At the same time, like an all inclusive, all the food and drink should be included in the price (including the entertainment and activities) meaning that once you get out there on the sea it actually becomes quite a cheap holiday.

Of course another of the great benefits of the cruise holiday is that you get to see more than you otherwise would. The fact that you're being taken from one point of interest to the next means that you will get to see more of a country (or several countries) than you normally would be able to, even in a couple of holidays. When you think of your normal holiday too, you normally do a couple of excursions to the main 'sites' and spend a lot of the rest of the time resting by the pool or repeatedly seeing the local area. This way you get all of the resting by the pool you could want (and of course you're welcome to stay on the boat the whole time if you prefer), but then you also get to see a far larger selection of exciting sites making your holiday absolutely action packed but still restful. And the best thing about it is that you don't have to organise any one of those excursions yourself either!
