If you’ve never set sail, you might have some questions. Let CheapTickets answer some of the most commonly asked questions:Cheap Cruise

What does my cruise fare include?
In most cases, your cruise fare will include your room, meals in the buffet restaurants and main dining room, most entertainment, and 24-hour room service. It does not include discretionary items such as specialty restaurants, organized shore excursions, alcoholic beverages, gratuities, spa treatments, medical services, casino expenditures, or other miscellaneous items.

What type of clothes should I pack for my cruise?

For international cruises, keep in mind that some shore excursions to shrines or religious sites require a more conservative dress code. Continue reading
