Choosing a cruise for your bachelor’s day is a great way to entertain guests. However, if you are booking a cruise for the first time, it can be overwhelming as there are so many different options. But here are a few tips to help you out.
Budget: Booking in advance can have tremendous benefits. Early bird rates are available for group cruises along specific routes. Based on your budget, you can choose from a range of staterooms and cabins and find day cruises or cruises that last for a week or more. We recommend planning your budget well in advance and finding a cruise that fits in that range. You can choose to do your booking 30-60 days in advance of your trip. There are advantages to this as well as you may get last-minute discounts or promotional deals for groups. Use a booking website to find deals at affordable rates. Even if you are booking in advance, check rates regularly as price drops may occur resulting in a larger budget for your bucks cruise.
Food: All cruises offer a range of restaurants and bars with a variety of cuisines. Some of the top cruise lines also hire world-class chefs to create custom menus, food festivals, and theme buffets for guests. We recommend you compare features and menus before you choose a cruise. However, a word of caution. Some cruises do not offer food as a part of the package, while others include breakfast and dinner but allow you to buy lunch a-la-carte from shore restaurants or from their onboard restaurants. If you are choosing a short-term cruise, it’s a far better idea to book an all-inclusive cruise.
Ship size and crowd: Depending on the ship size, the onboard crowd may vary from 200 — 7000 passengers and crew. For a day cruise or a bucks cruise, it’s a good idea to choose a smaller ship that offers an all-inclusive deal. However, the smaller the ship, the higher the price tag as these are usually luxury vehicles that cater to a small but exclusive passenger list. Of course, based on the passenger list, the features offered by the ship will also vary.
We hope these few tips have helped you find a cruise that suits your needs. You can also get in touch with a local tour agent to find a bucks cruise that is perfect for your big day.
