Planning your next vacation? Many people love taking cruises for vacations. We’ll detail the top reasons people prefer cruises to other vacations.

Less Planning

When you travel to a single destination, you must book transportation and lodging. You’ll need to plan an itinerary and buy tickets to museums or shows. You may feel overwhelmed by all the choices you have to make and how much time planning requires.

With a cruise, almost all the planning is taken care of for you. You simply choose the cruising dates and locations, then participate as you wish once on board. If you don’t like planning, cruises can be a great option for you.

A Buffet of Options

On a cruise, you have so many options for entertainment and recreation in one convenient spot. You can swim, relax, eat a variety of different cuisines, shop, get a massage

After an alleged slip and fall accident aboard a deck on the Oceania Cruises Marina, one woman has filed a case with the U. S. District Court for damages related to her injuries.

The woman claims that since the cruise line was negligent in several ways, it is financially responsible for her bone fractures and contusions. She alleges that the steps and flooring were not marked as being wet or slippery, nor were they dried in a reasonable period of time. Her allegations include that since the walkway was not secure and no measures were taken to provide a non-skid surface, and since employees were improperly trained, the cruise line is liable for her injuries.

Is she right? How do cases like these work?

Below, we’re going to break down how slip and fall injury cases work when they happen on a cruise

Temperatures are rising, and the idea of a cruise vacation sounds more relaxing than ever. Even if you head out on a cruise every year, you still have many options for a brand new experience this year.

Movie buffs and action fans can see the latest movies in the ship’s IMAX Theatre. Adults can kick back at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse/Brewhouse, a restaurant and brewery created with the help of Guy Fieri. Another option for foodies is a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant, the first of its kind on a Carnival cruise

Earlier this year, a Floridian woman filed a lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Lines for an incident that led to serious injuries in the Bahamas. She was on a Carnival cruise to the Bahamas and decided to embark on a safari tour. Tour guides took the guests in a Mercedez-Benz Unimog, a notoriously unsafe vehicle without seat belts. The Unimog flipped over, and the woman was thrown from the vehicle. She suffered multiple broken bones and multiple surgeries for tears and fractures. She was among 10 cruise guests injured on the tour.

Her injuries did not happen on the cruise, but the activity was set up through Carnival. Because of this, she has argued that the two companies are so closely tied that she was not aware that the tour was put on by a separate company.

This is not an uncommon case. Many injured

Looking for a unique cruise that can potentially save you a bundle? In this post, we’ll tell you how repositioning cruises could work for you.

What Is a Repositioning Cruise?

Cruise lines need to relocate their ships to different ports during the off-season. Since summer and winter are peak seasons for traditional cruises, repositioning cruises are often held in the spring or fall.

A repositioning cruise is a one-way trip between two locations, such as Alaska and the Caribbean. Cruise companies offer this option for customers who want a cheaper price.

Repositioning cruises are often longer than typical cruises. They involve fewer port stops and are often less crowded. They often feature other perks like free wi-fi connections and additional onboard programming for the longer voyage.

The open sea, obviously. Relaxing on a white sand beach somewhere? Tanning on the deck of the ship while you sip a martini? Mountains and mountains of food? A giant floating shopping mall where people enjoy duty-free purchases?

If these thoughts make you cringe rather than salivate, you might not think cruising is for you. Sadly, cruise lines probably aren’t exactly endearing themselves to you, either when you read stories like this, which recently appeared in the LA Times:

The Carnival Horizon, which just took its first voyage earlier in 2018, has a two-story shopping mall on board. It features brands like Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Victoria’s Secret, Le Vian jewelry, Hublot, and Breitling, as well as deluxe offerings for beauty products, fragrances, sweets, liquors, and tobacco.
