CAN'T CRUISE? CHOOSE ALL INCLUSIVE LUXURY INSTEAD
So, what are cruise-lovers supposed to do? Easy: vacation at an all-inclusive resort instead. All-inclusive resorts give you that everything-included vibe that cruises do, providing all the food, drinks, activities and entertainment in one upfront price. Plus, they tend to be located in the same locales cruise ships visit, so you can enjoy tropical destinations and experience unique cultures. Read on to get a better idea of what all-inclusive resorts offer.

ALL RESORTS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL
Sure, most all-inclusive resorts are cut from the same cloth—offering a stress-free place to unwind and recharge with nearly everything you need or want included. Yet they also have key differences that can enhance or diminish your overall enjoyment of these tropical oases.
Just like a hotel, the star rating of an all-inclusive resort is a good indicator of the overall quality you can expect. Properties can range from deluxe to luxury, though they mostly stay in the 4- to 5-star range. This rating is reflected in the quality of the rooms, the service, the food, the entertainment and the choice of alcohol. If you want high thread count sheets on the bed, L’Occitane products in the bathroom and Johnnie Walker Black at the bar, aim for five-star.
Where resorts truly shine over cruise is in their all-inclusive nature. Whereas many cruise lines expect you to pay more for their drink package and fanciest restaurants, most resorts do not. You will enjoy an
endless supply of beer, wine and mixed beverages, along with non-alcoholic choices like soda, juice and smoothies. As for food, most all-inclusive resorts offer basic buffets for breakfasts and lunches, and then a higher-end buffet, sit-down restaurant or specialty dining experience for dinner — all included.
