Before you set sail on a cruise vacation, it may help to heed a few tips from the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) to help ensure your vacation dreams stay afloat:
? Find out what documentation you need. Most international travel, now or soon, will require a valid passport, so it's important to plan ahead. Allow time for your passport application to be processed and be sure to include the cost of acquiring a passport in your travel budget. For more information, visit http://travel.state.gov/.
? Choose your cabin wisely. Because of lifeboats and other safety features, most ships have several cabins with obstructed views. If you book a cabin with a window, consult your travel agent about your view.
? Use a trusted travel agent. A cruise specialist can help you find the best travel deals and provide guidance with everything from ports of call to activities at sea and on land.
