By Barend Grant

Many of the activities offered onboard some of their ships, such as simulated surfing, are not available on any other cruises in the world.

As mentioned, you are encouraged to also examine cruise lines that may not be as popular or well known as the two mentioned above. If you are interested in booking a romantic cruise ship vacation, you may want to examine Windstar Cruises. Windstar Cruises is a cruise line that offers cruises aboard on only three ships.

When examining each cruise ship line, you are encouraged to view each company's websites. These websites are a source of valuable information to you. In addition to learning about onboard cruise ship activities, you can often take a virtual tour of each and every ship. A virtual tour will give you a better idea as to what you should expect from the different cruise ship.

Cruise Lines Use Discounts to Lure Customers in a Weak Economy

Rising fuel prices have hurt the company stock of many cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean International, and the Walt Disney Co., parent of Disney Cruise Line.

This economic pressure, along with an increase in passenger capacity of 24 percent in 2008 over 2007, means that mass-market cruise lines have been aggressively promoting discounts and deals, especially to popular first-time locations like the Caribbean.

As a result, there are plenty of great deals on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney cruise lines.

Now is the time to choose a cruise!
