Now What?: After Your Cruise

So, your cruise is over, and you are finally off the ship, your home for the past week or so. It might take a little while to get used to the lack of constant movement again, but that will pass.

What may take a little longer to pass, however, is what is known as "frequent floaters disease" or "cruiseitis.". That is when you feel different than you used to feel. You have this intense craving. It really is an obsession. You talk about your cruise to everyone, thrive on other's cruise stories, and even get more cruise literature to start planning your next cruise!

It's very common, and the symptoms last only 2 or 3 weeks. Sooner or later you will get back to your normal self and start enjoying your usual enjoyments once more.

If you booked a post-cruise tour, or a special land package for after your ship, you will begin your tour when your cruise ends. In fact, you would probably be one of the first passengers allowed off the ship. Make sure you've had your breakfast onboard and are wearing comfortable walking shoes.

Many travel agents do a great deal of work to make sure your cruise is the best it could be. If you really enjoyed yourself, make sure to give him a thank you card or souvenir from your cruise. And always make sure to give feedback and opinions of the ship and your cruise to the travel agent.

And make sure to join the cruise line's repeat passenger club.

If you are particularly happy with your cruise or a crew member, please contact the cruise line itself to commend them and that crew member. Such letters do weigh heavily when it comes time for evaluations and possible promotions.

If your cruise was a complete disastrous experience, however, it might be best to go through your travel agent who might be able to get you some special discount or refund if necessary.

While you're talking with you travel agent about your experience, make sure he lets you know about future cruises or special deals or discounts on future cruises.

So, when you are ready to experience your next cruise, you now know what you will have to do after your cruise. The first thing you have to do before your cruise is book it right here! www.kingarthur.myttn.com
