So we are still on a cruise, on our way to some enchanted land.  It is a great weather today, and the air is warm, and so are everyones smiles.  Here is more of what you can expect in a ship cruise.

Meals
You won’t go hungry while cruising.  All meals are included from morning to night. Most cruises have 24-hour buffet areas where you can eat any time of day or night.  Sit-down gourmet dinners include your choice of appetizers, salads, main course, and desserts.

Going on a cruise is a fantastic holiday. For singles, be prepared to be entertained almost 24 hours a day. For honeymooners it can be the most romantic time of your life and a time to remember. For Mums and Dads being spoiled is too good to believe, and when there are children with you, you’ll be glad to know that they are cared for and entertained for most of the day. This gives you lots of free time to pursue whatever entertainment the line offers.

Many people new to cruising don’t always realize that not everything is included in their cruise price. Many are disappointed when they board their ship and realize they will need additional monies to get them through their trip. However, if you have done your homework you should know this prior to making bookings.

Although each cruise line has its own set of inclusions, the following information does apply to the majority of the cruise lines. Always check the free classifieds sites and travel websites before you book your holidays, you’ll be surprised with what you might find.

New Zealand is a beautiful country, and not just because some of the most spectacular films in cinema’s histrory were made here. (Just to name drop a few: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Braveheart, King Kong, The Last Samurai). Perhaps, what makes New Zealand lovely is its sense of calm and quiet, its possibilities for transformation, and its lush greenness that declares itself as one of the last stronghold of the planet. With this beauty comes a somewhat stress-free attitude shown by some of the friendliest people in the world.

If you’re visiting New Zealand for a while, and you think you have everything down pat, think again. Check your luggage, your travel arrangements and schedules, get travel advice, consult free online classifieds for the best yet cheapest travel package. And then take a deep breath. New Zealand is going to be such heady, but well-worth-it fun.

Water is most precious in Australia as the continent is prone to severe periods of drought. When traveling the scorchy Outback, you’ll learn to appreciate just how valuable water is.

Carry and drink plenty of water in your travel. Remember that the body’s thirst mechanism is set on delay, which means by the time your brain tells you you’re thirsty, your body has suffered from minor dehydration already. In the exceptionally high temperatures of the Outback, dehydration could occur more rapidly than you expect.

Rule of thumb: Carry four litres of water per day per person.

Non-perishables
Have more than enough food supply to last you in your journey in the Outback. It’s better to have some supplies left over rather than pack just enough. Food is essential especially in rough unknown surroundings, or if you are lost and have no idea what the distance is to the next township.

Take items which are only non-perishables though, like ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables, and high energy foods like peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars. Make sure you have a can opener or knife for cutting open foil and plastic pouches. Pack food in plastic zipper bags to keep them dry and as airtight as possible.

Petrol Consumption
Always have your car on full tank. And have some spare petrol at hand, too, as petrol stations are few and far between in the Aussie Outback, and the trading hours are very short. A good advice is that chart your petrol consumption before you leave.

Mobile phones
True to their name, mobile phones should go with you as you trek the Outback. But a dead mobile phone isn’t very much use to anyone, so don’t forget to take a charger that can be used in the car’s lighter. In some places of the Outback, you may not get a signal, in which case a Citizen’s Band radio may come in handy on your journey.
