Another popular way of traveling is by cruise ship. To encourage bookings, many lines offer incentives for potential passengers. For those who don't live near a departure point, some lines include bus or air transport to the port as part of the package. A few cruises even include stopovers at Florida's Disney World. There is often no extra cost for small children who stay in their parents' stateroom.
Some ships offer child care, special activities, and recreational areas for youngsters.
An increasing number are adding facilities for the physically challenged, including wheelchair accessibility to cabins and corridors and the installation of ramps. Low fares are obtainable for those who book far in advance. Sometimes, if all cabins are not filled close to the sailing date, fares can be even lower for last-minute bookings. Another possibility for a lower fare comes when a passenger has already booked and a lower promotional rate is advertised before the sailing. The passenger is then refunded the difference.
