If you have actually been on a cruise ship before, then you know that they can be a fantastic experience. An all-inclusive, all-in-one-place holiday, what could possibly be bad about that? Today there are even bigger and better attractions and entertainment available on cruises, truly giving people a unique and relaxing trip on the ocean. However, advertisements can often be somewhat deceptive… We are not denying the fact that some cruise ships are truly massive, and provide luxury services and experiences that go way beyond what you can imagine! But not all cruise ships are created equally. Some can be quite small. Others don’t live up to the standards we imagine for these holidays. Even worse, some cruises offer very little entertainment onboard, leaving you quite literally stranded. Read on to manage your expectations, and find out the truth about going cruising.
All Aboard! – What We Think It’s Like
This is where all the excitement begins. You have everything packed in your suitcase, you have made the journey from your home to the ship, and bleary-eyed (if it was an early morning leaving time), you see the ship in all its glory, just waiting for you. The towering, calm giant of entertainment and adventure. All there is left to do is walk on up there, go up some stairs, give a person your ticket, and it all begins, right?

All Aboard! – What It’s Really Like
Well, maybe not. Although that all sounded really nice and dreamy, not to mention quick and painless, in reality, there is usually at least an hour-long wait where all you can do is stare at the ship, willing the line to get shorter, and for your holiday to begin. These lines are often quite disorderly, with people and their bags strewn everywhere. You are generally forced to stand outside, whether it be rain or shine, and it can take a while to board. So you are left waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
