A cruise can cater to almost any type of traveler and their travel needs. Cruising is not only for families. With the many cruise packages available, you can also find cruises suitable for disabled travelers, honeymooners, and gay vacationers. By Jim Brown Going on a cruise is a great vacation idea, and a cruise can cater to almost any type of traveler and their travel needs. A cruise is not only for couples or for families. Many single travelers go on cruises. The great thing here is that even if you are single, you need not fear sitting alone for a meal. You will actually be seated with other guests. Should you not desire the company, there are many cruise ships with alternative options for dining. You easily get to meet new people and have someone to talk to, as the atmosphere on most cruise ships is friendly. Singles get to meet and know other singles through the parties that the ships host. The disadvantage for single travelers is that they typically pay more for cruises compared to those who share a cabin. Cruise rates are based on two people per room. You have two basic options here: either find a reasonable single supplement rate (for those who travel alone on a cruise); or find a cruise line with a cabin share program, where you will be paired with another single traveler for a lower cruise fare. All cruise lines will match you with the same gender and with someone of about the same age. If possible, choose those lines that offer a sort of guarantee program, where if they cannot find you a roommate, you still get the cabin for yourself at the shared rate. If your intention is to meet other singles like you, select a cruise that specializes in bringing together single people. A traveler with a disability should inform the cruise line ahead of time about his or her special needs. If you are in a wheelchair, you should make sure to get a cabin that is easily accessible, and check to see if you can get around various areas of the ship like the public rooms through an elevator. Inquire also about the cruise line's policies when it comes to travelers with disabilities. Some cruise lines only allow such travelers if they are accompanied by an able-bodied companion aboard the ship. You should select newer cruise ships, as they provide more easily accessible cabins by wheelchair. Check as well to see if your cruise ship docks at ports, or just uses small boats or tenders - which cannot accommodate a wheelchair. For those with certain ailments or chronic problems, you should consult with your doctor before you travel to verify that a cruise vacation is right for you. With the many cruise packages available, you can also find gay-friendly cruises and cruises geared for honeymooners and couples.
