Cruise lines are consistently building cruise ships that are bigger and better than anything else built before. Each cruise line adds its own flair and unique attractions to set apart its cruise ships from others in the industry. 

There's no limit on how much fun cruise lines can pack into a cruise ship these days. Even as everyone has slightly different ideas of what fun means to them, there is surely something for everyone onboard.

Your home has it, your local McDonalds has it and even your car can have it. But, do cruise ships have it?

Yup, we are talking about one of the most essential services of everyday life - the internet!

If you’re new to cruising, you are probably looking to understand the very basics of how Wi-Fi works while you’re at sea. As much as we all love to disconnect from day-to-day life, it's tough to go without Wi-Fi when you're used to having easy access at home.

Planning your next vacation and torn between a cruise or hotel? There are many options to consider when trying to make this choice. While both options will provide you a comfortable place to sleep, there are many things you can find in a cruise vacation that you just won’t find in a hotel.

Located on the Sea of Cortez, Mazatlan is a popular cruise stop on many cruises to the Mexican Riviera. The Spanish settled in the area in 1531, leaving a strong mark on the regional food, culture and architecture.

Well known for the city’s iconic cliff divers, it is described as a colonial beach city. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Pacific, with warm weather throughout the year, it has a semi-arid climate which makes it ideal for outdoor activities.

Located on the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is a popular port of call on many Mexican Riviera itineraries. Originally a fishing village, it has quickly grown to become one of the top tourist destinations in Mexico.

For those cruising to Cabo San Lucas, there is a huge array of activities to fill the day, with many capitalizing on the warm, inviting sea and fantastic weather. The resort city sees little to no rain most of the year, a bonus for any traveler. 

When traveling with kids, many families find that cruises are one of the best options. With limited stress and plenty of amenities and activities focused on everyone in the family, cruises can be a great way to relax, do things that interest you, and come together as a family in the evening for dinner and a show.

If you're going on a cruise these days, you'll probably need to get a pre-departure negative Covid-19 test.

Some cruise lines have dropped the requirement to get a negative test, but most still require one to ensure everyone boarding the ship likely doesn't have an active infection.

U.S.-based cruise lines are required by the CDC to ensure all of its cruise ship passengers get a negative Covid test before embarkation.  Some lines operating in Europe have begun to drop the pre-cruise test, but this is the exception.
