1. Cruise Planning Checklist.
   • Create a list of travelling agencies that offer tours. You can use Internet. A planner software will be helpful for you to organize your effort and create cruise planning timelines.
   • Figure out how much money you are ready to spend on a cruise. Do not look at cruise travelling offers that you cannot afford. Always be realistic to consider your financial limitations.
   • Compare cruise lines. Take several affordable tours and compare them with each other in order to determine which one is likely to bring you the most wonderful travelling opportunities.
   • Book in advance. Book your cruise selecting multiple options for your cabin choice.
   • At least one week before your departure, tell your friends/relatives how to reach you on the ship by phone, fax or email.
