Many of you know how high I am on cruises. To me, they are the ultimate vacation, as they embody so many different aspects of a vacation.
While deciding if you can take a cruise, there are some aspects to look at.
First, your budget/wallet. See if you can afford to go. Many are as low as $400, some on into the 1,000s. Look at the price, especially if you're going solo, and start there.
Next, see when the dates are and how much time off from work you have to use. You may need to use more than a week so look at the dates carefully.
Also, plan carefully if it's hurricane season (end of August-end of October). Yes boats direct around storms and the prices are lower, but risk versus reward must be measured.
The next part will be getting all of your intangibles ready such as your passport, your long form birth certificate, travel arrangements unless they are included and monies for extra.
Really it boils down to a money and a time thing.
Therefore, if everything lines up properly, go for it! You literally only live once and it could be a great experience for you. It's all about planning, really, from start to finish.
