Cruise holidays are fun already. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add to your sea escape more flavors of amusement and excitement.
Well, of course you can, by spending extravagantly on luxury cabins, playing big in casino, headlining parties, and entering the royal-like banquets. But we’re talking about doing that with NO EXTRA EXPENSE.
Do you know how?
If you’re soon going on a cruise lines vacation, here are 9 brilliant ways to double its fun while also saving $$$-
Make it a group cruise ship travel
The more you are in number, the less will be the cost for each one of you since everyone will crowd-source the expense. Plus, let’s admit it, if you aren’t really a loner, you are better off with your friends and close ones around you than being alone on a big ship with strangers. Think about the fun you all can have together.
Take your own favourite wine
Many cruise lines will allow you to bring your own wine. So instead of hitting those bars on the ship and gulp down super-expensive wine, carry your own. Take the bottle on the deck, around midnight when it’s less crowded, pour it in the glass, and enjoy the serene view of stars and sea with your favourite wine in hand. Bliss. (Hint: Pack the wine bottle carefully!)
Keep the cruise short and sweet
Sure, cruise vacations are simply outstanding, giving you an experience of your lifetime. But the fact is, if it drags for too long, you’re going to run out of ‘to-do’ ideas and eventually get bored. So take a small-duration cruise and savor every moment on the sea with full on craziness.
Spend time photographing
Make memories on the ship and capture it on your camera to show the future-and-old-you just how incredible were you in the younger days. Bring out the hidden photographer in you and click pictures of self, strangers (of course, with permission), sea, birds, sunset and every awesome around.
Bid Adieu to your Smartphone (just for few days)
While scrolling through your endless Facebook and Twitter news feed might be fun when you’re sitting in your office, it isn’t when on cruise. In fact, it’s just the opposite. You want to have more fun? Give up your Smartphone and other gadgets; and detach yourself from the world (and its stress) for few days.
Embrace the beauty of the nature
Nothing – and we mean nothing – can beat the fun of losing yourself in the embrace of nature. With vast sea in front, wind tickling your cheeks, and birds cheerfully chirping, enjoy the peaceful moment—cherish it!
Hit the gym
Busy in your regular personal and professional life, you often forget to take care of your health. When on vacation, make the most of the time and hit the gym. If you aren’t known for your fitness-love, lifting and aerobics might sound boring, but take our words, they aren’t. Enjoy the adrenaline rush at the gym—it exciting and cheaper than, say passing your time at the bar or banquet.
Talk (or at least smile) to everyone on your way
Even if you don’t like or feel comfortable talking to strangers, break that barrier on your cruise ship travel. Talk to people who you don’t know, smile to them, listen to their stories, share yours, share laughs, share experiences and enjoy the beautiful conversation.
