Discover the seven most important things to consider if you are thinking of doing a world cruise, grand voyage or a long extended cruise. Taking a regular cruise you have to be careful, but committing many thousands of dollars and weeks and months on one cruise line and ship requires even more care. For most cruisers a world cruise, voyage or cruise of several weeks will be a once in a lifetime trip, due to the costs and time. I share the seven things I learnt from taking a number of them, and share the most important extended cruise tips and tricks you must consider before deciding to do one and booking.
