How to avoid hidden traps in the sea cruise
Similarly, hotels, cruises can be divided into various categories or, in other words, determine their number of stars. And in the same way as the hotel takes place, between these categories there are decisive differences in the level of service and services that can be expected on board.
- Liner and big hotel-feel the difference
But at the same time, the difference between the cruise liner and the hotel on the shore is simply huge: in the walls of the hotel you do not spend most of your vacation. And on a cruise liner, your stay on board is interrupted only by excursions and shores.
So, try to figure out which traps and pitfalls can wait a potential traveler when ordering a cruise.
