That's the most unforgettable expe
rience of a lifetime?
You can get a lot of argument on
that question, but not from the growing
band of people who have taken an ocean
cruise. To them, nothing can match the
romance, adventure, and enchantment of
a cruise. It's an elixir compounded of
sun-drenched days and moon-splashed
nights and, once tasted, you hasten to
indulge again as soon as you dare.
On the practical side and it's hard to
be practical when talking about cruises
here are some advantages of taking a
steamship voyage:
1. Your expenses are fixed, so you can
budget your trip accurately. No need to
worry about running out of money when
you take a cruise.
2. You don't have to live out of a suitcase,
and there's no problem of packing and

unpacking. Since your stateroom is your
home, you can take as much or as little
luggage as you like.
3. A cruise is restful. There are plenty of
things to do, but you set your own pace.
4. You have a gourmet's choice of food,
even while visiting the most remote areas
of the globe.
5. Shipboard recreation and entertain
ment are virtually unlimited. You can
swim, dance, play shuffleboard, or just
lie back and watch the gulls.
6. You stop at many interesting ports. Even
within one area such as the Caribbean, a
cruise will include diversified sight-seeing,
ranging from Havana's blend of Old Spain
and Parisian gaiety to Curacao's bit of
Holland or Barbados' breath of Britain.
7. You'll make friends easily since in
formality is the order. Shipboard friend
ships are lasting, too. Many lines have
annual reunions for cruise "alumni."
Now that you're sold on taking a cruise,
here's how to pick the right one for you.
First, match up the time you can be
away, the money you have to spend, and
the places you'd like to visit. Then consult
your travel agent and let him show you
folders on all the cruises that come within
your limitations.
Try to analyze your personal prefer
ences in relation to the choice of offerings.
Do you like a gay atmosphere with a
large crowd? Or do you prefer something
more intimate and restrained? Be sure
to find out about the ship itself, as well
as where it goes.
Do you like French food? Italian fare?
Smorgasbord? The vessels of each nation
ality feature their own specialties.
If you're interested in buying foreign
goods such as lace, leather, antiques, or
photographic equipment, check to make
sure your cruise will stop in a free port
where prices are lowest. .
Shipboard fun, then new adventures in port.
Read the cruise literature carefully.
Many cruises seem almost identical, but
the time spent in different ports varies
considerably, as does the choice of shore
excursions. Also, some cruises offer an
opportunity to leave the ship to visit
attractions in the interior and rejoin it
at a later port of call.
Finally, make your reservations early.
Experienced travelers plan their trips
many months ahead; consequently most
of the choice cruises are sold out well
in advance of the sailing date.
Now, bon voyage. But don't say you
weren't warned that cruise-taking is an
infectious habit to acquire.
