Naturally you may call us at any time for assistance at (800) 435-4512 or in Atlanta at (770) 447-4512, or e-mail us at customerservice@allinterlineres.com. back to top Is cruising affordable and a good vacation value? Yes! There are cruise vacations to suit every budget, from the cost-conscious to the most luxurious. Even more important, a cruise offers the best travel value for your money. Your fare includes all meals, your cabin, onboard daytime activities, nighttime parties and entertainment. So for once, you'll know what your vacation will end up costing you before you go. (Your only extra expenses will be drinks, optional shore excursions, and personal services such as massage or hairstyling.) back to top Where can I go? Where do you want to go? Cruises visit practically any destination accessible by water -- the Caribbean, Bahamas, Alaska, Bermuda, Europe, Hawaii, the Greek Isles, the Orient, Australia, Tahiti, the Galapagos Islands, South America, India, the Panama Canal and more. If you can name it, we can probably get you there by ship. back to top How long are cruises? As long or short as you want. There are cruise lines that offer itineraries from three days to three months. Whatever your schedule, we'll do our best to find the cruise for you. back to top Are all ships and cruises similar? Far from it. Ships range from under 200 feet to over 1,000 feet. You can sail with anywhere from fewer than 100 fellow passengers to over 2,600. Experience atmospheres ranging from casual to formal, classically simple to ultra-deluxe. You can even choose between traditional propeller-driven craft, sail-assisted cruise ships, or even a paddle-wheel river boat. back to top What's the best time to take a cruise? Anytime is the best time to take a cruise, but it also depends on where you'd like to go. The Caribbean is fantastic year round; however, some of the more exotic destinations are seasonal. For example, you can only cruise to Alaska between May and September; to Europe between April and November; to Bermuda, between April and October; the Panama Canal, between September and April. So you see, no matter what time of year it is, it's a perfect time to cruise. back to top What's there to do in port? So much you'll have a hard time choosing! You can go off on your own. Or take a guided tour. You can search ancient ruins or hunt for shopping bargains. Ride a raft over river rapids, a bicycle down the side of a volcano, or ride a horse across the beach. Climb a waterfall or pyramid. Follow the footsteps of history or the wake of a water skiing boat. Play golf or tennis. Eat native foods. Learn how to windsurf. Sun and swim at some of the world's best beaches. Catch a record marlin. Sail, snorkel, or go scuba diving. Go to a nightclub or glittering casino. Take a Cable car to the top of a mountain. In short, a cruise is the easiest way to see new places and do all the things you dream of. Cruising is the perfect way to sample a number of destinations that you may want to return to for another vacation...and you never have to pack and unpack the destinations come to you! back to top Do cruise lines welcome families with kids? 32% of cruise vacations are booked by families with children. Most cruise lines make a special point of providing supervised activities for youngsters, especially during school holidays. If your children enjoy swimming, sports, games, movies, and the adventure of new places, they'll love a family cruise. You'll find the kids adapt to shipboard life with ease, and you won't have to wonder what they're up to every minute. The cruise staff will help keep them busy and entertained. Best of all, children generally travel at a substantially reduced rate. back to top Is cruising right for honeymooners? Without a doubt. Cruising offers an atmosphere that's just right for romance... cozy dinners for two, strolling on deck at sunset, dancing the night away (even under the stars) and so much more to remember forever. Most lines provide special services from Sunday or Monday departures to welcome champagne and breakfast in bed. (And, speaking of beds, most ships have them in double, queen, or king sizes!) Also, some ships offer special programs for performing a marriage ceremony or renewing your marriage vows in port. back to top Can singles have fun on a cruise? Cruising is ideal for people traveling alone, because it's so easy to meet other people. In fact, most ships have parties just for singles early on, so you can start to be involved right away. Most ships also have single cabins as well as single rates for double staterooms. In many cases, a cruise line will even find you a roommate to share a double if you ask them. back to top At a hotel, I can come and go. Will I feel restricted? Not with our large, sun-plashed lobbies, comfortably sized staterooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious pool decks and wide variety of bars, lounges and entertainment areas aboard the most luxurious cruise lines in the world. back to top Is a cruise really the best way to visit these islands? Definitely! Day after day, you get to explore different tropical islands, glorious beaches and sunset views. All with no worries about packing and unpacking, airline schedules or where to go for the best sights once you get there. We take care of the planning. You just enjoy yourself. Plus when you add up all you would spend on hotels, restaurants, airfare and entertainment, a cruise actually costs less. Now that's a vacation. back to top What about passengers with special needs? Cruise Mart welcomes passengers with special needs and works to assist them throughout their vacation. All ships sailing the Caribbean and Bahamas have accessible staterooms. Public rooms and the private islands, CocoCay and Labadee, are also accessible. In addition, special diets can be accommodated. back to top What should I pack? Days on board are casual and you'll be most comfortable in sports clothes and resort wear. Shoes should be low-healed for deck activities. Bring a couple of swimsuits so you'll always have one dry. For evening wear, count on three basic types of attire: Casual: sundresses, or slacks and blouses for women; sport shirts and trousers for men. Smart Casual: dresses for women; jackets for men. Formal: cocktail dresses for women; suits and ties, or tuxedos if they wish, for men. Ashore, you'll need comfortable walking shoes as well as a hat and sunscreen for protection from the sun. back to top What about blow dryers, electric razors, adapters and laundry? Bring your blow-dryer and electric razor (you won't need an adapter). For a very sensible fee, we'll do your laundry and dry cleaning in just one day. What could be better? back to top What if I want to find out more about All Interline Reservations? Just call one of our travel professionals.
