Top 5 Places to Hang Out Onboard You’re Forgetting About

There’s so much to do onboard your average cruise ship that it’s too easy on sea days to become a crazy whirl of activities that require you to follow the tightest of schedules to fit everything in. Stop racing from the pool to the sports deck to the lecture theatre and take some time just to relax (one of the main reasons you went on the cruise to start with, right?) Here are some of the places onboard you should absolutely not be avoiding… 1-In The Hot Tub Or the steam room, or the sauna… anywhere in the ship’s spa is usually a good place to just practice your zen breathing and really sink your pedicured toes into some solitary chill time. Most liners have a basic spa but if you’re into your aromatherapy oils in a big way then one of the lines that goes the extra massage mile could be for you. On Crystal Symphony and Serenity you can sail away on a luxurious dry float bed and the AquaSpas on Celebrity’s newest ships boast a Persian Garden steam room for those times when a run of the mill sauna cabin just won’t do!  If you’re looking to compare the spas between cruise ships, read our definitive guide here… 2-The Games Room If your idea of the ultimate chill day at home is hanging with your games...

Why Cruising Is Better For Your Kids Than A Forest Holiday

Forest holidays and cruising; two holiday choices so popular you can’t sit down for a spot of telly without seeing an advert for one or the other. They’re both purported to be a great holiday for kids and adults…. which one is really best though? We thought we’d find out…… What Facilities Are There? Forest Holiday There’s not much point on going on holiday if there’s nothing to do or see, so British holiday complexes prepares a variety of activities for the whole family – and some just for the adults! Family favourites are here, cycling around the complex (or even a Segway if you’re feeling extreme) and an indoor climbing wall for big and little kids alike. There’s also bowling, table tennis and pottery painting to keep you occupied and the best part about it is probably the aerial adventure in which you navigate atop trees, perilous bridges and connecting ropes. Cruising It may surprise you but cruise ships have had all of these facilities for years now and even more! You can find rock climbing walls aboard Royal Caribbean, with Quantum of the Seas even featuring an indoor area for roller skating. You can find family favourites such as bowling on-board Norwegian Cruise Line. As for the Aerial Adventure, well you won’t be climbing around the tree tops but NCL’s got something better: the largest multi-level ropes course at sea. It...
