The site design offered by Cruise Direct is pretty good. I say “pretty good” and not great because, well, it’s just a little bit generic. That being said, it does offer a fairly intuitive user experience. From the moment that you land on the homepage, you can start searching and browsing cruises with no trouble. Just select your desired destination, departure port, month, trip length, and cruise line to see all of your available options.
Once you are brought to the search results page, unfortunately, the site design doesn’t become more impressive. Each listing comes with a sprawling chart of all prices and room types available for each cruise that meets your criteria. For the sake of browsing, though, it would make more sense to me if these options were saved for a 3rd page, and the search results would be all that you have to worry about browsing through at first. The end result is a site design that is cluttered and inconvenient – be prepared to do a lot of scrolling up and down to browse multiple cruises.
