replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A1: Options. Cruising isn't one thing - you can cruise to relax, explore, mingle, party, etc. No matter the reason, the value prop is incredible and it's far less work then other methods of travel. #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A1: I love the sea, my wife and I love beaches. I enjoy getting a taste of different destinations with each trip. There is nothing better than sea days, but a great beach and a cold drink are a very close second. #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A2: Not sure I have a dream destination. I think the next destination is my dream destination. If I had to pick one it would be Alaska as I haven’t been there yet. #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels Just wondering what my granddaughter is thinking. #cruisechat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A3: This goes back to Q2. My parents did Alaska and said the land and seas was amazing. It will be one of our trips in the near future. #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A5: Make or verify any special requests (such as a private table for dinner). This gives the crew plenty of time to make any adjustments that help ensure you have a great vacation. It's on our list of the 12 things to do on embarkation day. #CruiseChat https://t.co/hBx9hHTAXZ

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A5: Get something frozen and celebratory. It’s vacation. Time to start the celebration. 🍹#CruiseChat

replying to @CruiseHabit @CruiseHabit @SimonTravels On our last cruise we made reservations for the specialty restaurants we wanted online prior to boarding. I try to get as much as booked prior to leaving. #CruiseChat

CruiseHabit

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A6: A tropical drink - regardless of itinerary. We run on Islay scotch, so the only time we drink anything else is while cruising - and few things feel as "cruise" as a hurricane glass full of Planter's Punch. #CruiseChat

A4: why I love to cruise #CruiseChat

CruiseHabit

replying to @PlunderTheSeas @PlunderTheSeas @SimonTravels Booking ahead is good - but certain things just require verification, like private tables, special orders for specific spirits, etc. Things that sometimes can't easily be fixed once the cruise really starts. #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A9: Not sure I need more experiences at sea. I’m old and crusty at this point. I don’t need go carts or bumper cars. I want access to view the ocean. Our last two cruises have been smaller ships. Both had 2,000 passengers or so. 10 days on a smaller ship was amazing #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A9: Ready for an odd and specific one? Good bagels. For some reason even on up-market lines it seems impossible to get good bagels. #CruiseChat

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels I’ve only sailed with Carnival and they have been super accommodating to me and the family, including the two granddaughters. #cruisechat

Thanks so much for joining us for today’s #CruiseChat! Such a fun conversation about #cruise love!

PlunderTheSeas

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A10: I think most lines do an amazing job of catering to the guest experience. We make our own fun on board and appreciate being able to do so. #CruiseChat

SimonTravels

We’ll see you back here next Tuesday at 2 pm ET for another #CruiseChat!

SimonTravels

Thanks again for joining us. Bye! #CruiseChat

CruiseHabit

replying to @SimonTravels @SimonTravels A10: Much like I don't think there is a"best" cruise line, i don't think I have a favorite. It depends on the kind of trip I want to take. What I will say is that the lines that stand out to me, do so because they make everything easy. https://t.co/9YVYZgkcQJ #CruiseChat
