    Unlike many mainstream cruise lines, Celebrity Cruises offers a more refined experience that still incorporates dozens of activities and amenities for a spectacular vacation experience.

    66

    Celebrity Cruises was acquired by Royal Caribbean International in 1997 but each line operates as a separate entity with distinct characteristics.

    67

    Celebrity Cruises operates only a small fleet - less than a dozen current ships - but each vessel offers passengers only the best in amenities, luxuries, itineraries, and other features.

    68

    Despite a fewer number of ships, Celebrity Cruises offers a wide range of departure ports, including Fort Lauderdale and Miami in Florida as well as Galveston, TX and San Juan, Puerto Rico for various Caribbean voyages.

    69

    Most itineraries are seven to ten-day voyages, though a limited number of shorter sailings are available as well as a few lengthy cruises.

    70

    In 2004, Celebrity Cruises partnered with Cirque du Soleil to present some of the most spectacular entertainment available at sea with innovative interactive performances.

    71

    Unlike other mainstream cruise lines, Celebrity Cruises does not offer wacky, immodest games, or other silly activities.

    72

    To provide a true celebrity treatment to every passenger, Celebrity Cruises offers a number of extra amenities.

    73

    For a taste of both the luxury cruise experience and the active atmosphere of a mainstream cruise line, Celebrity Cruises is the perfect choice for a cruise vacation.

    74

    Royal Caribbean Cruises is another of the glitzy megaship cruise lines.

    75

    The company also controls Celebrity Cruises and has expanded itinerary options to include different Alaskan voyages.

    76

    With such a large number of ships, Royal Caribbean offers cruises from a number of U.S. ports.

    77

    Several ships' color schemes are coordinated with their itineraries, such as the tropical touches for the Pride of Aloha's Hawaiian cruises.

    78

    The shortest voyage is five nights, with the majority of cruises being seven nights in duration.

    79

    In fact, Norwegian has cornered the market on Hawaiian cruises and is the only mainstream line that currently offers year-round Hawaiian itineraries, with seven-, ten-, and eleven-night voyages.

    80

    Both Bahamas Cruises and several Caribbean itineraries offer the line's private island, Great Stirrup Cay, as a port of call.

    81

    The line's specialty is Alaskan voyages, with many seven-day cruises investigating the scenic Inside Passage, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Glacier Bay during the summer and fall months.

    82

    The majority of Holland America's cruises are seven days or longer, with many voyages ranging from ten to twenty-one days.

    83

    One quaint feature offered on longer Holland America cruises is the presence of gentlemen hosts to accompany single women as dining and dance companions.

    84

    Young couples may feel out of place with the older crowd, particularly if they have not cruised previously, since many of Holland America's passengers have taken multiple cruises.

    85

    Of all available itineraries, western Caribbean cruises are the most popular.

    86

    Western Caribbean cruises operate year round because of the region's temperate climate.

    87

    Short itineraries may not include much time at sea, while longer cruises often offer extended stays in more popular ports.

    88

    Whether you are interested in sun-drenched beaches, vibrant tropical reefs, exclusive shopping, or unique cultural venues, western Caribbean cruises offer something for every passenger.

    89

    Eastern Caribbean cruises offer delightful destinational to tempt both beginning and experienced cruisers.

    90

    The vast majority of cruises occur in the Caribbean, with its white sand beaches, majestic turquoise waters, and lush tropical islands.

    91

    While Western Caribbean Cruises are the most popular itineraries, Eastern Caribbean cruises run a close second.

    92

    All Caribbean cruises operate year round because of the region's temperate climate, with the months between April and October being the busiest because of spring break cruises, honeymoons, and summer vacations.

    93

    If you prefer a more relaxed pace, you may want to consider off-season cruises, which may be less expensive as well.

    94

    Though less well known, eastern Caribbean cruises are gaining popularity as more people discover the natural beauty and wealth of the region.

    95

    Nassau Bahamas Cruises are some of the most popular of warm-weather cruises.Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is one of the most frequently visited Caribbean cruise ports.

    96

    Several cruise lines offer Bahamas-only cruises that stop at Nassau and perhaps Freeport or a private island, while eastern and exotic Caribbean itineraries often include Nassau.

    97

    Nassau Bahamas cruises invariably dock at the Prince George Wharf in downtown Nassau.

    98

    Both Alaskan Cruises and Hawaiian voyages are specialized itineraries that focus on several ports of call within those destinations.

    99

    Bermuda Cruises are a favorite for departure ports in the northeastern United States, and New England and Canadian cruises are seasonal variations that explore magnificent autumn foliage.

    100

    European cruises are popular and have several distinct regions such as the Mediterranean, the British Isles, and northern Europe.

    101

    Around the world cruises are the ultimate getaway, often lasting several months and calling on dozens of different ports.

