Answer 3

Departing Galveston really limits your options, as there are not many ships sailing from that port.  Also, it is late to be booking a cruise for this summer, especially given the limited options from this port.  Did you mean $1000 per person or for four people?  The former is very doable; the latter, not.

Contact a travel agent; AAA is good if you belong.  To get an idea of what's available, try VacationsToGo.com and put in Galveston as your departure port.  You could also check the various travel websites, like Travelocity, Expedia, etc.

There is a lot to know before booking a cruise, so you might want to do a little reading first.  Your library should have a book on cruising - there's even a "Dummies" book, if you're so inclined - or check with your bookstore.

A cruise definitely is a fun vacation, but you've put a lot of limits on what you're looking for, so that's going to severely limit your choices.

I hope you find something just right!

Answer 4

The budget seems a but low, esp for a family of 4 - my husband and i have cruised many times before and just for the vacation was always over 1,200 for both of us - you also have to consider all your alcoholic beverages, shore excusions and tipping - however, if you book early and go on a 4 or 5 night cruise it may be more affordable...

Answer 5

A carnival cruise would be perfect for your family. They have a fantastic children's program, and it is a very family-generated cruise line. You will have to check their site at www.carnival.com for intineraries for future cruises. Good luck!

Answer 6

Contact a local travel agent  -- they sell 94% of all cruises.

If you book on-line on an automated site you will over pay.
