Fly cruise...what are the benifits?

Some say fly cruise cuts out the 'boring' bits, others, that it's those 'boring' bits that are the most relaxing part of their cruise.

Luggage is a major player too, with obvious restrictions when you fly to your ship but of course we don't all have the luxury of a long cruise that cuts out the sometimes long wait and the queing for the security clearance, then again its a short cut to those wonderful far flung destinations.

Allowance for luggage is being or has been reduced by most airlines making it more frustrating for cruisers wanting to carry their formal wear as well as everything else, perhaps a lighter weight case and  a light weight ballgown may help to alleviate this slightly.

Alternativly, if you have an item you just have to take, then you might consider paying the excess at the airport but check out the ever changing costs per kilo and per airline.