    102

    Costa Mediterranean Cruises, officially Costa Cruises, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnival Cruise Corporation.

    103

    Costa Mediterranean Cruises has eleven ships, ranging from sparkling newly constructed megaships to refitted, yet comfortable ships acquired from other cruise lines.

    104

    Costa Cruises sails throughout the Caribbean and throughout Europe.

    105

    Other Costa Cruises itineraries include South American sailings, such as the CostaVictoria's cruise along the Brazilian coastline.

    106

    Periodic "repositioning" cruises are also offered, that is cruises which take a ship from one part of the world to another, such as a transatlantic voyage.

    107

    Such cruises are often very good values.

    108

    Costa Cruises ships are geared towards a young, active crowd.

    109

    Dining on Costa Cruises follows the traditional two-seating system, with casual options also offered for breakfast and lunch.

    110

    Costa Cruises offers an organized children's program on all of their ships for kids from 2 to 19, in four age-group categories.

    111

    LoveToKnow Cruises is the first stop on an excellent cruise vacation.

    112

    The LoveToKnow Cruises community is made up of cruise aficionados and travel enthusiasts.

    113

    The staff writers at LoveToKnow Cruises have years of cruise-specific travel experience in both personal and professional capacities.

    114

    Cruises are widely varied and so is the content here at LoveToKnow Cruises.

    115

    Detailed overviews of different cruise lines, from mainstream lines such as Carnival Cruise Line and Disney Cruise Line to luxury lines such as Cunard Cruise Line and Radisson Seven Seas Cruises.

    116

    Down-to-earth information such as Cruise Price Inclusions and Discount Cruises to help you find the best deal for your budget.

    117

    Regional destination reviews for different itineraries including the Nile, Mediterranean, western and eastern Caribbean, Alaskan Cruises, Hawaiian Cruises, Private Island Cruises and more.

    118

    Most seven-night southern Caribbean cruises depart from this port.

    119

    Because of the shorter distances involved, cruises from San Juan can reach a different island every day, allowing for a lot of variety.

    120

    Discount Carnival Cruises can be found quite easily, but there are limitations and restrictions that every passenger should be aware of when considering these great deals.

    121

    The majority of Carnival's discounts are associated with Bahamas Cruises and Caribbean sailings, because that is where the majority of the lines itineraries are scheduled.

    122

    Many cruise-oriented websites also offer discounts on Carnival cruises, though their offers may not be as affordable as those purchased directly through the cruise line.

    123

    In order to discount cruises, many agencies lessen their own commission to beat their competitors' prices.

    124

    Past guest cruises are typically arranged 2-4 times per year, usually in off-season months.

    125

    The majority of past guest cruises are seven nights long.

    126

    Discount Carnival cruises aren't difficult to find, but they can be difficult to plan because of limited time offers and restricted availability.

    127

    Discount Cruises are available under certain circumstances, and price breaks often allow you to select a better cabin or longer voyage without breaking the bank.

    128

    Royal Caribbean Cruises are a better choice for the fitness-minded, with onboard climbing walls, skating rinks, and even surf machines on their largest vessels.

    129

    More luxurious lines such as Holland America Cruise Line, Cunard Cruise Line, and Seabourn Cruises offer sedate experiences in a relaxed cruising atmosphere with superior service.

    130

    Family cruises are the latest trend in relaxing vacations.

    131

    An excellent option is to investigate cruises that stop at private islands, where a wide range of supervised activities may be available - some cruise lines even offer an extension of their children's programs on shore.

    132

    Just because they are meant for families, that doesn't mean that family cruises don't have plenty of activities for parents to enjoy as adults.

    133

    Children can enjoy an endless array of fantastic activities on cruises.

    134

    Despite the plethora of activities geared toward either children or adults exclusively, there are many things to do together on family cruises.

    135

    Third- and fourth-person fares are often drastically slashed on cruises, letting children sail for half the cost of their parents if they stay in the same cabin.

    136

    With proper planning to choose the best cruise line and itinerary, family cruises can be a delightful experience for young and old.

    137

    Most cruise lines that offer Alaskan voyages also have some variety of cruise tours available, including Carnival and Princess Cruises, though their options are typically shorter than those offered by Holland America.

    138

    Based in Miami, Oceania Cruises is a relative newcomer to the travel industry.

    139

    Renaissance Cruises was the former home for Oceania's ships, and the old line sank into bankruptcy in September 2001.

    140

    Warm, dark woods and rich fabrics offer comfort and luxury aboard Oceania cruises.

    141

    Oceania Cruises offers vacations ranging from ten to over twenty-five nights in length, though the majority of their sailings are twelve to fourteen nights.

    142

    Oceania Cruises prides itself on luscious dining, and each ship offers four restaurants for a wide range of culinary experiences.

