What is the best ocean cruise you ever took?

Question

Good food? All-inclusive? Best ports of call? Nice cabins?

Answer 1

worked on the QE2 for 10 years and travelled the world. superb job with benifits!

Answer 2

Alaska, just awesome.  But Carribean with a balcony is pretty sweet too.  St. Thomas is great.  Cozumel is fantastic for scuba/snorkeling.

I would recommend Royal Carribean for service.

Answer 3

RC western Caribbean  Something to do every second

Answer 4

Been on lots (but never superliners - don't fancy them).

Best food - possibly NCL.

Best ports - liked the Far East (Hong Kong to Singapore via China and Viet Nam, the last is beautiful).

Nice cabins? - I remember one on "Santa Cruz" had a wonderful picture window giving views of the Galápagos (where she operates).

But maybe you always remember your first cruise. Mine was on Epirotiki's "Jupiter". Not an outstanding ship really, fairly elderly then, but she had character and felt like ship, not a hotel. There was a particularly cheerful atmosphere aboard, thanks to a happy multi-national crew. She took us to Greek islands and across to Egypt, where we had a really interesting overnight excursion to Cairo. Oh, happy memories!

Sadly, she was rammed by a cargo ship a few years later, and lies on the bottom off Piraeus.

Answer 5

Hotels on land have less chance of sinking......

Answer 6

My favorite by far was a cruise on Celebrity Cruise Lines.

They advertise "White glove service", and they mean it.  When I entered the ship, I was met with a glass of champagne and escorted to my cabin.  That was a first for me.  The ship was always clean and the staff courteous.  The food was spectacular, and the service impeccable.

I am saving to go on another Celebrity Cruise (10 days to Alaska) next year.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

A seven Seas Regender, from Florida to St Thomas...

Great food, great rooms and lovely service!

Answer 8

On the Sunbird up The River Amazon and then visiting Tortola and Devils island(of Papillon fame) Half board but amazing food. Cabin is a cabin-just for sleeping in-ok with good shower well away from any noise apart from the prop shaft. But the sea sickness tabs helped me sleep like a baby hehe.

What an amazing two week cruise.

Answer 9

Ours was the Disney Cruise. They treat you and your kids so well. If you need something they figure it out. Yes the food was good, all-inclusive except for alcohol. Even the soft drinks were complimentary (they are not on some cruise lines). Our ports of call have been: Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Key West, Private island. Cozumel is my favorite. We visited there twice on cruises and had great weather both times (Feb. and April) and there is so much to do in Cozumel. We had the smallest cabin on the ship and we were fine in it. It fit our family of 4 plus all of the stuff. We way over packed. We really didn't spend a ton of time in the room so I was glad we didn't upgrade.
