Imagine this: you return home from your getaway where you visited four different countries within a week, and tried some of the finest cuisines while sailing across the Mediterranean, soaking up inspiring cultures that you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Cruises offer something special; a unique experience you’ll struggle to capture anywhere else. And although the overall experience isn’t something you’ll find in the comforts of wherever you call home, it doesn’t mean you can’t find pieces of it on most cruises today.
Cinemas
Most of us have a cinema where we live. It may not necessarily be close to where you are, but you know where one is if you need it. These days, more and more cruise ships are catering to movie lovers that fancy some time away from exotic sea views, sun lounging or hitting the bars.
The American cruise line corporation, Princess Cruises, has now made open cinemas a prominent feature on their cruises. Whether it’s the norm now, who knows? But there is something impressive, almost magical, about replicating the cinema experience while you sail the open ocean.
Casinos
Avid casino players don’t have to look far if they’re embarking on a cruise ship holiday – there are many cruises that include a casino section in some form, no matter how big or small. However, cruise ship casinos may not see the numbers they’d like because many casino goers can now play online, wherever they are. This means that players can soak up the sun on the deck while gaming. The joys of modern wifi!
It’s worth noting that, although most cruises are all-inclusive, any additional activities, like visiting the casino, could cost customers extra money. And if the casino doesn’t offer any money-saving incentives, it may deter players. Whereas, with online casinos, for example, there are offers with no wagering requirements which are amazing value – these types of casinos aren’t always easy to find. Therefore players can save a lot of money while playing an abundance of games that may not be available on the cruise in the first place, all while enjoying the cruise ship experience.
Sports Bars
This one is for all the sports lovers out there. There’s nothing quite like rooting for your favourite team and sipping on your favourite drinks while in great company. It’s more than likely you’re able to find a few sports bars back home, and plenty of modern-day cruises don’t want you to look far during your voyage.
P&O Cruises have the Champion’s Pub, providing go-to snacks, drinks and coverage of all the sports you can watch. Royal Caribbean Cruises include the Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, boasting all the same sport-watching necessities.
Going on a cruise is a one-in-a-lifetime adventure, there’s no questioning that. It’s a distinct experience that can completely take you away from day-to-day life back home. But for those that yearn for a cruise but still want to enjoy and be accompanied by homely remedies, these perplexing voyagers have you covered.
