&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Reasons to cruise, why people cruise, save money cruises, save
and cruise, cruise for comfort is presented.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;#1 – Stuff to do onboard.&amp;nbsp;
How do you find out what&#39;s going on each day? A daily newsletter is
delivered to your cabin each evening. One will also be waiting for you when you
arrive. In it, you&#39;ll find the schedule for the next day&#39;s activities and
entertainment offerings, as well as opening hours for the spa, restaurants,
onboard shops and bars. You may also find listings for movies on your in-cabin
TV, information on scheduled ports of call, debarkation and embarkation
information, and sunrise and sunset times. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;Want to pamper yourself at the
spa while your spouse hits the casino? Or lounge in the sun reading a book
while your family plays basketball. You can go to an educational lecture, a
wine tasting, a computer class or a dance workshop; paint pottery, play bridge,
learn a language or do yoga; dine at a casual buffet, a fancy sit-down
restaurant, a sushi bar, a diner or a steakhouse; watch a movie, a comedy
routine, a song-and-dance show or live music performance. And if all you want
to do is nothing while the ship sails from port to port you can do that, too.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;#2 – Eliminate fear.&amp;nbsp; If you&#39;re uncomfortable with independent
sightseeing in a new locale, simply take a ship&#39;s tour with English-speaking
guides. Or team up with more experienced travelers you meet online or onboard
to share a cab or private guide.&amp;nbsp; Also, Itineraries
offer calls at major cities and picturesque villages, all of which will be
regional highlights, so you don&#39;t have to do the research on the best places to
visit in an unfamiliar destination.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;#3 – Eliminate hassles.&amp;nbsp; Onboard shops sell the toiletries you forgot
to pack, medical centers can provide medicine or a doctor&#39;s services if needed,
and laundry facilities let you wash your clothes mid-cruise so you don&#39;t need
to over-pack.&amp;nbsp; Also, Cruise ships are
like floating cities with everything you could possibly want onboard. Today&#39;s
vessels are outfitted with Wi-Fi, cell service and satellite TV so you can stay
in touch with the real world during your cruise (if you even want to).&amp;nbsp; Also, On a cruise, you unpack once and your
floating hotel takes you from city to city or from island to island and there&#39;s
no need to mess with train or ferry schedules, or lug your suitcase along
cobblestone streets.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;#4 – Eliminate planning issues.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: windowtext; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;&quot;&gt;Pick your ship&lt;/span&gt;, itinerary and cabin, and away
you go -- no searching for hotels in your price range, no coordinating travel
between cities. You can even get your travel agent to arrange your airfare for
you -- or choose a departure port within driving distance to eliminate that
extra planning step.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;#5 – Eliminate child
problems.&amp;nbsp; Ships now have extensive kids&#39;
facilities, split by age. Teens have their own cool hangouts, far away from the
play areas for the little ones (and certainly a nice distance from
parent-friendly pools and bars). How can you not love a trip that features
video games and swimming pools, while offering time for families to be together
at dinner or onshore excursions?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;#6 – Get Romantic.&amp;nbsp; If you want to rekindle the spark with your
sweetie, a cruise vacation provides plenty of together time -- sharing
side-by-side lounge chairs by the pool, a table for two at dinner, dancing in
the evening or sharing quality time onshore.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Reasons to cruise, why people cruise, save money cruises, save
and cruise, cruise for comfort has been described.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
