* What activities are usually on a cruise ship?   Think of a cruise ship as a floating resort.  On-board activities begin at dawn and go almost all night long.. Go ahead!  Take the plunge!  You will always remember a great cruise vacation fthat will give you a life time of beautiful memories.  On shore there are many other activities to enjoy such as:   snorkeling,  fishing, swimming, hiking, shopping, taking long leisurely strolls on the beautiful white sandy beaches that are so tastefully  washed in the clear bluest of blue caribbean sea in places like the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cancun or Dominican Republic.  Yes, and there is still more, to much more to list all the fun you can have.    Every ship has different activities and that makes for more exciting times.  When decide to go on a cruise again you can choose another cruise line that has different activities and that makes for even more fun.  Generally the larger ships will have the most activities. Just to name a few activities; there are just lounging on deck or relaxing with a good book, swimming, bingo, floor shows, talent contests, dance classes or indulge yourself in a relaxing massage.    
* How long do cruises last?  Most cruises last from 2 days on up.  
* What about airfare?  Most of the time cruise lines offer both a cruise-only price and an air-sea price that includes connecting airfare, transfers between the airport and ship and baggage handling. In some instances, only the cruise-only fare is available.  These beautiful cruise ships come in all size and shapes  from yacht-like vessels to hugh cruise ships that hold as many as 2,000 to 3,000 people.

On some itineraries, a certified copy of your birth certificate and a driver's license or government-issued photo I.D. are sufficient, on others a passport is required.
