If you have never cruised before, imagine being pampered at a luxurious resort and waking up each morning to a brand new, stunning view of the world.
But your first cruise can be a little confusing, and you may not know what to expect or what to do. You could spend much of your vacation just figuring out how the cruise vacation works. Do not waste a moment of your precious vacation time if you want to take the plunge and go on your first cruise.
