Vacation on Cruise...questions, tips, & suggestions

non refundable ba ang payment sa cruise if na deny ka for a visa?

Cruises are relatively cheaper compared to staying at 5-star hotels IMO. But then that depends on which city the hotel is located LOL.

That i'm not sure.  ang pagka alam ko, may specific deadlines when you can cancell na may refund or pwede for rebooking and when  kapag nag cancel ka forfeited na.

kami din nag-cruise kami last year pero mexico cruise lang. 7 days, 3 ports. masaya naman. nakakataba but since i really wanted to experience everything there, we ate at the fine dining place 3 times yata and even paid extra for the special restaurant where i was served perhaps the biggest steak i have ever had. the rooms are nice, parang hotel din. although because we got the ordinary rooms, the bathrooms are rather masikip. that's expected though. im sure the suite rooms are wider but the rates are also very very high.

maraming pinoy so masaya. serbisyong totoo sila pagka ganun kasi excited din sila makakita ng kababayan lalo na yung galing sa pinas.

ganun talaga especially kapag maganda ang promo. mabilis maubos.   for our cruise 6 months to 1 year ahead kami nag-book kasi promo price din.  if you have relatives in the US, try mo pa-book kasi parang mas mura.  Or try to inquire if may local travel agent.  baka mas maraming allocation sa travel agents.

If you want to find out naman whether maganda ang cruise experience sa costa, you can check out cruisecritics.  paste the link here. para siyang tripadvisor pero for cruise ships naman.

kakahanap ko ng best deal cruise sa net, dami kong natutunan about cruising, i think i better not to hurry baka mapalpak pa ang first ever cruising namin ng family. meron pala mga last minute deal na super cheap. search search  muna ko hehe

[portugalbear]

cruising is something really to consider.  ang normal fear is baka mahilo.  ako mahiloin and i was scared na baka la ako magawa kundi magsuka sa room.  sayang naman binayaran ko and all the food.   pero depende rin kung saan ka pumunta and when.  yun cruise namin was super stable.  di nakakahilo.  in fact, makakalimutan mo nasa ship ka.   i guess kasi super laki rin yun ship.  yun sinakyan namin is probably as wide as ayala avenue and yun length niya from Edsa cor ayala, up to makati avenue.  i heard it's one of the biggest.  tama ka na research ka lang on what others are saying.
