Have you gone on a cruise before? If so when was the last time? The cruise ships have really changed over the years. If it has been a while, I highly recommend going on another cruise!!
I absolutely love cruises. My first cruise was in 1994 for my honeymoon. We absolutely loved it. We went on our next cruise and noticed the different personality of the cruise line immediately. It was much more formal. Both cruises were terrific but for us at that point in our lives, the less formal ship fit our personalities and lifestyle better. (We are heading back to the "more formal" cruise line now to experience it almost twenty years later.) When I began studying the cruise lines as a travel agent I found that aspect of the cruise lines fascinating. They all have their own brand and personality that they want to present. Picking the right ship and destinations can have a huge impact on whether or not someone cruises again. My father-in-law is the perfect example. He went on one very formal cruise and loved it. Several years later, he went on a different cruise line which was much less formal and he refused to cruise again for years. I have recently convinced him to go with us on a cruise next year but I know what he wants and will get the perfect match for him. I am also planning to win him over to cruising again.
What is your favorite cruise line? I have wanted to experience all the different cruise lines because I feel like that helps me advise on the best match with my clients. I do want to point out that if you have a cruise line you really like, it is beneficial to keep sailing with them. They tend to have loyalty programs that grant you different benefits and amenities the more often you cruise with the them.
