Cruises and Ocean Liners

There are no cruises on the major cruises lines that simply sail from Miami to San Juan and back. There are many that leave Miami that stop in San Juan. Per the discussion, the original poster wanted to know about direct sailings, staying for two weeks in Puerto Rico and then sailing back to Miami. There are no such commercial offerings. You could possibly charter a boat on your own. ...

Yes, unless you are a US citizen and this is a closed-loop cruise. From the getyouhome.gov website: U.S. citizens who board a cruise ship at a port within the United States, travel only within the Western Hemisphere, and return to the same U.S. port on the same ship may present a government issued photo identification, along with proof of citizenship (an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular report of Birth Abroad, or a Certificate of Naturalization).

It depends on what you want for the best time- best time to get the best deal or the best time to go period. It also depends on what you are looking for as far as your cruise. If you are someone who doesn't want to go when a ship may have a lot of children or if you are hoping to go in a less crowded time. It really depends on what you are looking for. There is hurricane season...

Yes.

Sailboats have the tendency to Capsize and Swamp.

The MS Oasis of the Seas is larger than the RMS Titanic. While the Titanic was considered the largest ship of it's time, it would be dwarfed in comparison to today's ocean cruise liners. The Titanic was approx. 46,000 tons -- less than half the gross tonnage of the Oasis of the Seas. Surreyfan ...

MOST meals are included in your cruise vacation. The 'main' dining rooms, room service, and the buffet are generally included. Your ship may offer 'specialty' or 'alternative' dining options, which are available for a small cover charge. Think of this as an upgrade to your cruise, where you can get a 5-course dinner with a 48 oz. Porterhouse for just $20 (for example). Rservations are generally required. Meals that you would be eating on shore where the port of call would be taking...

Cheapest time for Caribbean cruises The least expensive cruise fares can generally be found for sailings which occur during the period between Labor Day and Thanksgiving and between Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, any time most kids are in school is likely to be less expensive than other times of the year. Despite the hurricane season, summer is NOT the best time since kids are out of school and it's prime vacation time. After Labor Day, the kids are back in school, demand drops...

During the winter.

It takes approximately two weeks to travel from England to America by ship. ...

First of all, the cheapest cruise is not necessarily the one you want to buy. The most expensive cruise you will ever take, is the one you paid for, but, did not enjoy. Aside from that.... which of you know why the same cabin in three different locations on the same ship can cost $ 699.00, $999.00, or 1,049.00 ? When you can answer that, and a dozen more little questions like it, maybe then you can feel comfortable booking a cruise yourself through...

FAQ Farmers have identified these My grandfather was on board the the Carpathia. His name was Arthur Vale and he was a stoker. My grandmother, Anna Oberg, immigrated to the US from Sweden and was on the Carpathia when it picked up the Titanic survivors in 1912. However, I cannot find any historical documentation showing the names of passengers originally on the Carpathia on that trip as opposed to the manifests created later to document the Titanic survivors. I've done a family geneology on...

With the arrival of a few new ships in the Caribbean, (ALLURE & EPIC)I think you'll find cruise lines scrambling to fill an extra say... 10,000 berths a week. This can work to your advantage. The operative word here is "competent". The mix of cabins the cruise line is trying to fill at "fire sale" rates is varied. The right person will have access to "FLASH" (unadvertised specials) and understand the relationship between the cabins location and it's price and can advise...

Probably not. The boat is humongous, so you'd need a really big line to catch anything. Plus, i think it's a safety issue to fish. ...
