...Neither I or my boyfriend has ever been on a cruise. I would really like to plan a nice trip for us. He's 22 and I am 21. What do you think is the best cruise line, best destinations, and best priced cruises? Any info would be awesome. Were on a budget, so Im looking for the best prices too. Thank you
"CARNIVAL :] Ive been on 3 of them and i havent been disappointed once. There are so many activities.
Check out www.carnivalcruiselines.com
You can pretend your booking a cruise online and change up the dates and places to find the cheapest yet suitable cruise and itll give you the grand total and the next step is the credit card information if you like it :]
Personally I would go on an eastern carribbean for 7 nights :] and since youre young there are going to be so many activities, clubs, bars,poolside games that the whole ship comes out to watch because its helarious: i recently went on Carnival Triumph and a few of the games were THE HAIRY CHEST COMPETITION, THE SCAVENGER HUNT (where the worker who is directing the game picks a few people and she tells them like to find a bikini top from someone whos willing to give it, and its timed. its all amazing)
Theres so much to describe. But if you have any other questions that come up about anything you can email me : Lindseymich07@yahoo.com
:] good luck"

...I am going on a 7 day cruise to Alaska and Canada on July 17 with Celebrity cruise line and staying in Vancouver for three days too. I'm a teen (14). Can someone give me a list of the exact things I should bring?
Heres the exact cruise:

Also- I've been on plenty of cruises before (mainly to the Caribbean and once to Hawaii) and I live in Florida. Needless to say I'm not exactly well prepared for Alaska!! My entire wordrobe consists of shorts and tank tops and t-shirts. I have a couple of light jackets and 1 or 2 pairs of jeans so I know I have to go shopping!!
"The main thing that you may want to buy is a hoodie, a sweat shirt with a hood and make sure that you have a light jacket that will fit over it.
I have been to Alaska twice, once on business for two weeks in June and then on a cruise inside passage and land tour in May. What you need to pack is not that much different from any other cruise or trip. The weather in Alaska on land can be very pleasant; maybe in the 70's during the day, in July, even up into the 80's. It will likely be rainy in a couple of your port stops like Juneau and Ketchkan. Not a downpour but light showers.
It will be pleasant on ship while you are in inside area but breezy and chilly on open decks. When you get near the icebergs and glaciers it will be cold. And I mean like hat, coat and gloves cold. But the way to dress is layer your clothes so you will be warm enough when its cold but not too hot when you are in warmer areas. Instead of a ski jacket, take a lighter one that you can wear comfortably over a sweater or hoodie. Take some long sleeved shirts and slacks or jeans. Take a cap or hat and even gloves. plan in packing to be able to layer your clothing with underclothes, shirt, sweater, jacket for your dress each day.
I cruised on the Celebrity Millennium and it has areas where you can see things without being outside. It also has a solarium, a glass covered pool and hot tub area that is for those adults but you can probably use it with your parents.
The dress on ship is casual all day until 6:00PM. So take:
- swim wear,
-sun glasses and sun screen, lotions,
-a warmup suit or sweats to relax on ship in,
- a hoodie and a jacket that you can wear over it,
- a hat and gloves for when you get near the glaciers and ice fields,
- a rain poncho because it will likely rain in Ketchakan and/or Juneau,
-a book if you are a reader,
-your music player,
-good walking shoes,
-your camera, and binoculars,
-other personal toiletries.
Don't over pack , take clothes that you can mix and match tops and bottoms and plan to wear each piece twice."

