Went on a Royal Caribbean cruise and it's still the best vacation I've ever had. Too bad I was underage at the time and couldn't drink. I've been looking at cruises and they're so expensive. Maybe one day, but I'm saving for New Zealand right now.0

Love Bermuda! Rented a moped and spent lokts of hours at Horshoe Bay beach....beautiful. Then headed over to the Wharf and had quite an epic experience at the Frog and Onion......theyh still may have my pic up behind the bar. I went back the next year and it was there.....long story 0 -

its amazing! i loved the fact that u dont really need a taxi or a mo-ped to get around. you can just disembark and just walk around. it was lovely.
i might go back this summer. pretty excited.
Your pics show Norwegian....haven' t tried that line0 -
Breakaway is awesome cause it’s a freestyle ship. You can do anything u want. No need to follow any programmingsugarnspice0613 wrote: »I love cruises. Actually looking at a cruis for july or august this year. Love the norweigion breakaway ship
I was clean eating for 2 weeks to prep lol
We’ve cruised with NCL before, and that’s also the line we have our January cruise booked with. I was just looking at MSC and thinking about booking another one because they are giving a free beverage package (very limited selection for alcohol, but you can upgrade it at a reasonable price). The Meraviglia has Cirque du Soleil onboard!! We watched Circus of Dreams on NCLs Epic which was awesome I’m looking forward to cruising on Meraviglia.
Do you vary your destinations, or do you tend to stick to the same area such as the Caribbean?
Iv done the free beverage package. Keep in mind ull need to pay tax on top ( around 100 per person ). But its worth it if u drink a lot. I had like 5 mudslides a day!
Cirque du soleil on the breakway was amazing
I vary my destinations whenever possible. Im from NYC and I usually only choose the ports that leave here. Not a fan of flying out to FL to catch the ship
Im looking to do a 14 day european cruise in the future. So far iv only done bahamas and bermuda
I did a 7 day Mediterranean cruise with Costa and it was a lot of fun. Toured Pompeii and Carthage which were my personal favorites. haha The cruise itself, we had a lot of fun. I went with my 2 cousins.
Before that, I had done 2 different Caribbean cruises with Carnival, a weekend one to the Bahamas, and a 7 day one to Jamaica, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands.
Maybe it was my age, or the ship style, but the Costa cruise seemed so much more mellow than Carnival.
We were loud.
Which is the norm for my family (Puerto Ricans.... haha - when the booze flows, we have one volume)... But on Carnival we blended in with our loudness. On Costa, we stood out. People knew who we were.... not sure if that was a good thing, or a bad thing... but either way, we had a blast!
I would love to go on an Alaskan Cruise, though.1 -

I just got back from a five night cruise to the Caribbean. Ports in Grand Cayman and Cozumel. It was on Carnival-which I won't do again. It wasn't bad, but having been on Disney and Royal Caribbean, Carnival pales in comparison. Loved our shore excursions. We're talking about pricing Hawaiian cruises for next winter. We did a round of whole30 prior to the cruise-not for the cruise or weight loss per say, but the weight loss was a nice side effect.1

the mediterrnean cruise sounds awesome. i was looking into that one was well at one point, but flew to japan instead. ill revisit that idea for later this year if i dont do bermuda again
carnival is def a loud ship and can blend in with the crazies should the alcohol take u to loud levels xD glad u had a blast
alaskan cruise sounds interesting!Bullet_with_Butterfly_Wings wrote: »DreamAmalfi wrote: »Bullet_with_Butterfly_Wings wrote: »Bullet_with_Butterfly_Wings wrote: »Has anyone ever done a Disney cruise? Thoughts?

twas so yum. i had a bartender app ready before boarding lol asking for drinks i never even heard of.
We did a Mediterranean cruise with Celebrity if you want to go to that part of the world it's worth it. We started in Rome, well the port near there. Mourn lost luggage arrived as the car came to take us to the ship. We had 3 stops in Greece, 2 in Turkey and then Naples. It was awesome. We had the drink package and awesome wait staff in the dining room so my glass was never empty
We've cruised Celebrity, Norwegian, Carnival and Disney I'd rank them in that order. Norwegian we did the Hawaiian islands.... It was fabulous. Celebrity the highlight was the 16oz Margarita I discovered. Celebrity has the best steakhouse1 -
Celebrity is currently offering a free drink package for ocean view rooms and above. Drinks is definitely where cruise lines get you as the actual fare is pretty cheap for being mostly all inclusive.
Cruises might seem expensive, but if you price out airfare, hotels, and food costs at all the destinations, they are a very affordable compared to traditional vacations.
Bermuda would be nice. It’s on our list so I can see pink sand! It sounds magical! We tend to select our cruises based solely on price and itinerary. We have one with carnival booked which goes to Turks and Caicos and the Dominican Republic.
I REALLY want our next one booked to be in the South Pacific, Amazon River, or Northern Europe (like Iceland—a northern lights cruise!!).2 -

Sounds awesome!
We started in Barcelona, and went to Marseilles, Savona, Naples, Palermo, Tunis (Tunisia), and Palma de Mallorca. I think Palma was my favorite location and we did a bicycle tour.
My cousin had a wine package, but since we were there celebrating our 30th birthdays, the crew found out and kept sending us free bottles of wine. So we had a LOT of wine.... We did maybe 4-8 cafe au laits during the day, at least 2-3 bottles of wine at dinner... massive fruity fun drinks after dinner..... It was insane.
My aunt is a cruise travel agent. So next time I want a cruise.... I'm calling her. hahaha She is a jack of all trades. She also works in IT and sings opera. haha0
