A - Your Questions Answered

 
Aft
Near, toward, or in the rear of the ship.
 
 
Age
You may be surprised to find that first-time passengers are often under 40, with ships to suit all tastes and ages. Most cruise lines require passengers under the age of 21 to travel with someone over 25, the legal age of adulthood in some countries.
 
 
Air-Conditioning
All modern ships have individual temperature controls in cabins, so you can adjust it to suit yourself. The temperature in public rooms is controlled automatically and often kept cooler than you may be used to.
 
 
All-Inclusive
Compare the cost on land of meals, enter- tainment, educational talks, sports facilities etc. and you'll soon realise the incredible value of a cruise. The only items generally not included are alcohol, excursions, beauty treatments & onboard purchases.
 
 
Alongside
Said of a ship when it is beside a pier or another vessel.

Amidships
In or toward the middle of the ship: the longitudinal centre portion of the ship and best position to be in adverse weather conditions.
 
 
Art Auctions
Aboard many large and mid-size ships, art auctions form part of the entertainment. They are fun participation events - however many pictures are prints and not originals and can be costly to transport home.
 
 
Atrium
The central court of a ship rising through several decks often with shops, cafes, bars and public rooms accessed at several levels. A focal point or meeting place on most ships and often where you will find the Purser's Desk (Reception).