...ok so im only 15 and my family hardly ever goes on good vacations. when my parents were together we went to myrtle beach almost every year and i went on a cruise to mexico in 7th grade. and that was the best week of my life and i wish we could do those things again but my dads gf ruins all of them and stuff...but anyway i want to go on a cruise with friends or whatever when im older (like 21 i think thats the youngest you can be) but anyway i want to go on a really nice one to spain (and other countries it just has to include spain) id like it to be 14 days but i doubt ill have THAT much money to throw away when im 21. what goes into planning? what are they charging you for? anything i should do to make sure i save enough money? i have $1000 in the bank already so i actually do save my money and i dont even have a job. (its from babysitting and a paper route i did a few years ago) but how much do i need for just myself? if my friends are going are they cheaper cause theyre adding on? give as much information as you can thanks :)
"Hi Sam,
I like your style!
In today's prices I think you should count on at least $100-$125 per day per person on a cruise ship as you describe. Many European cruises are longer than some we have here, so you will probably be on a 12-14 day cruise. Of course the rooms are for two... no discounts until you add a third or fourth person.
Of course, you must include airfare to Europe.... You can find prices all over the place, but for planning purposes, figure about $500 per person R/T.
At every port of call, you will want to do something, and that costs money. Sometimes a lot of money. Figure on a 12 day cruise, at least $400 on shore excursions per person... just a number.
So you are at least $4,000+ for a two person cruise. That sounds pretty light compared to what I have spent in the past....
Here's an alternative: Do a cruise out of the US where you don't have to spend so much on air travel, and can usually find cheaper, shorter cruises.
As for Spain, speak to your counselor at school about summer travel programs in Spain. When you go as a group, you can find some terrific bargains and you have experienced leaders with you... and you don't have to wait until you are 21. Some involve study where you will actually get school credits... and they are fun. Some are for a month or more!
Start taking spanish classes in school now!
BTW... you can go with other adults on a cruise if you find someone who is going. There are different groups... just keep your eyes and ears open for ideas.
ALSO: Start looking around for jobs on a cruise ship after you turn 18. Could be a great way to spend a year before going to college!
Keep kicking ideas around, and never stop dreaming! Set your goals and keep trying... you will make it!

...Hello there! Thanks for viewing my question!
I am looking at Cruises and I realized I still didn't get my Passport updated so I was wondering if you needed a passport to go to the following places: (Also the cruise line is Royal Caribbean)
Miami, Florida
Nassau, Bahamas
Cococay, Bahamas
Key West, Florida
Would an ID or a student ID be ok?
Thank you.
"A student ID would not suffice. You will need your original birth certificate or a certified copy and a governmental proof of ID for closed-loop cruise travel.
See "traveling by sea" on attached website.
http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1200693579776.shtm ..
The U.S. birth certificate and a U.S. photo ID are required in lieu of a passport to enter the Bahamas.

...can anyone suggest, do I pay the expensive fee's the cruise line want for excursions or simply do our own thing?
"YES, for sure do excursions. You don't want to go all that way and then miss some of the best historical sights in the world. I have cruised the Med twice and have another booked right now that I have already booked excursions for. It would help to know which cruise you are taking and what port stops you will have. Not all cruises of the Med are the same and the ports are also different. It also makes a difference what cruise port you depart from. So I'll go over some of the ports I have been to and give you a suggestion on each.
Both of my Med cruises (and the one we have booked) departed from Barcelona. If you fly into Barcelona and you have time before the cruise departs or after it returns and before your flight (like late afternoon) you can tour Barcelona on your own. We are going to use this hop-on hop-off bus to tour when we return there. http://www.barcelona-on-line.es/eng/reserves/bus_turistic.htm
Nice/Monte Carlo: We did a ship's tour at this stop but I was not impressed with it. My advice is go on your own.
Florence/Pisa (Luverno): In my opinion the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a must and Florence was nice also. You can do both in one day. We did but it was a rushed tour. But if you want to book your own try this web site: http://www.viator.com/Florence/d519-ttd
and:
http://www.italyguides.it/us/pisa/pisa_italy.htm
Naples: Naples you can do on your own, even if you want to go to Pompeii which I highly recommend. http://www.viator.com/Naples/d508-ttd
Rome: Rome is a MUST do on any Med cruise but my advice is to book with the cruise line for this one port because the cruise pier is a good hour by car, bus or train from the city. I have read reviews where people made their own arrangements and the train station to take you to Rome is not too far from the pier. BUT, if you go on your own and are late getting back you do run the chance of being left behind; they WILL leave you. But if you want to do your own touring this web site will help: http://www.viator.com/Rome/d511-ttd

Athens: The port for Athens is about 20 miles from the city and you can get ab taxi and go on your own. But you better know where you are going as the street signs are in Greek. http://www.athensguide.org/
Santorini: No ship's tour necessary. Just take the tender boat ashore and ride the tram up to the city level. We did a tour but realized after wards that we didn't really see much.
Mykonos: go on your own. You can walk into town or take a shuttle bus.
Kusadasi (Ephesus): I suggest taking a ship's tour because Ephesus is a good half hour bus ride from the pier. http://www.kusadasi.net/
But if you want to book yourself you can do that online but you'll need to do a lot of research so you'll know what you want to see and how much it costs. Then you'll need to decide whether you want to book in advance on your own tours or wait until you get to the port city. My advice is book in advance.e web sites:"
