Expert tip: Take advantage of any future cruising program the cruise line offers. This means you place a deposit (amounts vary depending on the cruise line) for an unspecified future cruise while on your current cruise. This usually results in a substantial shipboard credit to use immediately, and you have a long time to decide which cruise you'll use the future credit towards. Remember to specify your travel agent on the deposit sheet. rosemarieh@caamanitoba.com; 204-262-6233 Interested in taking a cruise?

Expert tip: Book early for the best rates and availability.

Expert tip: For first-time ocean cruisers, be well prepared in case of motion sickness. A few good options are Gravol, Sea Bands (wrist bands), ginger supplements or Scopolamine (a patch). Or opt for a river cruise. The smaller ships have flatter bottoms that glide through the water and typically don't cause motion sickness. (Talk to your doctor or health-care provider prior to trying any new medication or supplement.) gayles@caamanitoba.com; 204-571-4107 Alice Martins Empress Service Centre Cruise areas of expertise: Alaska, Antarctica, Caribbean. Best cruise memory: While in Antarctica, a family of humpback whales swam in front of our ship. We were all so mesmerized watching them that we almost forgot to eat lunch. The expedition leader had to remind us that lunch was ready 20 minutes prior! alicem@caamanitoba.com; 204-262-6190 Ruth Vincent Empress Service Centre Cruise areas of expertise: Alaska, Caribbean. Expert tip: You do not have to dress to the nines for a cruise, although you can if you want to.
