KNOW WHAT kind of cruise holiday you want and you
are sure to have an enjoyable holiday; choose a cruise that
doesn’t suit you and you could walk away vowing never to

cruise again.

That message came from
veteran cruiser and travel agent
Tina Wignall, who said that the
most important part of planniag a

cruise heliday is matching the.

cruise ship and trip with the
potential passenger.

Cruise ships come in many
shapes, sizes and styles, and she
says that there is a cruise to fit
éveryone. ‘‘It is so important to
choose the right ship.”

“No two ships are alike,”’ she

a . said, stressing that it is vital to an

enjoyable vacation to be sure of
the kind of experience you want

- and then to find a trip that will

cater to those tastes.
