Title | Going on a Cruise |
Text | Many Americans enjoy going on vacation cruises. Cruises are usually "all-inclusive packages," meaning that everything is included. The lodging, meals, and entertainments are included in the price, so people only have to pay for airfare and alcohol once they've paid for the cruise. Many single adults and couples enjoy going on "luxury cruises," where everything is very comfortable and pleasant - and usually expensive. On a luxury cruise, people might expect to go to nice bars and restaurants, shop for fine jewelry or "liquor" (expensive alcohol), or get a massage. Luxury cruises also have "casinos" (large rooms where people can gamble, or play games for money) and theaters with live performances. People might "get dressed up" (wear very nice clothing) for special dinners on a luxury cruise. Most families with young children prefer "family cruises" that are designed "with children in mind" (while thinking about children). Many of these cruises are "themed" (reflecting one major idea), such as Disney cruises where children can enjoy vacation with their favorite characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. On a family cruise, there are many games, contests, and other organized activities for children. There are also many pools with "slides" (long pieces of plastic that one sits on and moves down before falling into the water). Other types of cruises "cater to" (serve) specific types of people. For example, a "singles cruise" is designed for people who are not married and are looking for a romantic relationship. A "retirement cruise" is designed for older people who have stopped working. |
