What are the best and worst cruise lines?
Hi
Delurking here. Dawn Princess May 03, 10 day Hawaiian, elegant and excellent service, good food after the first 2 days, but never again as 80 % of passengers were 60 + and most activities catered to this age group. Hubby & I are in our mid 40's -50's and young at heart. The few teens on board during the 5 sea days up to Vancouver took to pressing buttons on elevators to alleviate boredom.It was too cold to sit outside. Carnival Triumph Jan 04, 7 day Western, bad layout of ship, bad cabin service, saw the cabin steward once, good food and dining service, more action and activities, families on board. Celebrity Century Feb 05, 7 day Eastern, classic ship but never again after being awakened by the engines several times in the wee hours, noise just about tossed you out of bed, good cabin service, excellent dining service. Food okay but fish entrees much of the time salty and overcooked. Surprised at the number of kids on board. I thought Celebrity was less of a family line. Carnival Legend Mar 06, 8 day Southern Caribbean, again we choose Carnival since we wanted an active party boat with young adults to liven things up but we were disppointed. Age group was primarily 55+, few children and young adults. Low key cruise. Husband was bored and is rethinking cruising for next winter. Any recommendations as to ensure we end up on a activity filled party boat. I thought Carnival was the one to go with but after our experience on the Legend I really don't know.I thought I read somewhere that the southern cruises tend towards an older crowd. Should we stick to the west/east cruises? What's a Panama cruise like? Roseanne (cruise addicted) wrote in message ups.com... Which ones do you love and which ones don't you care for? If you can, could you please rank them? I'm curious to see which cruise lines are considered the best and which ones are at the botom of the barrel? Thanks. |

If having younger folks on your cruise is a priority, you need to take cruises that are 7 days or less, and cruise when schools are out. Of course you'll have to deal with lots of kids.

For someone who cares little for fine cuisine, opulent accommodations, and
such, someone with a simple lifestyle, Silverseas, Regent, Crystal, and other luxury lines may be the bottom of the barrel. For those who have an active lifestyle, enjoy an electric atmosphere and enjoy the dining experience, Carnival may be the best. Best and worst in this case are highly subjective and heavily dependent on personal likes and dislikes. Charlie wrote in message ups.com... Which ones do you love and which ones don't you care for?

For a more active ship, look for Royal Caribbean's Voyager Class ships. --Tom |

It was a very old crowd and everything closed down early. For a more active ship, look for Royal Caribbean's Voyager Class ships. Good advice! sue |
