Prince Cruise asked:


To many mothers, planning a birthday party can be very daunting. You need to have a theme and location in mind. These days, with birthday parties becoming more and more elaborate and different, why not do something different? Why not have the celebrations on a cruise? Everyone is sure to love the change and yes, they will enjoy themselves too.

If you’re an adult celebrating your birthday, one great birthday party idea if you are in Sydney is to book the Sydney Showboat. It’s also known as the “party boat” and is a good choice for an evening of fun with a dinner cruise thrown in with a three-course menu and a live international show.

Alternatively, you could choose a disco cruise as a Sydney Birthday Party Cruise, if you’re in London, UK. All you need to have is a group of six people and take a cruise down on the Thames, with lots of food and drink thrown in, not to forget the music. This Birthday Party Cruise sails down the Thames and has a DJ playing the latest music to put you into the party mood. And this includes enjoying a large buffet dinner which then goes on to non-stop partying, eating, drinking and dancing down the river.

Things can get slightly different if you’re taking a cruise with your family and celebrating one of your little kids’ birthday parties on board the cruise liner. For all of you, it’s a wonderful idea to celebrate the little one’s big day on a Birthday Party Cruise liner. But wait-first find out just how safe the ship is for little children.

For one, find out if they have day care facilities. If it does, it’s going to take the strain off you of looking after your kids-you can concentrate on enjoying yourself you’re your friends. Follow the steps given here and have a relaxing time cruising on your kid’s birthday. Here you go:

” Find out all you can about the Birthday Party Cruise liner you’re interested in. Ask if your friends who took the cruise you’re interested in have children who enjoyed themselves on the cruise?

” Ask if there are child care rooms and up to what age kids are allowed in here. How much does it cost to use a child care room? Should you book one in advance?

” Is the child care staff trained and are the children supervised? How are they kept busy? How many kids does each staff member look after?

” Is there any set check-in and pick-up procedure for kids in the child care room? Are they safe? Should children using this facility be potty-trained? Should they be vaccinated before they embark on this cruise?

If all your queries are answered satisfactorily, look beyond this and get cracking on the birthday celebrations. Remember, you’ve got a cake to think of, the other eats, games and take home gifts. What are you doing? Get up and get going. There’s not much you can get in the middle of the high seas-so go well prepared and have a good time.

SantiFFF asked:


I’m going with a couple friends to a cruise around the Caribbean and we are departing from Mexico. We have a little grass that we want to take on board but we don’t know how much security there is on normal 7 day - not too expensive cruises. Do they check you? Any personal experiences, feel free.

Li River Cruise asked:


Guilin … I have just arrived by aircraft and, I am able to be able to breathe!  Xi’an was impressive for the saga of the Terracotta Warriors etc. but it was extremely not easy to breathe … the climate in Xi’an plays a huge role in the air pollution, also I discovered a low count of trees, by watching, al ot of dust … we require trees replanted here (Xi’an) to hold down loose earth …



In Guilin though, I got to feel fresh air,  Lovable elderly ladies saying few words in English to put up for sale their fruits, books, post cards, and one lady was promotion aprons … it was difficult to continually say no, so i in the end bought a Guilin book with a 10 set of post cards for just 40 Rmb…what a bargain 40 divided by 7.5 … I paid ~ $5.33CAD … very inexpensive prices … your buck goes very far in China …

It was so wonderful cruising down the Li River .

Mulong Lake Park–A nice Pagoda in Guilin during an evening cruise!.. the hills were so splendid… this was the best part of touring in Guilin,  the cruise trip along the Li River … so peaceful, and fascinating… I took photos of women washing their clothes on the rocks along the Li River, women (with kids on their backs) reaching out with long sticks with nets at the end to capture fish, NO, to catch $$ from tourists passing by on the many ships travelling the Li River … the scenery along the Li River will eternally stay a highlight of Guilin; I can’t clarify it, but the sensation is incredible.  Next time I will stay for no less than a week!!!

At night I took a cruise down the Mulong Lake, right in Guilin  … one Pagoda stood out and was gaily lit; we passed through countless bridges that Guilin lights up specially for the cruises at nighttime.

I would recommend Li River Cruise to anyone who visits Guilin.

Smart Guide to World Cruise Ship asked:


The role of cruise ship injury lawyers is becoming very important nowadays, thanks to the traveling on cruise ships has become a popular way of vacation.

The popularity of cruise ship travel continues to grow steadily; it is the fastest growing segment of the travel industry in recent years, which make it also one of the world most popular pastimes leisure especially for the Americans.

Although the cruise ship travel remains one of the safest forms of transportation, as newer and bigger ships are built to carry more than 5,000 people, the safety concerns of passenger and crew members had also become first and foremost task.

When people plan a vacation they rarely anticipate being injured or victimized while on their trip. However, cruise ship incidents are common enough that cruise goers should be aware of their rights.

Passenger: If you were injured on a cruise ship, seek immediate legal advice from good and experienced cruise ship lawyers. This is the best way to determine what course to pursue and to protect your legal rights. Plus, a good lawyer may help you to obtain compensation for your injury.

Crew: An injured seaman is deserved to collect a claim after an accident, if a crew member can prove that the cruise line has failed to perform a reasonable act to prevent the injury by providing a “seaworthy” cruise ship.

There are crew members injured or killed due to cruise ship negligence. Inadequate maintenance and failure to inspect the property frequently contribute to the occurrence of serious injury and death.

