By Darren Takenaga
At first glance, it would seem that someone planning a vacation could simply make a phone call and book a line package. However, after a few minutes, one will come to realize that there are numerous lines, destinations, and packages.

Important questions that need to be answered about cruises and lines include -

cruise lines may cater to the young partying crowd. And yet, other lines wish to attract and entertain the family vacationers.

One of the more important choices is the type of lines. Ships vary in style and amenities and can be compared to the range and class of hotels. For example, hotels are commonly rated as a “one star” (typically a basic budget) all the way to “five star” (luxury high class and expensive)

Size of Lines

Yes, size does matter. Small ships are able to travel to destinations that the big ships cannot. Small ships can be more intimate with small crowds, lines, and activity. However, the big ships are floating resorts. One can find activities and services to pamper and luxuriate without leaving the ship.

Below are some of the common terms that describe the various sizes of ships.

Megaliner – more than 2,000 passengers

Superliner – between 1,000 to 2,000

Midsize – passenger capacity of 400 to 1,000

Small Ship – passenger capacity under 400

Boutique Ship – passenger capacity under 300 and popular for luxury cruise

A good place to start when investigating the choices among the lines is to request a brochure from each line. It may not be very detailed. However, the brochure will inform the traveler the important facts and information needed to choose a line.

I realize that this information on cruises and line is very brief. However, I have tried to present the important questions the beginner and even the advanced traveler should answer if they want to experience a hassle-free and memorable cruise.
