Costs The typical full world cruise costs a minimum of about $20,000, and it's very important to comparison shop.
Those who book the full cruise and do it well ahead receive all sorts of perks from free roundtrip airfare and up to $2,000 per stateroom in onboard credit to private car transfers and complimentary shore excursions.
Clothes Ships vary from many formal nights to none; choose the style that matches your own taste.
Keeping in Touch Check roaming charges from your own cell phone provider from the various parts of the world before you leave; they are the ones who set your rates.
Cruise lines and cruise Web sites set up pre-cruise meetings with chat rooms for passengers to communicate before and after sailing.
Electricity Most cruise lines have outlets for both North American and European plugs. Irons are generally forbidden because of the danger of fire, but there is laundry and dry cleaning service on board and most ships have hair dryers installed in the staterooms.
Health There is medical care on board, even a dentist on some world cruises. Bring a full supply of prescription medicine along and be sure that you have travel insurance that covers your health, including medical evacuation, just in case.
