Input Please On My Final Three Selections....
Hello all, I have finally whittled down to three (3) cruises and all
input is welcome as to which line and/or itinerary. I have cruised before, my partner has not and is welcoming the opportunity. I tend to enjoy formal, he does not but will. Looking for constructive input based on recent experiences first hand or through friends you know who have sailed on the following: 1) Regent SS Mariner 4 Jan 11 Western Caribbean, Deluxe Suite $3,399 2) Seabourne Legend 28 Jan 11 Bal Suite B2 $3,199 3) SeaDream SeaDream II 7 Jan 11 Club Deck 3 $3,399 Seadream I can opt for the minimum class. I understand for #'s 2 & 3 I need to add air, port charges and taxes. Any other suggestions or recommendations are welcomed too. TIA for your input... Bo1953 |

Bo1953 I had a friend at work who sailed Regent (Paul Gauguin, etc.) a number of times and raved about it. But she's the only one I know who did any of the three. And only Regent. All are really high end... I guess I'd opt for the largest ship out of the three (all are small), to potentially have more things to do on board. Out of the three, I don't think you can go wrong. But they are rather expensive for most people. --Tom |

Sorry I can't give you first hand input on those lines but having done a bunch of Caribbean cruises I have some input on your choice based on the itineraries. I can't see spending that much for the western Caribbean itinerary on Regent Mariner. Ditto the Seabourn Legend eastern Caribbean itinerary. The itinerary on SeaDream II on the other hand looks a lot better than the other two. Nevis, Saba, St. Barts, Anquilla, and the BVI ports. If you are going to spent kind of money on a Caribbean cruise I think the SeaDream is the one to choose out of the three. -- Charles |

3) SeaDream SeaDream II 7 Jan 11 Club Deck 3 $3,399 This isn't cruising, this is yachting, be sure you understand the minute and large differences. The primary activities on this ship are boozing, snoozing, social talk with the other pax, and off the ship (sightseeing, shop, etc). -- Ari Silverstein, C.T.A; C.T.A.S, FREE Cruise Travel Advisory Services Sign up for special email deals @ www.CruiseQuick.com - Sells more cruises than 99% of the agencies in America.

Any other suggestions or recommendations are welcomed too. First, you picked a good time to cruise. Right after New Year's, prices tend to be down and the ships a whole lots less crowded. With the ultra luxury ships you have picked, kids wouldn't be a problem anyway. You didn't say how long you had but when we cruise, we prefer the Eastern/Southern routes and especially like to combine all three. I.E. would be many of the non transit to the Panama Canal (Lake Gatun) itineraries. Often these will swing thru the Caymans, Costa Rica, the ABCs over to the Grenadine and Windwards, Leewards up to the Virgins. -- Ari Silverstein, C.T.A; C.T.A.S, FREE Cruise Travel Advisory Services Sign up for special email deals @ www.CruiseQuick.com - Sells more cruises than 99% of the agencies in America.
