In the last post, I mention the fun about having kids on board for cruises. In case you don’t find that convincing enough to make decisions on your travel vacations, here are some more information about cruising.

The nice thing about cruises is that your holiday starts as soon as you get on the ship: thereís no sitting around in departure lounges and on planes. Most big cities have a port somewhere nearby, and the chances are that there are cruises no more than a few hoursí drive away from you.

So what can you do once youíre on a cruise ship? Modern cruise ships are basically like big, luxurious floating hotels, and are often truly huge, big enough to include a whole townís worth of facilities. The worldís largest ship is currently Freedom of the Seas, and listing everything on board would take a long time: it includes swimming pools and a water park, shops and cafes, an ice rink, a boxing ring, and more. The second-largest, the Queen Mary II, is arguably even better equipped, with restaurants and bars, a casino, swimming pools and a planetarium among other things. My friend, a bodybuilder, has been more more than ten cruises, he is one of those who believes on supplements and bsn xplode for his muscle building.

The best thing to do, though, is just sit back and relax. Because cruise ships are open at the top, itís no trouble for them to set sail down towards the equator and give you some real sun to enjoy.