    143

    Unlike most other cruise lines, Oceania Cruises does not offer revue-style shows.

    144

    Oceania Cruises operates with a distinctly casual, relaxed atmosphere, though passengers in higher level suites are truly pampered with more luxurious facilities and attentive butler service.

    145

    Oceania Cruises is the perfect choice for passengers who want to avoid the crowded mass of humanity aboard modern megaships without sacrificing fine dining, attentive service, and other touches of luxury.

    146

    For a taste of Caribbean flair featuring more exotic ports than the typical tourist destinations, consider southern Caribbean cruises.

    147

    Longer voyages may depart from northern embarkation points, include points of interest in South America, or they may be segments of world cruises.

    148

    The majority of voyages are seven days, typically alternating with other Caribbean itineraries - usually eastern cruises -- every other week.

    149

    Caribbean-based embarkation ports for southern cruises include San Juan, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.

    150

    Ships on southern Caribbean cruises may visit several ports of call, with smaller ships (typically from luxury lines) being capable of entering more remote and isolated harbors.

    151

    Southern Caribbean cruises are a pleasant alternative to more crowded Caribbean routes, yet they still offer a wide range of distinctive ports and delightful tropical destinations.

    152

    San Diego is the starting point for many different cruises, and with its southern California location and gorgeous climate it is the perfect spot to begin a great vacation.

    153

    Pacific coast cruises that sail up to San Francisco, Washington, and Oregon.

    154

    Panama Canal cruises that may include other Central American or southern Caribbean ports.

    155

    Hawaiian Cruises covering several islands, possibly with an additional stop in Mexico.

    156

    Both round trip and one-way cruises are offered, with most lengths approximately 7-8 nights.

    157

    Cruises are available in the 4-30 night range, however, giving passengers plenty of options for a vacation to suit their schedule and their budget.

    158

    For more information about cruises from San Diego, travelers should visit the official website at www.portofsandiego.org, or call (619) 686-6200.

    159

    These specialty cruises don't stop at ports of call, but passengers are treated to the best of the cruising lifestyle, including gourmet dining, spectacular entertaining, formal nights, and onboard activities.

    160

    Cruises to nowhere are infrequently offered, however, and because their two night length is very popular for a quick getaway, interested passengers should be sure to reserve their voyage well in advance.

    161

    Parking fees cost $24 per day for a standard car, though monthly rates are available for longer cruises at a reduced rate.

    162

    No passengers under the age of 6 are permitted on these cruises, and there are few organized children's programs.

    163

    For a truly unconventional cruise vacation in a relaxed, no-frills atmosphere, many passengers choose Windjammer Barefoot Cruises.

    164

    Other popular itinerary options include Alaskan cruises, Mediterranean cruises, Hawaiian cruises, and numerous options for Canadian, New England, Mexico, and Bahamas destinations.

    165

    Cruises are great family vacations, but choosing just the right kids cruises depends on several factors, including what activities the ship offers, which line includes appropriate children's programs, and what the kids' expectations are.

    166

    Young passengers are active and energetic, and cruise ships that cater to their sense of fun will be the best match for these kids cruises.

    167

    Many Disney cruises can also be combined into packages with visits to Walt Disney World.

    168

    Cruises are a great family getaway, and parents have many options when planning kids cruises.

    169

    As an ocean liner, she is subtly different than a standard cruise ship, and is equipped for longer sailings through more turbulent open-ocean waters, including transatlantic and world cruises.

    170

    For meeting like-minded, fun-loving individuals, there are no better venues than Carnival singles cruises.

    171

    Though most mainstream cruise lines offer theme cruises, including singles voyages, Carnival is the most popular line for this type of cruise for several reasons.

    172

    Carnival singles cruises are also a great option for younger cruisers, because as a whole, the line attracts a larger percentage of 20- and 30-something cruisers than most other cruise lines.

    173

    This is due in part to Carnival's affordability, with many discount options available, including great rates on group cruises.

    174

    Most singles cruises are shorter voyages (typically 3-5 nights), perfect for novice cruisers as well as experienced travelers.

    175

    Yet singles cruises are slightly different than traditional voyages, and passengers should know what to expect if they book their cabin as part of a singles group.

    176

    Special privileges are not extended to groups beyond dedicated events, and groups that are consistently disruptive may not be permitted on future cruises.

    177

    Carnival singles cruises are arranged by interested groups of many diverse themes.

    178

    The benefit to singles cruises arranged by groups is that the individuals choosing to take the cruise already have some common interests, increasing the likelihood of making new friends while on board.

    179

    If there are no group cruises that appeal to you, consult a travel agent about more generic singles sailings.

    180

    Group cruises must usually have a minimum number of booked passengers to qualify for discounts, and reservations must be made well in advance to guarantee the best rates.

    181

    Carnival singles cruises can be a fun getaway for both newbie and experienced passengers.