Vacation on board a large resort cruise ship should be great fun, sun, games, entertainment, shopping, dining and sightseeing. But it is so sad when a dream vacation had came to a stop, due to dangerous conditions onboard, or excursions at ports of call causing tourists’ injury or death.

You must make your best effort to hire a good lawyer as soon as possible after the accident, in most cases, you will only have one year to file a lawsuit. Get a well referred lawyer by good people is always the best advice.

Most experienced cruise ship injury lawyers will want to investigate the facts of your case, before you bring the lawsuit.

On the other hand, the cruise lines often do their best to engage an injured passenger in negotiations in the hope of delaying a lawsuit beyond the one year period.

The time is short, if you or your loved one suffered a great injury aboard a cruise ship, first it is always wise to hire a lawyer fast who has experience in litigating against the cruise lines. Find a smart and aggressive cruise ship injury lawyer!

When an injured party tries to handle their own personal injury case without the help from a cruise ship injury lawyer, the insurance companies — both the Plaintiff’s and the responsible party’s — rejoice knowing that they hold the upper hand.

Insurance companies thrive on the fact that most people are lack of the resources and knowledge of the law and insurance coverage regulations, to fight with them for a fair financial settlement.

The insurance company is often offer a quick settlement for lower amount, counting on the injured person’s desire for a quick payout and lack of knowledge as to the value of their claim.

So get your cruise ship ticket, and call a cruise ship injury attorney today! It is very important to keep your ticket and bring it to your good quality lawyer. The backside of your ticket contains enforceable provisions regarding the handling of legal claims against the cruise line.

Maritime law falls under admiralty law, but cruise ships also have a contractual, state law and common law component best left to an experienced cruise ship injury lawyer to figure out at his or her fingertips. Most cruise ship lawsuits are filed in Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; and Seattle, Washington.

You can read a good article about working with good cruise ship lawyers at http://www.smart-guide-to-world-cruise-ship.com/cruise-ship-injury-lawyers.html to understand better.

duffyj83 asked:


I want to avoid flying. Are there any cruises that exist that let you depart and return to the, let’s say, East Coast? I have only found a few that depart from the East Coast period, and all of them are “one-way” and would result in me buying a plane ticket from Europe back to the US…

Helen Hecker asked:


If you’re planning to take a cruise you want to make sure you get the best cruise deal bargain offered. And there are many ways to save a bunch of money on your next cruise if you know what to do. It isn’t hard to learn the secrets travel agents know when you’re looking for the best cruise deal. You can save as much as 65% scouting on your own or from 15-30% from the cruise line brokers and the cruise consolidators as they’re called.

There are many sites that offer clearance specials and last minute cruise deals. Then there are the possibly cheaper but much riskier last minute cruise auctions and classifieds which I won’t go into here. The last minute cruise deals are not hard to find because the cruise lines don’t want to have any empty cabins when they leave port and they make every effort to fill them.

Note that the offers you find on the cruise line sites are NOT going to be as good as those you find elsewhere or from cruise line brokers or the consolidators. So make sure you go to the other sites. Of course you can compare the prices you find with the cruise line’s site.

First of all to get the best cruise deal online you want to look for cruise sites that use the Revelex or OVS cruise reservation systems. This way you can easily compare prices on staterooms for many of the cruise ships at one time. Some of these sites have time limits on their offers so be ready but don’t buy on impulse either. Last minute deals can save you a bundle.

Once you find what you think is a bargain or a good deal you can contact your local cruise travel agent and see if they can meet it or beat it. Some of the cruise lines forbid travel agents to discount their cruises but it doesn’t mean the agents don’t know about already-discounted cruises.

Once you’ve found some good travel websites, sign up for their email alerts so you’ll get fast notice on last minute cruise deals, package deals or clearance cruise deals or any other special offers that might be floating around out there. Sign up at several sites because you want the ones that are going to email you soon and often with the alerts and some of them may be too slow.

You can ask for a discount even on the final price for any cruise. Ask if they have a senior discount, business discount, student discount, health professional discount or AARP discount or AAA for example. There are also resident discounts or special offers if you live in a particular state.

Make sure to visit several sites and compare, don’t just settle on the first one No matter what low rate you find keep searching for a lower rate. The sites that compare several cruise lines at once will often bring up comparisons that make it easy for you to find the best rate.

You want to compare the cruise lines, cruise ships and the itineraries besides the price. You’re looking for a bargain - the cheapest cruise rates. Make sure to read the fine print on any site so there are no surprises later. It’s absolutely necessary.

Remember that some offers may be for the second-rate cabins. This means the cabins that are near noisy service doors or elevators or under the ballroom floor or near children’s activity areas. You don’t want to find out later that the reason your cabin was cheap was due to the location on the ship. Be aware that the last minute cruise deals or clearance cruise specials may be non-refundable. Read the contract closely.

It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a Carnival cruise deal, Disney cruise deal. Royal Caribbean cruise deal, Crystal cruise deal or any other cruise line, or if you and a partner and/or your family plan to go to Mexico, the Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii or the Bahamas or cruise with celebrities; if you spend a little extra time learning the ropes you’ll not only save yourself a lot of money but you’ll get the best cruise deal online.

I’m planning on doing a cruise in Europe but when I did my research it seems like all cruises stay a few hours-just 1 day in each port. Does anyone know of any cruises that stay at least 2 days or more in each ports? Thanks
Thanks for the info.
