Imagine finding Broadway shows, elegant restaurants, international shopping, nightclubs, health clubs and even casinos just steps from your own private room. Include a cruise in your reunion, meeting or convention and make it the most unforgettable event ever. A cruise has something for everyone with entertainment and activities around the clock. There are cartoon characters for the kids, get-togethers for singles, bragging parties for grandparents, celebrations for honeymooners and state or the arts meeting facilities for those who want to combine work and play. There’s more to a cruise than ports. There are round the clock activities from A (aerobics) to ZZZ, which you get in a deck chair. Bridge tours, cooking classes, captain’s parties, craft and dance instruction, movies, live music, novel reading (closely followed by nodding off), quiet strolls, romantic encounters, skeet shooting and those all time favorites: eating and shopping. All of this except shopping, is included in the price of the cruise. Also not included: liquor, gambling, tips and shore excursions.

All meals are included from breakfast in bed (for the romantics or the too tired to get up) to midnight buffets. And most ships now offer round the clock dining for those who don’t know when they want to eat. And of course, there’s always room service! Unpack once and relax. Cruising is the best vacation value, with vacations to match every pocketbook. No hotels, restaurants, or travel reservations to make. It’s all included in your one low cruise price. You know what it will cost before you go. Entertainment ranges from Broadway-style musicals to Vegas-style Nightclub Revues and specialty performers. There are Big Band Cruises, Sports Celebrity, Lectures Series, even College Credit cruises. Most ships have lavish facilities for active passengers. For fitness buffs, glass walled health centers and spas overlook the sea offer the latest high tech exercise equipment and treatment. Ships feature basketball, volleyball, badminton and paddle tennis. The Sea Princess cruise ship has a computerized virtual golf center that allows you  to "play" some well known courses. Catch a movie at their swim-in theater. Royal Caribbean's new ships offer golf, rock climbing, ice skating and ice hockey.  What's next? "Bungee Jumping off the deck of  RCCL's "Voyager of the Seas".
