We keep deliberating about cruises. So many people say that they love it. Whilst we would need to deliberate over whether it's for us and would need to find a route and itinary that suited us, I do wonder about costs and other aspects of cruising.
I assume that all meals are usually included, but drinks are extra. Are drinks usually expensive?
What about tips? I've read some offers for cruises that mention the price includes maybe £100 allowance for tips - who are passengers expected to tip and how much?
I see some ships that have up to 3,000 passengers - how on earth do they all get on and off at each port of call?
I assume the big ships have several restaurants - can you chose which to use and do you have to book?
I hate 'dressing up' - certainly I couldn't wear a suit or tie on holiday - is this a thing of the past now?
Any other tips?
