I have never been on a cruise, my wife has been on one, a Carnival cruise.

I would like to go one a cruise, but don't really know what to look for, so
I have come to the experts in hopes of getting some information. I hope that
I'm not asking too much here...

1) We would prefer to cruise from Galveston, TX or New Orleans, LA (I think
they cruise from there). We are in DFW area, and want to avoid airfare.

No problem, Carnival and Royal Caribbean (RCCL) both have cruises out
of Galveston

2) Could care less about a casino. If it's there we may send $50 or so, but
we won't be disappointed if there isn't one onboard.

They all have casinos.

3) I would think that a room with a window would be nice, but is it really
worth the extra money?

It sounds like you are on a tight budget. I would forget about the
window unless it seemed important to me.

4) I work nights, so I keep weird hours. I would like a cruise that offers
hamburgers or something late nights if needed.


5) We have a 9 year old son that would like to cruise with us. Should we
leave him at home or take him?

Your choice.

6) As far as the cost of the cruise, we really don't have much to spend, so
we need to keep the cost as low as possible.

7) The length of the cruise isn't that important. 7 day would be nice, but
probably out of our price range at this time. Time of year isn't important
either. We can go anytime.

Go for seven days.

Do you have any idea's or recommendations on a cruise?

Here's a pretty inexpensive one, although it is getting into hurricane
season:
