Answer 3

First let me say that cruising is GREAT. Now since everyone likes different things & expects different things, once you have decided when & where you want to go look at the different cruise sites or visit your local AAA office & get free brochures. No you do not have to be a member. Compare the things that are important to you. Actitivies, Ports of call, cabins, price, dress code etc..

I have sailed with Norwegian, Princess & Holland America & every cruise was Great. Every cruise line trys to offer something for every age group & interest.

Hope that you ENJOY your cruise.

Answer 4

I have been on about 20 cruises and on Princess, Celebrity, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean ships and can vouch that they are good cruise lines for people your age. However, there are some differences among these and other cruise lines.

Regardless of which cruise line you select, the things that are included are pretty much the same. The price of your cruise includes your cabin, all meals (including breakfast, lunch dinner, snacks and free room service)(you do pay to eat in the specialty restaurants), all shows and entertainment, and free use of all facilities on ship. Other than that you pay your gratuities ($10 a day per person) and for drinks. its the same on all of these cruise lines.  You also have to pay if you want SPA services like massages, wraps, or hair done.

- Princess, and Celebrity have great ships are more classy and reserved than the other cruise lines.  If you want a better cruise experience for your money go on one of these cruise lines.  The difference in cost of these two over the others  is not that much.

- Holland America has more senior citizens cruising on its ships.  It has great ships and service but the majority of the passengers will be about twice your age, and more.  You may want to rule them out.

-Carnival is the budget cruise line that has more first time cruiser and young people (20 to 35 age group) who want to party, party, party.  If that is what you are looking for then Carnival is the cruise line for you.  Carnival is family oriented to an extent and will also have a good number of kids and also some older passengers.

-Norwegian cruise line is good and I have been on many of their cruises. Its the line that you want to go on if you want to be informal for pretty much your whole cruise. They have formal nights like other cruise lines but they do not stress dressing up; the call it "dress up if you want to" night. In my experience their passengers tend to be a mixture of young and middle aged people.

-Royal Caribbean caters most to families and has the most and best on-board activities. Many Royal Caribbean ships have things like ice skating, roller blade track, rock climbing wall,  mini-golf course,  full sized basketball courts, and adults only pool and hot tub area called 'Solarium",  surfing on ship on the "Flowrider", pool tables.You cannot go wrong with RC.

There are some things that you need to know about cruises to help you decide on one.  First, you should know that all of the cruise lines give the best price for early bookings that are a year or more in advance.  Cruise lines also list specials on their web sites so do look for those. The specials can many times save you a couple hundred per person over the price for the exact same cruise on a different date.

Second you should know that all cruise cabins are sold based on double occupancy and the prices listed will be per person and based on at least two people going on the cruise. The price you pay will depend mostly on the type accommodations that you choose. There are 4 basic types of cabins on ships;

- inside (no window),

- outside (a window or porthole),

- balcony/veranda, and

- suites.

Royal Caribbean has some inside cabins on its Freedom and Voyager Class of ships that have a window overlooking an inside promenade mall.

The "FROM" prices you see will always be for an inside cabin. There are also some subcategories within each category with cabins on a higher deck, and/or a better location on ship (like midship), and/or that are slightly larger costing more. So as you browse, pay attention to the square footage of the cabins. You may not want to pay more for the same sized cabin on a higher floor; or vice versa do pay less for the same cabin on a lower deck.

You also need to know that you have more cruise options, better and newer ships, and generally slightly lower prices from Florida ports such as Miami, Ft Lauderdale, and Port Canaveral.

I have listed below the web sites for the medium priced cruise lines which operate from US ports. These are the cruise lines that most people use. There are some luxury lines that are much higher priced with prices starting around $4,000 for a 7 day cruise. The lines that I have listed below will have cruises starting in the range of $800 to $1,000 per person for a 7 day cruise, again depending upon the date and type cabin you select.

You can reserve a cruise on line, by calling the cruise line, or through a travel agent by paying the minimum deposit which will be between $250 and $350 per person for a 7 day cruise, depending upon the cruise line. The minimum will be more for a longer cruise, for example $450 per person for a 14 day cruise. The balance will be due approximately 60 days before the cruise departure date. But you can make periodic payment on line or with the cruise line. I have reserved on line and made payments many times.

In my opinion Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Celebrity have the easiest web sites to use to find cruises and specials.  You need to decide whether you want a relaxed cruise with lounging around most of the time, or a cruise with lots of activities while on the ship as well as in port stops.  If you want more activities go with Royal Caribbean, or secondly Carnival.  But if you want relax the go with Celebrity, Princess or Norwegian.  My recommendation that you select a cruise on Celebrity, Princess,  Royal Caribbean, or Carnival, pretty much in that order.
