Cruise from NY port? Which cruise line is the best?

Question

I live in NJ and am thinking about taking a cruise with my family, leaving from a NY port. I have never been on a cruise and am looking for some advice on which lines are the best.... Any insite and advice you can give me on your experience on a cruise would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

you have lots of suggested ideas, i have heard it is best to stay with the same cruise ship for your future travels also, they discount on the second cruise. so choose wisely

Answer 2

VacationsToGo.com has listings of cruises from various ports - just enter that as one of your search variables.

For lots of info about cruising, go to CruiseCritic.com and click on "Boards" and/or "Reviews" [be sure to check for the past passenger reviews there].

Answer 3

Carnival cruise lines. www.amazingdiscountstravel.com

Answer 4

Norwegian Cruise Line has cruise ships leaving from there plenty of times a year.  From NY And also Philadelphia. They go to Bermuda, Carribean, Weekend Cruise, and to the north.

They are also cheap. The cruises depend on age groups like some are for more of younger and others for older.

Answer 5

I would definitely suggest Carnival Cruise lines. They have a 8 day cruise on the Carnival Miracle that goes to the Caribbean over the summer. Its an absolutely beautiful ship. I was on it once and there is so much to do. A perfect vacation for a family.

Answer 6

well if your from Jersey Royal Carribean and Celebrity cruise right out of Bayonne.  You can go to Bermuda for 5 or 7 days. Bermuda is nice.  Royal Carribean is GREAT!

We also have cruised out of NY too.... We were just on the Princess cruise to the Carribean it was 10 days.  THAT ONE WAS NICEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!  NYC docks are really crowded. Try cruising out of Jersey!

Answer 7

I like Royal Caribbean and Princess in that order.  Stay away from Carnival.  I know nothing about the rest.

Answer 8

We are leaving next Friday out of Bayonne with Royal Caribbean on Explorer of The Seas.

We have met many people on cruise ships who have sailed with Carnaval. Once they sail with RC they stick with them.

The service is incredible. If you can get a suite. The extra room is well worth it. The inside estate rooms are lower priced but we always enjoy the balcony with the roomy suite.

We are going on our fourth one with RC. We looked at others but they just don't have the reviews that RC lines have.

Enjoy.

Answer 9

My favorite is Princess cruise lines because I prefer something classy and with great food and entertainment. The younger crowd seems to like Carnival which owns Princess, so there is no competition. I have cruised with Princess 8 times and intend to do it again next year.

Answer 10

Princess cruises go from NY. They are brilliant
