Cruising is remarkably affordable. Transfers from airport to ship and from ship to airport. Special children's menus are available if you are cruising with a child.
Many ships also have afternoon snacks or traditional high teas.
24-hour Room service on many ships. Some new ships are adding 24-hour pizzerias. Supervised children's activities offered on a daily basis. Good to know if you are bringing along a child. All entertainment, including Broadway and Las Vegas-style shows, lounges, nightclubs, movies, dancing and more.
