What cruise line do you recommend? I'm thinking about a short trip for Nick's 30th and I have zero experience with cruises...

  • Butting in. Jess and I have been on the same ship! The Explorer of the Seas. It's a Royal Caribbean ship. I had a great time on my cruise.

  • Thanks Dani! I'm hoping for a short relatively inexpensive trip with good reviews from people I trust =)

  • yup royal caribbean by far!  the explorer is a great ship (not only b/c i got married on it:P) but pretty much any RC ship that is newer.  unfortunately the RC ship that leaves from b-more is older and not as up to date.  some of the newer NCL ships are pretty great too.  

    carnival is too college spring break for me and the food sucks.  celebrity the food is amazing but not a lot of fun stuff. royal caribbean the food is awesome and there is so much stuff to do!

    i don't mean to offend anyone, just my personal opinion from cruising a lot.

  • My family always goes with Princess Cruises.  They are more couple based than family or 'party' based.  Not spring breakish at all.

  • DH and I loved Princess for our HM cruise.  DH was sold on cruising after that.  They don't do many shorter cruises, so I would probably go with RC for something that's only 3-5 nights.

    I've done on RC cruise and as Jess said it was out of B-more and the ship was old and the entire experience wasn't the greatest unfortunately.  I do have a coworker who loves RC and is like an emerald on them so I think it was just our particular cruise.

    For the IL cruise of doom next April we're going on Carnival b/c SIL booked it and being very coughwhitetrashcough I'm not surprised she's a carnival girl.  I'm expecting it to be pretty spring breakish and GASP we're going during the kid's spring break, lol.

    DH and I are planning on going back on princess in 2012 for Alaska, we're just waiting on the itineraries to come out.

  • i have never been on princess so i would listen to the other girls on that one!

  • I agree with RC~!! Definately NOT carnival! I went on my first cruise with carnival and they ran out of food on the ship! it was dirty and gross. RC all the way!
