Answer 1

Most cruises are round-trip, although there are plenty of one-way cruises too. If you take a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas, you'll generally leave out of Florida, stop at an island from say 9A-5P the next day, get back on the ship, cruise to another island the next day, stay there from say 8A-3P, get back on the ship, and then cruise back to Florida. There are shore excursions available at your ports of call, or you can just get off of the ship and explore on your own. They'll tell you when you need to be back on the ship. Or instead of getting off, you can stay on the ship and enjoy their amenities. Most cruise lines will give you a daily 'newspaper' that will tell you what your options are for the next day. There is a ton of stuff to do. You can do as much or as little as you want.

Answer 2

When you go on a cruise you are offered a variety of things to do on arrival in , say, The Bahamas, and every other Port you arrive at. Cruises are round trip. You stay in the Bahamas for a day or so, and then it is time to get back on the Ship. Talk to your travel agent, or look into a cruise on line. It will map out where you are going and on what days in the itinerary.

Answer 3

When you take a cruise is like when you take a flight , you have to buy it round trip, or maybe one way, but you have a scheduled to return later. Generally we buy a cruise round trip, from the place you departed it will returned (depend the days you take the cruise) 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 or more days. But for better information contact your travel agent or go to an agencie.

Answer 4

The cruise ship normally takes you back again or the cruise organisers arrange an air trip home.

Answer 5

Basically you have fun on the ship all the way there , while you are in ports and all the way back. Here's how it works.

Once you are on ship the staff caters to you, its whatever you want. There is something to do all day every day. When you arrive at the port to check in you (each passenger) will receive a key card which will serve as your room key, charge card for anything you buy on ship (i.e.,drinks, souvenir) and its also your pass to get on and off ship in each port. When you first board the ship the security personnel will have you insert your key card into a scanner and then will take a photo of you that is included in the magnetic strip on the card. Each time you get off ship you will need this key card and many times also a photo ID (passport or driver's license). This card allows them to keep an accurate track of all passengers entering and/or leaving the ship. Infants and small children may be required to wear an ID bracelet (like in the hospital) in lieu of carry a card.

Each day of your cruise you will receive in your cabin a "newsletter" listing the time, place and particulars of everything happening for you on ship. There are generally activities like demonstrations of ice carvings, napkin folding and towel folding, and cooking demonstrations. Some ships may offer a galley (kitchen) tour or a tour of the bridge. There may be organized games and other activities around the pools. In the evenings there are generally shows, one show for those with an early dinner seating and another (same show) for those who eat late. There is always food available. Usually there is a place in ship where you can go get something. Or, you can always just pick up the phone in your cabin and order from the room service menu (food is free). If you want, you can order breakfast room service.

All ships have a casino with slots and table games. Ships have movie theaters, generally small but nice, and you can also see movies in your room. They have ATM’s and a purser’s desk where you can cash a check or exchange currency if you need to. There is a tour and activities desk so you can schedule land tours and activities.

Ships have free morning exercise programs, stretching and walking, etc, and on some you can pay for other things like Spinning. All cruise ships have gyms so you can go workout, usually any time from 6:00 AM to late at night. There is usually a walking/running track on one of the decks also. Some ships leave the gym open all night. They call the gyms Spa because they do promote getting pampered with things like wraps and massages with aroma therapy. They will also generally have a beauty salon to do hair and nails.

There are always pools. Some ships have more than one and the newer ships generally have an indoor pool as well as outdoor ones and all of these have hot tubs. There is generally a basketball court on the top deck, a place for scuffle board, and a mini-golf course. The newer Royal Caribbean ships have a rock climbing wall and the newest one has a pool for water surfing.

There are places on ships to play cards and board games, and the cards and games are provided. If you want to just sit and read, there’s a library where you can bring your books or select one from the shelf. Ships have internet cafes and some offer WIFI if you bring your prefer to use your computer in your cabin (some ships offer notebooks for rent). There are cocktail lounges that feature a variety of music. Some have a piano bar with jazz. There is usually a disco that starts after 10:00 PM each night and last until everyone leave. On certain days ships will have special activities like a chocolate lovers buffet, or a midnight deck party .

You will stay busy, if you want, or you can just relax and do nothing.

You get on in Florida and take the ride to the Bahamas. Of course it brings you back to the same port in Florida that you started at!! Its a cruise like a big circle. A to B back to A. and sometimes there ar other stops in between. They give you time to get off and look around, etc. then get back on...all on the same ship.

Answer 7

You should talk to a travel agent. Check and see where your local one is... Maybe a AAA office, or a small office at the local mall.
Cruises can be wonderful fun, as long as you don't get motion sickness.

Answer 8

When you get to the bahamas the boat anchors in the middle of the ocean and debarkation begins. Everyone puts on their life jacket, grabs their suitcase and heads down to the boat exit. Once the boat door opens everyone jumbs in the ocean and uses their suitcases and life jackets as floation devices to get to shore. Once on shore...you wave to the boat as it leaves you on the deserted island and begin your vacation.

It's kind of like survivor, but you have suitcases and little chocolates to eat (they give you those on the boat). A week or so after being on the deserted island, the boat returns, and you swim back to it and get on. Finally, after 7 days of sun and no food--you get to eat.

All in all it's a wonderful experience and you make a lot of friends on the deserted island. If you don't like to "rought it" cruises aren't for you--hope I helped explain it clearly.

Answer 9

The cruise you are on takes you back to your dock(I haven't heard any different).

Answer 10

Yes they drop you off for however long then arrange to pick you back up at a certain time enjoy :)
