Default First cruise - CARIBBEAN - questions


wrote in message
oups.com...
We decided to buy our first cruise:
place - Caribbean, time - December, we found too many nice cruises and
now we are confused what is the best for us? We need some help....




There's no doubt that BIG ships are in flavor. You can't go wrong on a
Voyager class ship. I was on a seven nighter on the Mariner of the Seas, a
sister ship of the Voyager. Mariner was amazing.

As others have said, a ten nighter may attract an older crowd. Seven
nights sound perfect, especially since this is your first cruise.

As for balcony/window/inside cabin. When I was planning to go on my
first cruise (the Mariner of the Seas) I asked if I should get a balcony or
not. The best advice I got here was - there is so much to do on these big
ships that you don't really spend much time in your cabin, so you probably
wont miss a balcony. However, since this was my first cruise I decided to
get the balcony. I will say it was nice having the balcony. But we did not
spend much time out on it.
Since this is your honeymoon and first cruise I was say shoot for the
balcony but you really wont miss it if you get a window only room.
