A cruise is one of the most convenient and exciting holidays that you can take. From the vast array of activities to the exciting and varied ports, there is something interesting happening day and night.

And, the more you cruise, the better it gets because you figure out things that make the experience even more enjoyable. On my last cruise, I asked cruise veterans - travellers who have sailed on many ships over the years - to tell me their cruise secrets. Here are their tips.

When you think of a cruise, many destinations may come to mind including the Caribbean and Alaska. But there are less obvious choices for cruise destinations, even where cruising just might be your better option overall for a few reasons including the bang for your buck that cruising provides; the variety of places you can visit instead of being stuck in just one; and the very special bonus of unpacking only once. Here are 7 destinations you’d never think to experience on a cruise.

If you are suffering from the winter blues, the surefire cure for the blahs is a big dose of spring, as in Spring Break, baby.

Are you planning a honeymoon on a budget? If you’re looking to get one of the best vacation values for your hard earned money - without getting stuck in a  destination that doesn’t float your boat, or that turns into a money grab of extra fees for this and that - then, this is exactly why cruising is the answer to your honeymoon dreams!

What’s up in Bermuda? You may be thinking bright plaid shorts and tony golf courses. In spite of the questionable fashion, there is something spectacular to be said about the island’s famous rolling greens. But that’s only scratching the surface of the amazing activities available throughout Bermuda, especially when you consider that Norwegian Cruise Lines offers a convenient seven-day Bermuda itinerary, with three full days in port to thoroughly explore.

Imagine this: A husband and wife are renewing their vows in front of an endless aquamarine sea. Their closest family and friends huddle close together. After the magic moment of “I dos” and congratulatory hugs, it’s time to celebrate: A day in Barcelona, followed by another in Cannes, and another in Rome, followed by Florence, and so on.

And if you were imagining this was a scene from an extravagant celebrity nuptial affair, think again. This fantasy scene could be you, or anyone in your everyday world, and, should you choose, anywhere in the world. With Norwegian Cruise Line, renewing your vows at sea is easily arranged, and it's also the ideal way to celebrate your honeymoon.
