What Waters Are You Eager to Discover?

Would you like to remain close to familiar waters, or are you excited about sailing to a new continent? Perhaps you simply want to be surrounded by warm waters, no matter the location.

• North American waters: Set sail for the eastern shores of Canada and New England, or venture further to Alaska.
• Exotic waters: Explore destinations like Hawaii, navigate through the Panama Canal, or visit various ports across Europe.
• Warm waters: Cruise through the beautiful Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexico, or the stunning Bermuda.

Begin your journey by determining how far you truly wish to cruise.

Which Cuisine Appeals to You the Most?

Fortunately, you don’t have to limit yourself to a single cuisine while aboard your cruise ship. You can enjoy all your favorite dishes, ranging from Blue Iguana Cantina to Guy’s Burger Joint.

Consider your favorite dishes or the cuisine you wish to explore; this can inspire ideas for the types of shore excursions that might suit you:

• Cruise to Mexico for a delightful Taste of Mexico.
• Set sail for Hawaii to experience a traditional Luau.

What Season Do You Prefer for Traveling?

Depending on your travel style, you might have a preferred season (or two) when you enjoy escaping for a vacation.

Do you enjoy escaping to warmer waters during winter, cooler waters in summer, or perhaps celebrating holidays far from home? Alternatively, maybe the timing of your vacation isn’t a concern at all.

If you're looking for a festive holiday escape, consider the Funtastic Thanksgiving or Funtastic Christmas cruise, allowing you to skip the usual holiday preparations and cooking. For a memorable New Year’s Eve at sea, embark on a Funtastic New Year’s Cruise to sunny destinations like Grand Cayman and Mexico.

Which Animals Captivate You?
