- Q. How do I start planning a cruise?A. Before you contact a travel agent or book a cruise on line, there are (at least) ten questions you must be prepared to answer. Sit down with your traveling companions and answer these questions, and you'll look more like an experienced cruiser than a first timer!

How to Find a Good Travel Agent - Q. Where can I get information on specific cruises?A. All of the major cruise lines have information on their Web sites about future cruise itineraries and ports of call. After you have looked over the About Cruises site, you might want to check out the Cruise Lines' directory.

- Q. How do a find a job in the cruise industry?A. I am neither a travel agent nor a cruise line employee, so I cannot help you find a job on a cruise line. I do have a library of links to cruise lines' pages on cruise ship employment.
