8 Reasons to Try an Ocean Cruise Instead of Going Back to the Beach

The beach is a classic vacation spot, and with good reason. Sand, sun, and relaxation - what else could you need? While the beach is always a great place to go, read on to discover why a cruise might be a good fit for your next vacation.

The beach is a classic vacation spot, and with good reason. Sand, sun, and relaxation - what else could you need? While the beach is always a great place to go, read on to discover why a cruise might be a good fit for your next vacation.

  1. You get to go to several different beaches! A cruise ship takes you to a different beach at every port instead of staying at the same beach your whole trip. You’ll never get tired of the same view when it’s always changing!

  2. There’s always something to do on the ship! Disney cruise ships have so much to do - character meet and greets, Marvel Day at Sea, Star Wars Day at Sea, fireworks, water slides, and so much more! Don’t want to do a Disney cruise? No problem! Royal Caribbean ships are called “the fun ships” for a reason. Rock walls, ice skating rinks, water slides, pools, casinos, and more - the possibilities are endless!

  3. There’s something for everyone! Have kids? Royal Caribbean and Disney have free programs for kids from 3-17, and paid programs (on most ships) for babies and toddlers aged 6-36 months. The programs are split up by age, and there are endless activities kids can choose to do. With your kids in good hands, that leaves plenty of time for you to lounge at the adults-only pool and relax!

  4. Your food is included and unlimited! It’s the perfect place to try new foods! Don’t love it? Get something else for no extra charge! Can’t decide between two desserts? Get both! Craving a midnight snack? Pizza, sandwiches, and cookies are available 24/7!

  5. Ships can seek the best weather! While it’s not the best idea to go to most beaches during hurricane season, cruises are able to reroute to avoid bad weather. Even if it does rain, the ship is moving through it so it rarely lasts long!

  6. Watch a movie on the ocean under the stars! Lounge on the pool deck lit by the moon, and enjoy a movie on a 220 foot screen on Royal Caribbean ships!

  7. Spa onboard! Need a massage? Manicure? Hair cut or updo? Facial? Royal Caribbean and Disney ships both have you covered! There’s also a youth Spa on both cruise lines if your teen wants a manicure or facial!

  8. Entertainment offered every night! Comedians, ice skating shows, dive shows, and game shows are just some of the things you can see and do at night on Royal Caribbean! Plus, Royal Caribbean is the only cruise line to offer Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals on most ships! Disney’s cruise ships feature live shows based on award-winning Disney movies like Aladdin, Frozen, and Beauty and the Beast. Disney cruises also offer fun nights with characters and family, including the popular Pirate Night!
