All cruises are full board and offer impeccable service, whilst a few cruise lines also offer an All Inclusive drinks package if you want to pre-budget before departing. Don&#8217;t forget to check out the shore excursions, spa treatments and even speciality restaurants that are run by celebrity chefs! There is always a superb selection of dining options for all tastes (even for the fussy ones like us) ranging from buffet style to a la Carte.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s never a dull moment on-board a ship with all the fantastic facilities they offer. Most ships now offer a spa, gym, multiple swimming pools and for those who like to chill out and read there&#8217;s a library and games rooms. Most ships have a theatre offering two shows an evening ranging from West End Shows to Comedian&#8217;s. For the children there are kids clubs, teen zones, and some cruise ships even offer water parks!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 35px;\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_11656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11656\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/team\/kirsty-ralphson.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11656\" title=\"kirsty-ralphson\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/kirsty-ralphson-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kirsty<\/figcaption><\/figure><em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most cruise ships now offer a bewildering variety of staterooms, but you can usually narrow them down to the following four broad categories: Inside, Ocean View, Balcony and Suites. It all depends what budget you have and how long you will spend in the stateroom, as this will help decide what would be best for you. At the time of booking, depending on the offer, you can also choose your stateroom number so you know exactly where you are located on the cruise ship.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you would not be able to afford a cruise or you may feel claustrophobic whilst on-board, then all those worries can be forgotten with the huge selection of options available to suit any need and budget. I would recommend a mini cruise for first timer cruisers to sample the ship and the luxury that comes with it. A cruise and stay would be perfect for established cruisers to gain a true experience of the chosen destination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/em>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/photo-40.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11663\" style=\"margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 18px;\" title=\"photo 40\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/photo-40-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/photo-27.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11662\" style=\"margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 18px;\" title=\"photo 27\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/photo-27-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/photo-26.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11661\" style=\"margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 18px;\" title=\"photo 26\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/photo-26-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/121.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11658\" style=\"margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 18px;\" title=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2014\/06\/121-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cruising offers a plethora of holiday experiences, neatly wrapped up in a single package.
