According
to the agents, shipboard accommodations are their clients’ most important
consideration. They consider price, amenities, Wi-Fi access, the availability
of adjoining rooms and even the quality of the bedding.
Cuisine
was second on the list, and the agents reported that almost 75 percent of
clients look for ships with alternatives to the main dining room, such as
specialty restaurants or casual “Lido Deck” dining. More clients are also
requesting heart-healthy cuisine.
Entertainment
placed third, with clients looking for Broadway-style shows, Las Vegas-style
revues or famous-name acts on board.
Clients
also look at the quality of a ship’s spa facilities. They look for workout
facilities, kids-free facilities and wellness features such as saunas, running
tracks, group exercise classes and beauty salons.
Finally,
clients look at available shore excursions, with the most popular being “sun
and sand” experiences like beach excursions, snorkeling and other water sports.
City tours and adventure excursions are also popular, followed by shopping
tours and cultural experiences.
