According to Abraham Maslow, you have needs. These needs are on five levels, physiological, safety, social, self-esteem and self-actualization. Most product and /or services address one or two of these needs. A cruise meets them all. Your physiological needs are basic. You need air, food, water, sleep, health and shelter. A cruise provides fresh sea air, 24 hour food, plenty of water, your bed nearby for sleeping, a healthy environment and a comfortable cabin to shelter you. Your physiological needs are 100% met. But there’s more.
A cruise also meets your safety needs. You have a secure place to live. You are sheltered unlike any other travel experience. On a cruise you don’t have to worry about strange hotel rooms in strange cities or questionable environments. You are in a safe, secure environment. Well lit and well-protected. Feel like going out on the town? Just walk down the hall to the dance floor? You return home –safely – to your cabin at the end of the evening.
Social needs, for sure, are met on a cruise. Human beings crave the company of other human beings. We like to be around attractive people and environments to socialize with others. You’ll find plenty of comaraderie on a cruise ship.
You need to be respected and to respect yourself. A cruise addresses your needs for self-esteem. Why? Because you have full time servants, that’s why! You’ve got a maid who cleans your cabin twice a day. You’ve got European hotel-trained waiters who serve you at white tablecloths three times a day. You’ve got a chauffeur (the captain) who is moving you from place to place. How could you not have a huge boost in self-esteem by going on a cruise with a maid, cooks, waiters and chauffeurs at your beck and call? If your self-esteem doesn’t double on a cruise, nothing else will do the trick.
Your final need of being self-actualized is certainly met on a cruise, as well. After all, once you’ve got your physiological, safety, social and self-esteem needs all 100% fulfilled on a cruise, why couldn’t you take time to pursue your reading, writing, artistic, musical, educational, spiritual or other actualization activities? You can. You’ve got all the time in the world to improve yourself in so many ways and to become a better person through your cruise experience.
A cruise experience meets all of your needs unlike any other travel – or other – experience.
