Why it matters
A cruise looks simple: one price, one ship, one suitcase. In practice there are dozens of decisions that shape the week, from which cruise line suits your family to which side of the ship you want to sleep on. Get them right and you unpack once and enjoy everything. Get them wrong and you spend a week next to the elevators wishing you had chosen a different ship.
Ines Tours & Travel helps travelers across Burbank, Glendale and Los Angeles choose and book cruises, and we coordinate the flights and hotels around them so the whole trip fits together.

Good to know

Fly in the day before. Always.

The ship will not wait for a delayed flight. For a sailing out of Miami, Rome, Barcelona or Seattle, we plan your arrival for the day before embarkation, with a hotel close to the port. It costs one extra night and removes the single biggest risk in any cruise vacation. The rule is explained further in our guide on how to plan a first cruise.

Cruising close to home

Southern California travelers have an advantage: several cruise lines sail from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which means no flight at all for a Mexican Riviera trip. For Alaska, the Caribbean and Europe, we arrange the air as well.

Which cabin should you choose?

Balconies are worth it on scenic itineraries such as Alaska. If you plan to be off the ship all day in the Mediterranean, an ocean view or inside cabin can leave money for shore experiences instead. Motion-sensitive travelers usually do best in a mid-ship cabin on a lower deck. We walk you through the deck plans so there are no surprises.
