When people think of cruises, they often think about unlimited food, and while that's true, the dining experience onboard a cruise ship differs from land-based restaurants. 

You, for instance, will not receive a check at the end of your meal. While it might seem a bit foreign, all you have to do is say thank you and leave! No need to worry about having anything billed to your onboard account— Unless, that is, you choose to dine at one of the ship's specialty restaurants or order a premium selection in the Main Dining Room. 

Norwegian Cruise Line is one of my favorite cruise lines in the industry. I appreciate their commitment to bringing great cruise vacations to their guests for reasonable prices. Plus, they're one of the best in the industry at offering something for everyone onboard.

When you book your cruise, you'll often have the option to select the exact cabin you want to stay in. Before you can choose which deck you want to stay on, however, you need to choose the stateroom category. 

Interior staterooms tend to be the cheapest onboard, as they have no windows. Next are ocean view rooms. While you won't have a personal verandah, you will have natural light and be able to look at the passing scenery. 

When the majority of people think of taking a cruise, they usually envision sailing on the latest and greatest available.

Did you know that modern cruise ships can travel around 575 miles per day?

As humans, we travel nearly every day, whether commuting to and from work, going to the supermarket, or boarding a plane to visit relatives in another state. In other words, the speed of various modes of transportation is something that's thought about almost daily. 

Norwegian Cruise Line introduced its new groundbreaking Prima Class in 2022 with the debut of Norwegian Prima. Since then, Norwegian has expanded and introduced its second Prima Class ship: Norwegian Viva. 

If you are planning a cruise onboard one of the most modern and innovative cruise ships at sea, you might have the option of booking an infinite veranda. Before jumping onboard (literally), it is important to know that these are different than traditional balcony staterooms that you are probably used to. 

Whereas standard balconies have a door that opens up to a personal outdoor veranda, infinite verandas are designed to bring passengers closer to the ocean by essentially turning the entire stateroom into a balcony.
