Book my cruise after or before I book my airfare.
It all depends on where you're traveling. It is generally better to book your cruise before you travel because it gives you more flexibility with dates. You could, for example, plan your cruise around the summer months if you are sure you will be visiting Europe. On the other hand, if you are going to Asia or South America, you might want to book your cruise later to avoid high season prices.
How long does the journey to port take?
The distance between the port, the ship's speed, and other factors affect the time it takes to get to the port. Important to remember that some ships dock very close by shore, so they can unload their passengers as quickly as possible. Others dock further from shore so the ship takes longer to arrive.

How To
How to avoid getting seasick on a cruise
A hat is the best way to prevent seasickness while on cruise. A wide-brimmed cap helps to prevent motion sickness by keeping your head from moving too much.
A hat also keeps water off the face, reducing the air's moisture. This makes breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in moist air.
Another tip is that you should drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the liver, causing fluid to pool in the stomach. The amount of salt in the bloodstream can be reduced by drinking enough liquids. The body retains water due to salt, which can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
There are medication options available to help seasickness. Some medications can cause side effects like dry mouth, dryness, constipation, blurred sight, headaches, dry lips, dry skin, dry gums, dry lips, constipation, dry eyes, dry throat, dry skin, and constipation.
