Just looking for the average cost on a RC cruise to the Bahamas for 2 people.


Answer
You can take a short cruise to the Bahamas from Miami or Ft Lauderdale for between $200 and $300 per person, depending upon when you go and what type cabin you select. The lowest prices will be for an inside cabin and you'll pay progressively more for an outside, balcony or suite.

Here are some examples: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/search/vacationSearchResult.do?pagename=homepage_redesign_hasbooking_us&actionType=&cruiseType=CO&includeAdjascentPorts=Y&eventSource=dest&dest=BAHAM&date=&port=FLL&port=MIA&ship=

Now remember the prices shown are PER PERSON and don't include air fare or transportation to the departure port. And while the price includes your cabin, all the food you can eat, all entertainment on ship, and free use of all facilities like the pools, gym, and hot tubs, there will be some additional expenses. You'll have to pay gratuities of $11.65 per person per day to cover the cabin steward, and wait staff. You have to buy any drinks (soft drinks and alcoholic) you want; you have to pay for any tours you want to take (not required to take any; can get off the ship on your own if you want); You have to pay to use the internet, pay for any photos they ship takes of you, and pay for spa services if you want them. The only one of the above that is not strictly optional is the gratuities. So add about $23. per day to any type cabin you select.

What is there to do on a cruise if you are not a drinker?

We are Christians and we do not drink. Is their any thing for us to do on the ship?


Answer
There will be plenty for you to do and you can do as much as you want or just relax and watch the ocean go by or the other people. Each day of your cruise you will receive in your cabin a newsletter type flier that will detail everything that will be happening on ship the next day, details by time and location so you can decide what you want to do the next day. So you can be as busy or as relaxed as you want to be. There will be something going on from early mornings, like organized exercise programs, lectures and seminars, bingo, cooking demonstrations, until late at night when the disco is going and the lounges are busy. The ship has a cruise director whose job is to see that passengers have a great time and that person will provide heads ups on things happening the next day and that information will be repeated on the TV set in your cabin.

The things that you can do on ship will vary by the cruise line and the ship can make a difference in how much there is to do. Many of the newer ships of all of the cruise lines have more activities than there are on the older ships. Older ships would in general be those launched before about 2000. The types and number of activities also varies by cruise line with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line having by far THE most activities.

Things that may be available to do on cruises, depending upon the ship:

- use the pools, hot tubs and water slides

use the full service gymnasium with all types of free weights and exercise machines

use the full service spa where you can get hair and nails done and massages and wraps, use the sauna and/or steam rooms

- use the mini-golf course and/or a golf driving range or golf simulator

- use the roller blade track and/or an ice skating rink. If there is an ice rink there will be an ice show like the ice capades

- use the rock climbing wall, the full sized basketball/volleyball/tennis court, play table tennis

-use the over sized Chess/Checker sets and shuffle board

- use the walking/ jogging track

- play in the video arcade

- go to the show room where there will be a show every evening, one for each dinner seating

- use the game room with games and cards provided

- use the internet cafe

- use the library with books provided or bring your own

- go to the disco that is open every night starting about 11:00 PM and lasting until

- go to the piano bar and a sports bar; all ships will have lounges and cocktails bars at various places on ship

- some ships have a small movie theater and you can also watch movies (most for free) in your cabin. Some cruise lines have movies under the stars (outdoors by the pool at night).

- go to the casino for gambling if you are old enough (18 is old enough on some cruise lines)

- enjoy a huge variety of food

- sit on a deck or your cabin's balcony and watch the ocean go by.

- go to art auctions, go to lectures and learning seminars on some ships

- go to the Karaoke bar

- go to the wine tasting if you are old enough

- shop for souvenirs

There may even be a few others things that I have not listed. Some are for adults only and some are for kids only. Remember that not all ships have all of these things. Some may have only a few. If you want a lot of activities on ship then select an Oasis Class, Freedom Class, or Voyager Class Royal Caribbean ship. Those ship have the most activities on board of any cruise line. Take a look at this web link: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/home.do;jsessionid=0000sFz1antl0wVYkFupGvUR5iT:12hdhu6tq?cS=NAVBAR

Then you can add to these activities the things that will be available in the ports that your cruise ship stops at, and that can be a wealth of things from beach activities to touring historical and scenic sites.
