| Which Cruise Line? Ok me and the hubby have been looking around at cruises. We have decided in 2010 that just me and him are taking one. Figure we deserve it since we are taking the kids 2 years in a row. Anyway this is our choices so far. We were looking at the 7 night eastern cruise with Disney that goes to Tortola. We would be getting the stateroom. No view. We figured most of the time we would be on land or out on the ship somewhere. Then we looked at Carnival. Haven't figured out were exactly we would go but looked at the prices. We could get a room with a balcony for the stateroom with no view price at Disney. Those are the only 2 lines we are looking at. Others seem to be way to pricey and my parents went on the Royal Carribean cruise and did not like it at all. Is it worth going Carnival to get the Balcony? Or should we just stick with Disney? Also I have a question about Disney. I was reading in there that it takes care of your transportation. Does that mean a bus from were you are to there or what? I know when my parents went on the Royal Carribbean they took a bus to the port of call.

| I know this is coming out of left field, but how about a Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise? The most beautiful country we've ever seen. Humpbacks, orcas, dolphins, eagles, puffins, bears, caribou, moose - you name it. The 2 best cruises we've ever taken

| Cruise Lines are all very different. DH and I have never cruised on Disney, so I can't help you out there. Since you would be traveling without your children, I think you would probably enjoy Royal Caribbean (I know your parents didn't enjoy it, but do find out what they didn't enjoy) or Princess. Both these ships offer tons of activities all day and you can choose to do all of it or none of it! They also have casinos on board which are fun even if you don't normally do something like that. Just remember to "set your limit" and only bring that much cash with you. I am not a big Carnival Cruise Line fan, but they have worked hard to better their image over the years. Definately go for a balcony if you can do it. I do recommend going to talk to a travel agent if you have one available near you. They should be able to suggest a cruise line that would work for you. Also, if you decide to book through a travel agent, they often have the ability to through in "on board credits" etc. Good Luck.

| We have been on five Carnival cruises and loved them, scheduled for a sixth in December. On our upcoming trip we picked them for exactly the reason you mentioned - can get a balcony for a reasonable price. I know it's not for everyone and the ships are kind of gaudy, but we find the staff to be incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms spacious, and the itineraries varied. The food is decent. We also like Princess, which you can somewhat get for just a little bit more if you pick a less popular itinerary. All this said, I have very recently decided that I want to try a Disney cruise just to experience the ships. If you have any specific questions about Carnival feel free to PM me. Do you know what ship you would be going on? There are BIG differences among the old and new members of the fleet, IMO.
