Who cruises these days?

Today cruising is for everyone who can afford a cruise. I clarify because short of being able to pay for a cruise there is no reason every personality can’t find a cruise that suits them. Cruises can be for small groups or large groups where you just blend with the crowd.

I personally enjoy the venues offered by the large ships but also really like the cozy feeling of smaller ships with fewer passengers.  Cruises for me can be all about being active or relaxing depending on what else is going on at the time. Thus like me depending on what experience someone wants out of their vacation time different cruises may fit the same folks at different time.

As I said there are cruises for nearly everyone. In fact there are even cruises for folks with specific medical needs. In these cases specialized medical staff travels with the cruisers who are suffering from the medical conditions.  In these instances a “regular” cruise is transformed for the ill. Generally though, it is a function of the medical team picking the cruise and advertising it to this unique passenger population.  There are even cruises put on for Make A Wish families where a cruise was requested. Specifically Royal Caribbean is one cruise line that specifically supports the Make A Wish Foundation both raising funds and helping ensure those families cruise.

Cruises take place from departure ports and to destinations around the world. Thus , those looking for a big adventure to specific areas of the world are typically able to get such a cruise by consulting with a knowledgeable cruise agent, such as Brooks Cruise Services.  Such an agency knows how to pair up what a specific cruiser wants out of a cruise to the cruise that best fits their needs. It is this specialized cruise knowledge that allows a cruise agent to help everyone cruise.

There are 3 night cruises to the Bahamas over the weekend which are well suited to the crowd who wants to party. On the opposite end of the cruise spectrum an around the world cruise is a great option for those financially well off, retired or otherwise who have tons of time on their hands and a sense of adventure towards seeing many new places or revisiting places they have seen over the years.  In between there are cruises for adventure and cruises for relaxing and cruises where it can be considered one big party. It is a function of the ship and destination that can make the difference.
