Carnival Cruise - serious responses please? |
Travel Info I am planning a cruise in September, 2007. Is this a Hurricane month? Also, which carnival cruise is better for two single ladies looking for some non stop action. Don't want to be on a cruise that is "family oriented". Travel Tips Mam's advice is excellent-- and here's something else to consider. Generally.... Look into cruises that revolve around a schedule that is "like minded". For example, demographically speaking, most people in their 20's aren't able to go on a 10 day cruise... and they may not be as interested in destinations such as Alaska or the Panama Canal. Cruise durations and destinations say allot about who will be on the ships. Also, timing of the cruise will dictate who will be onboard. If you try going during a school break/recess--- you'll see more families, after all, typically most families plan vacations around school holidays! September is a hurricane month... but even then, cruiselines will alter their course and change destinations should the need arise. You will have a great time regardless of when you go, because there is always a party somewhere. And if you're looking for a cruise with more partiers... check out cruises with durations under 7 days, and those with destinations like Cozumel, Grand Caymon, Bahamas and USVI.... Source(s): Cruised 6 times with Carnival... Other Travel Tips Any of the Carnival ships will be what you're looking for in a cruise. Here's my suggestions: As for cruises, my suggestion would be to take one leaving San Juan since there aren't as many days at sea and you go to better islands. You can get plenty of time on board the ship at night. Buy your own snorkel gear here so you won't have to spend about $30 for a ship excursion once you get to an island. Just get off the ship, head to a taxi and ask him where is the best place to snorkel, or a beach that has a bar, or ... whatever your interests happen to be and he'll know the best spot. He'll pick you up when you ask too, just bring a few extra bucks for a tip. If you've got days at sea...and you've got the money, then a balcony is well worth the price since you'll feel that you "own" the ship with so much privacy. It's wonderful to say the least, otherwise, book a cabin with a window. (I had a hard time in a windowless cabin, but that's me.). Two weeks before you set sail, call the cruise line directly and see if there are any free upgrades. Sometimes this might work, depending upon how filled it is. I usually find a good deal by comparing prices for cruises here: iBtraveling.com This way you won't have to pay a travel agent's fee. If you can type...why not compare yourself for the deal you want best and type the info yourself? I've never had a problem, although I've read and learned that once you put your order in online for "anything" and you've used your credit card....That you should shut down your computer completely and restart it and start surfing again. Just to be safe. Well, those are my thoughts. Hope they help. Enjoy Hurricane season - yes. Sept is a good month for not running into too many families because most kids are heading back to school. Are you looking to sail for 4/5 or 7 nights. You can save $$ on your cruise by not flying to your ship. There are plenty of departure points so you don't always need to buy air too. www.1cheapcruise.com www.myspace.com/1cheapcruise Hurricane season is June 1- November 30 - Get trip insurance to cover all of your pre-paid non-refundable expenses. Carnival is not required to reimburse your cruise cost for hurricane - they have in the past as a good will gesture - not a requirement. Try one of the smaller cruises - 3 day baja cruise out of Long Beach for example is one I book for a lot of singles. Online at dating services or cruisecritic.com you may find single theme cruises already organized. Cruise consultant |
