If you’ve never been on a cruise<\/a> before, what do you need to know?<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, that’s what this website – How to Cruise<\/strong> – is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s about us, David and Christine from Wigan, UK, sharing the things we learned from going on our first cruise<\/strong> in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and many things we’ve learned since.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words…<\/span><\/p>\n

As I share in our ebook, How to Choose Your First Cruise<\/em>, which I’ll gladly send you with our compliments (hey, there’s no sales pitch – just the ebook and a weekly email with helpful cruise tips – there’s a link to it at the end of this article)…<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three main things to consider when planning your first cruise.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Choose Where To Go On Your First Cruise<\/span><\/h2>\n

Where’s the best place to go on your first cruise?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, much depends on when<\/em> you want to go on your cruise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s look at three popular destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caribbean cruises<\/strong> are normally available between November and March, thus avoiding the threat of hurricanes which tend to happen mid-June onwards. It’s usually lovely and warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mediterranean cruises<\/strong> are naturally popular (and therefore busy) in the summer months. The warmest time is between May and September, but some cruise ships sail the Mediterranean the whole year round.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for outstanding beauty, the Norwegian Fjords<\/strong> may be the place to go. Just remember that its northern location can mean lower temperatures, especially out of the main summer season.<\/span><\/p>\n
