Cruising Myths
Do you know how false beliefs are created? Some tells a slightly exaggerated story to someone else who is naive enough to believe anything; later, the second person will add their own exaggeration in retelling the story. From one person to another, details will be slightly changed, new conclusions will be drawn, and people will end up firmly believing a tall tale that no one bothers to test and whose original source no one even knows. There are such myths about quite a lot of places and activities ?and cruising makes no exception.
One of the most widespread false beliefs is that cruising is only for seniors. That may have been true in the past, but not anymore. First of all, age perception has changed, and what was considered old in the past is now viewed as middle age. Second, the diversification of cruise programme has made this kind of vacation become more and more popular among young people.
Another popular misconception is related to the passenger's ability to adapt to the sailing conditions and their proneness to seasickness. It's true that you might need a couple of days to adjust to the swaying of the ship, but chances are it won't take very long before you get your "sea legs". Moreover, modern technology is used on the ship to reduce the rolling and pitching motion.
Instead of giving up the cruise idea, you should take the necessary precautions against seasickness. The easiest thing is to have some tablets with you. Dramamine is probably the most popular treatment, and it can be bought without a prescription. Taking it a few hours before the cruise will greatly reduce the risks. However, the side effects it has, such as tiredness, cotton mouth, and a feeling of tenseness, are what makes many people turn to alternative solutions.
Sea-bands are one such alternative solution. These bracelets have a button on the inside pressing against certain points of your wrist, according to an acupressure technique.
Some people also use patches, but you need medical prescription for them. Worn behind the ear, they will release some medication through your skin into the blood to help soothe the seasickness symptoms.
Have you ever heard people saying that shuffleboard and bingo are the only activities available on the ship? Don't be surprised if you climb aboard and find out it was just another myth. Cruise lines offer a wide variety of activities to choose from ?not only will it be impossible to get bored, but it will be very hard to choose from all those option. You can exercise, take dancing classes, try skeet shooting, become a wine connoisseur, learn the history and culture of the places where the ship will dock; you can take arts classes, take part in a card tournament, or simply enjoy a rejuvenating massage and lounge by the pool. And, of course, you can try shuffleboard and bingo as well.
Another story you may have heard is that all people do on a cruise ship is eat. It's true that you have an Epicurean assortment of menus to choose from, but it's ultimately up to you what and how much you eat.
You shouldn't let such tall stories influence you. Once you're been on a cruise, you'll see for yourself what it's like, and you'll be happy not to have let yourself discouraged by the myths people spread around about cruising.
