Cruises are a great way to see the world and maximize your travel budget however, it is also easy to find yourself the victim of common complaints as well. Rather than waiting for something to happen, take a look at some of the most common complaints and how you can avoid them on your voyage.
Having to pay double for solo travel – A common complaint, most cruises are set up for two or more guests meaning that for many solo travelers, you will find yourself paying more to have a room to yourself. Some cruise lines get around this by offering you the option of having a roommate and some will not. Others cater to solo travelers. Know the ins and outs of occupancy before you book your cruise.
The annoyances of phones and the internet – Bad connections and extra fees are just a few of the common complaints in regards to communication. Remember, you are on vacation and likely, you may also be traveling in international waters. Know the fees and understand that internet service is not likely going to be great. Take a break and relax, you will be glad you did.
Cruises are supposed to be all inclusive – This is somewhat true, but that doesn’t mean everything is included. You will be privy to certain meals, certain beverages and some activities in your all inclusive, just the basics. If you want more, including shore excursions and meals other than the buffet style, you will be paying.
Stomach ailments – While for most, large ships can not even be felt, the smaller ships and even some sensitive stomachs may feel some movement. If you are adversely affected by ocean movement, don’t wait to feel sick, get a sea sick patch to take care of the problem, you will likely get used to it.
