Our Repositioning Cruise Experience
Are you familiar with repositioning cruises?
We certainly had not heard about them until not too long ago.
What are repositioning cruises?
Cruise companies reposition their cruise ships from continent to continent to commence the next season e.g. Europe to the Caribbean.
Repositining cruises are one way the traveler can win too — fares are between 30% to 70% off the full price meaning cruise travel is more affordable for you.
Instead of arriving at a new destination jet lagged and exhausted from a 9-hour flight, we arrive refreshed, relaxed and raring to go.
During the cruise, the clocks are adjusted accordingly and by the time you reach your destination you are in sync with the country you are visiting.
We had expected a lower level of service and less entertainment and activities on our repositioning cruise, but that was certainly not the case.
At times one of the bars may have closed for renovation and repair but that did not hinder the experience on board at all for us or other guests.
Which cruise ship did we travel with?
We chose Pullmantur and their Cruise Ship — The Monarch.
