I need help picking a cruise!? |
Travel Info I want to plan a cruise for this coming summer. I really don't know much about them but am looking for something cheap, but not rundown. Any suggestions? I live in Tampa, so there is a port 15 mins away. Travel Tips I just went on a Western Caribbean cruise in November (departing from Ft. Lauderdale) with a group of friends and it was great! We chose Royal Caribbean and it was money well spent. We talked to an older couple on our ship and they have been on over 40 different cruises!! They both said that by far Royal Caribbean is the best cruise line as far as service and price. They have been on about every cruise line there is. Carnival is cheap but their ships are also older which means they rock a lot more. The couple also said that they live in Ft. Lauderdale and when they book a cruise they do it at the last minute because it is a lot cheaper. I think they said they paid about $ 250 a person for the 5 day we were on which is less than half price and they booked it a week before it left. It's no wonder they have been on so many cruises. I would too if I lived that close! I can't wait for my next cruise and it will with Royal Caribbean for sure! Hope this helps. Others www.ytb.com/awitravel click on Book Travel to reasearch. they are the only one I use. they won Carnival Cruise's Top award. Do you have travel dates in mind?? http://www.1Cheapcruise.com Check out www.vacationstogo.com This site allows you to search for cruises by departure port. - after registering, go so Find a Bargain and you can limit your search to departing from Tampa. Carnival has 4, 5 and 7 days cruises departing from Tampa. Carnival is a great choice for budget minded cruisers, families and young folks. Casual, party atmosphere. Royal Caribbean is a bit more upscale. But I did not feel the add'l dollars we paid were worth it. We have taken the Disney, Royal Caribbean and Carnival cruise lines. What I would suggest as a first time cruiser is you go on a Western Caribbean cruise right out of Tampa. They are on the cheaper priced cruises but very good cruises. This way you can get your "feet wet" as a cruiser to see if you like them and what they are all about before deciding to jump in big. Just a suggestion. The Western Caribbean cruises are really fun. They go to some really nice places, Cancun, Jamicia, Cayman Islands. Lots of fun things to do at the ports and you'll get to experience all the pleasures of a cruise. If you want to jump in feet first, look at an Eastern Caribbean cruise. Beautiful waters, great beaches and tons of fun things to do as well but are a little more costly because they are usually 7 day cruises. Been on many cruises |
