What is the best Cruise line for a couple?

Question

My husband and I are looking into going on a cruise. We want to go on a cruise ship that has good rates, but we also want to choose one that is high class with good service and destination. Which is best?

Answer 1

I have been on 8 cruise with Princess cruise lines and I think they are just great. They have good rates, but there ships and service are very classy. My favorite cruise so far was a cruise/tour to Alaska. I did and saw so much in 10 days. I have also been on a 29 day cruise from Sydney Australia to Los Angeles. Now that was a bit long, but very relaxing. For more info, go to Princess.com and you can check out there web site.

Answer 2

Look into Celebrity and Holland America - and perhaps Princess [I have never sailed with Princess].  From the reading I've done recently at CruiseCritic.com, it sounds like Celebrity has deteriorated somewhat in quality.  Some people think HAL is only for senior citizens, but that wasn't our experience, even on a 10-day cruise.  It is very subdued and classy - it doesn't have the activity level that some of the other cruise lines have, however.

I suggest you get a book on cruising from your library to get an overall idea of the different lines.  Then check out the CC website [click on "Boards" and/or "Reviews" at the top of the page - be sure and read passenger reviews!].

Hope you find just the right cruise for you.

Answer 3

ROYAL CARIBBEAN!!!!! It is the best cruise line for EVERYONE!!!!

Answer 4

In my opinion, this is too broad of a question.  Even within each cruise line company you will have a different experience on different ships.  Depends on the destination, the time of year, the length of the cruise, the type of cabin you choose (suites can make a whole world of difference versus inside cabin).  I've sailed everything from Carnival to Sea Dream, and just about everybody in between - and they are all different, but good in their own special way.  It just depends on your specific goals and expectations for THIS cruise.   For the mass market cruise lines (Carnival, Holland, Princess, Norwegian, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean) they are all pretty much priced the same or very close in destinations like Mexico and the Caribbean.

Answer 5

First advice... Talk to a cruisespecialist i.e cruisesinc.com otherwise Holland, Crystal, Princess, SeaDream, Regent these are all lines you may want to look into.
