3 day cruise: A Short Trip to the Coast

By Maria Ramin

Believe or not, 3 day cruises are just as fun as longer cruise trips. Plus, you don't have to blow your budget to have some rest and relaxation.

Here are the best parts of it:

Delectable cuisine, romantic movie nights,world-class entertainment, massage and spas, outdoor and indoor activities, wall climbing, snorkeling, parties, musicals, variety shows and seaside excursions. Expect superb customer service and experience first class pampering from the cruise staff.

For first-time cruise travelers, you may want to start with a 3 day cruise from Los Angeles, Miami, Fort Lauderdale or San Diego. Short trips such as a 3 day cruise will help you decide whether to go for the longer cruises next time.

Then there are the 2 or 3 night cruises called ?repositioning cruises?.

This is when major cruise lines reposition cruise ships from the South America to North America. For those in San Francisco, they usually can embark on cruise ships repositioning from South America to Alaska. These mega ships stop in Los Angeles, San Francisco and now Seattle before arriving in Vancouver and then on to Alaska.

These cruises are listed as ?cruises to nowhere? or ?Costal Cruises? Regardless of what you call them, they are extremely affordable. Why? Because they do not return you to port or origin.

In 2007, more cruise liners are offering cruises from San Francico to Alaska during the summer months and San Francisco to Mexico during the cooler season. A lot of passengers have taken this route lately. Also, we were able to travel to Vancouver via coastal cruises in the past. It's a lovely place to visit.

The sheer excitement of cruising off into the sunset is an experience that you will never forget.
