I get seasick. Do I need to get a cabin lower down in the ship or are the top cabins stable enough on big ships?
Though you’re likely to feel less sway and roll on a very large cruise ship than you would on a smaller vessel, if you do get seasick, it’s always important that you choose a cabin on a lower level and closer to midships, where the movement is more minimal.
Going on a cruise stopping at Dubrovnik in October – what are the must-see things there?
There are many great sights in Dubrovnik but the best way to get an appreciation of the city is to walk along the city walls. They are arguably the one absolute must-see, offering magnificent views across the squares and streets of the city and home to a number of towers and fortresses along the route. […]
When sea conditions are rough, is it better to be on a big or small ship?
No matter what size of cruise ship you travel on, from a safety perspective, you won’t need to worry about rough conditions, as all cruise ships are built with this in mind and feature inbuilt stabilizers to prevent excessive movement.

Can I book my own flights to the start of a cruise rather than paying cruise line prices?
Certainly, there’s nothing stopping you from booking your own flight to your country of embarkation, providing the cruise you are looking at is not a package-only deal. However it’s worth noting that, though you may find what you think is a cheaper deal by booking a separate flight, many cruise lines offer deals where all […]
Do I need any vaccinations for a Caribbean cruise?
Yes. There are many ports of call in the Caribbean which require vaccinations. The main injections for a Caribbean cruise include Hepatitis B and Tetanus, though these are advisory rather than required. You may also need a yellow fever certification, depending on whether you have visited risk areas. It’s always best to speak with your […]
Is it easy to rent a car in Tenerife? Are there any hire companies at the port?
There is a Hertz car rental very close to the cruise terminal in Tenerife. It is easy enough to rent a car, you’ll need a credit card and your driving license, and you’ll be taken through car preference and the insurance you require, but it’s worth booking ahead before you arrive to ensure a smooth […]
Can Cruise118 organise my flight to the embarkation port e.g. a flight to Athens?
If you’re booking a cruise through us that doesn’t have a flight already included as part of the deal then yes, we can book you a package that includes flights to your embarkation port and returning from the port where your cruise ends.
What’s the best/cheapest hotel option near Southampton for an overnight stay before our cruise?
If you want the cheapest hotel, there is a Travelodge within two miles of the port, or for something closer there is a Premier Inn just half a mile away. However the best hotel in our opinion is The Pig in the Wall, a quirky bed and breakfast with stylish rooms and a unique atmosphere.