    182

    Caribbean ports of call demand bright colors and loose-fitting, comfortable clothes, while New England cruises may be better paired with muted colors.

    183

    Many corporate groups book cruises with Royal Caribbean because the ships offer an immense variety of cruise activities and destinations to choose from, ensuring that everyone has an enjoyable getaway.

    184

    Unlike lines that require past guests to have taken multiple cruises, however, Royal Caribbean guests can register as past guests after just one sailing, and discount fares may be available to book right on board.

    185

    Additionally, the cruise line arranges special discounts for past passengers on select sailings (frequently for five-night or longer cruises) throughout the year.

    186

    These heavily discounted rates are often for last minute cruises or popular itineraries, but the deals sell out quickly.

    187

    The Celebrity Cruises fleet is relatively small compared to well-known lines such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean; only 11 ships currently sail under the Celebrity banner.

    188

    As a premium cruise line, Celebrity offers the best of luxury cruises at a more affordable price for passengers.

    189

    Texas is the last place many people associate with cruises, but the Port of Galveston on the state's southeastern coast offers a range of options for interested travelers, and none are more popular than Galveston Royal Caribbean cruises.

    190

    Cruise ships first began operating from Galveston in 1974, and Royal Caribbean Cruises began offering a variety of sailings from the port in 2001.

    191

    Because of its location in the extreme western part of the Caribbean, western Caribbean cruises are the most common offerings for passengers departing from Texas.

    192

    Because of Galveston's distance from most major cruise ports of call, cruises sailing from the port typically have a greater number of at-sea days than from departure ports closer to popular sailing routes.

    193

    If the Galveston Royal Caribbean cruises do not appeal to travelers, there are other ships that regularly sail from the Texas port.

    194

    For more information about Galveston Royal Caribbean cruises and other sailings from this port city, contact the port directly via their official website, www.PortofGalveston.com or by calling (409) 765-9321.

    195

    Texas may be an unlikely candidate for beginning a cruise vacation, but Galveston Royal Caribbean cruises are growing in popularity with more options offered every year.

    196

    When most people think of Palm Springs, they imagine resorts and luxurious living, but Palm Springs cruises rarely cross their mind, and for good reason.

    197

    The reason that Palm Springs is not typically associated with cruises is because of its location.

    198

    San Francisco has a wide range of dinner cruises as well as culturally expressive river cruises in addition to the more familiar ocean-going voyages.

    199

    This makes Palm Springs the perfect jumping off point for gay cruises.

    200

    Palm Springs cruises may seem to be a contradiction, but this southern California city is uniquely placed to serve as a way stop for all the California departure ports and their wide range of 3 to 20 night itineraries.

    201

    Adults only cruise ships are an attractive option for newlywed couples, retired couples, singles cruises, or parents just eager for a private getaway, but unfortunately, they are also very rare.

    202

    Currently no cruise lines in the US offer cruises for adults only; however in the UK the Thomson Cruise Fleet offers one adult ship (The Calypso), which requires passengers be at least sixteen years of age.

    203

    P and O Cruises also offer two child-free ships, the Artemis, and the Acadia.

    204

    Eastern Caribbean cruises and Southern Caribbean cruises are more popular with adults, as are Bermuda cruises, sailings in Europe, and other exotic destinations.

    205

    River cruises are frequently favored by adults as well.

    206

    Spring break cruises during March and April are likely to include families and teens, as are summer voyages.

    207

    Cruises in other months are less likely to have as many children on board.

    208

    For some cruise passengers, a shopping trip in the Caribbean may be adventurous enough, but adventure cruises go far beyond typical cruise activities and popular ports of call.

    209

    Also called expedition cruises, these sailings offer passengers an up close look at each destination's flora, fauna, and culture.

    210

    In addition to experiencing cruise destinations in a new and intimate way, world adventure travel cruises also have a different philosophy than most mainstream cruise lines.

    211

    Expedition cruises can be found on every continent.

    212

    The most popular destinations, however, are often isolated and exotic, such as Galapagos island cruises or voyages to the Antarctic.

    213

    Detailed Alaskan cruises along the Inside Passage exploring native Inuit villages.

    214

    Ring of Fire cruises spanning the volcanic region from Alaska to Japan.

    215

    Passengers interested in world adventure travel cruises need to prepare differently for their vacation than if they were going on a more popular itinerary.

    216

    For example, on a voyage that includes Zodiac tours and water landings, passengers may be asked to bring waterproof wading boots, and rain gear is often recommended for adventure cruises.

    217

    Adventure cruises are popular among mature travelers, and certifications of the passengers' good health not only ensure they are fit for the adventures ahead, but also protect the cruise lines' liability.

    218

    Making cruise reservations for world adventure travel cruises is more difficult than for traditional voyages.

    219
