Anyone who has been on a cruise please come in?!

Hello,

 So I am getting ready to book a cruise for this year for my husband and I.  I have been on Carnival and Royal Caribbean.  After being on Royal Caribbean I would never go back to Carnival.  I think Royal beats them hands down in almost everything.   That being said, Carnival is pretty much out for me but I was wondering about Princess and Norwegian as well.  

I thought a few times about trying one of those "private boats" the ones where there are like 8 passengers but I'm just not quite sure how that would work. 

 So basically, I'm just asking about everyone's thoughts or suggestions if you've been on a cruise plus maybe it will liven up the board a bit! :) 

Re: Anyone who has been on a cruise please come in?!

  • I've been on just one cruise, loved it!  I've only been on Carnival though (for our honeymoon, Carnival was the only one leaving the day after our wedding)--am itching to go on another (maybe for our 5 year anniversay), so I'll have to keep Royal in mind.  I heard great things about Royal and I think my boss went on a Pricess cruise and loved it, but am not 100%.  Sorry I can't be more help, am interested in what the others have to say!

  • mt - I loved Carnival too until I went on Royal.  I felt like Carnival was more family / kid friendly and not adult friendly not to mention that there were too many kids unsupervised at all times!!  I love kids don't get me wrong but some kids can just be so disrespectful!
  • I hear you about the kids, some can be really bad!  Royal sounds great, we like adult friendly!  I love kids too, but there's grown up vacation time and family vacation time and we definitely like our grown up vacation time (we don't have kids, but I do have a 9-year-old stepson that's here every other weekend and we like to do a family vaca during the summer and a just DH and me vaca at some other point).
  • We took a cruise to Bermuda (where we got married) with Norweigan and I loved it.  I like the idea of 'freestyle cruising' because your not set to a schedule to eat/play.  I guess it depends on where you want to sail to and where you would like to sail out of.  If you want to stay local, I don't think Norweigan sails anymore out of Baltimore (at least for the time being), but I think(?) Royal does.
    Married 6/10/09 in Bermuda.
  • I've been on RC and Princess.  The Royal beat Princess hands down.  A friend of mine who cruise quite a bit, is a huge fan of Holland.
