There are a couple of computer games that I have played recently that have led me to seriously think about going on one of those brilliant luxury cruises I have heard so much about.
Cruise ship Tyccon is the first and most obvious on the list
This game is the most realistic game that inspired me to look into going on a cruise holiday. Basically all you have to do is run a cruise ship for yourself. This game lets you go to anyplace on the ship from the casino right the way to the captains quarters. This is brilliant as in the ships featured in the game are all based on real ships which makes it perfect as you can see exactly what you can do on a ship without even having to visit a travel agent or website. You also get to see how hard it is to keep the ship running which although unnecessary for people on the actual holiday I thought it was very interesting to see myself.
Splinter Cell Double Agent is next on the list
Quite a surprising one here as the point of this mission in the game is to actually plant a bomb on the ship but don’t worry its all to do with terrorists and what not. When I was playing this game it is safe to say the graphics are so good I didn’t even need to go and look at a website to see what a luxury ship looked like which is one of the reason this game is on the list. This level is great as you are not restricted on where you can go on the ship so you can fully explore and see the detail that went into the game as again it was based on a real luxury cruise ship.
Mario Kart- Yea I know, how on earth
This is rather crazy I know but there is a level in the game that you get to drive around on a luxury cruise ship and no it doesn’t matter that it is Princess Daisy’s ship and not a real thing it still shows how big one of these ships are? Well in all honesty you could if there wasn’t anyone onboard which is the case in this game.
So there you have it and it gets even better as I am actually going to book a holiday with Regent Cruises today so all I can say is thank you gaming!
After recently going on one of those fancy luxury cruises myself I have come to the conclusion that going on one is simply one of the best things you could possibly do with your money. Why? The main reason behind this is that a cruise like this one not only provides everything you would expect to find on a normal holiday but adds to that on a stupidly large scale which is brilliant.
Nowhere else in the entire world are you going to find giant luxury suites with butler services, spas and training areas as well as a giant swimming pool, restaurent and bars and karoke. I could not believe how many different activites are available one one of these ships, it really is limitless to the things you can do when en-route to the next destination. I myself went to one of the educational talks on the destination that we were heading to next and it is fascinating to hear all about it before you actually get there so at least you feel slightly knowledgeable rather than turning up completely oblivious to the culture.
When I was aboard I most certainly did not think the food would match that of my America visits but my word did it, and it went down very well with a dinner time show.
You can literally go to any destination in the world now as over the past decade or so the places in which cruise liners are going to has grown immensley ranging from Africa to the Antarctic which I think is brilliant for everyone who has always wanted to see the waters around these areas as well as see the towns and cities within them.
So save up those wages and go on a luxury cruise holiday like me and if you want advice on which one is the best to go on as there are literally hundreds all I can say is that Regent Cruises was simply fantastic an I would recommend to anyone thinking of going on a holiday like this.
I have come to the conclusion that going on one of those great luxury cruise ships is actually worth all the money as well as being a lot better than taking a plane there. Could it really be better than flying?
No hassle arriving fifty hours before so your bags can be checked, that is done quickly which is great you wont need to get up that early to get there as its all a lot quicker. As well as this there is no waiting to get to your destination as essentially as soon as you board the ship you are at your hotel room and can lie down and rest or jump straight into the pool.
There are also casinos, free room service, and bars to go to as soon as you step foot onto the ship. Free drinks are only available on planes if you are travelling long haul with one of the expensive airlines like BA or Virgin.
The best thing about it is you actually get to have legroom which is great compared to a plane! Welcome to a way of travelling without being squashed in for however many hours, go anywhere on the ship you can even take a jog on the jogging track.
Of course if something does happen all you have to do is get into a lifeboat rather than jump down a huge inflatable slide or worse die on impact. No real threat from terrorism on a cruise ship, not at the moment anyway! All you really need to worry about are pirates and that is only if you are near the pirate zones.
There is of course always the possibilty that a storm will occur and if that happens it won’t ruin the holiday just head downstairs for a nice dip in the pool or have a bite to eat!
I have to admit I love flying and I would never say cruise every year instead of flying to your favourite destination but going on a luxury cruise is nice every so often and with Regent Cruises (the one I went with) you are sure to have a better time than on an aeroplane.
