Cruising generally refers to trips of a few days or more, and can extend to round-the-world voyages. Imagine being pampered at a luxurious resort and waking up each morning to a brand new, stunning view of the world. Well-appointed ships boast all the amenities from a land-based Vacation and more, including many choices of restaurants and live entertainment. Of all the amenities provided on cruises, food remains one of the highlights. Cruise ships often are referred to as ""floating smorgasbords"" because of the abundance and selection of food onboard Meals and snacks are available round-the-clock. Going on a cruise it is better to dress with comfort. There are three types of ""evenings"" on board - casual, smart casual and formal. Virtually every cruise ship has a fully-equipped medical facility and staff to handle almost any emergency.
