[sherman]

any particular cruise line?

you can call Carnival direct and sometimes get a great deal....i have actually done well w/ local agencies for cruises....

i would also bet expedia etc have some deals.....


where ya going?

 

[hellah10]

hmmmm ya know...i never thought about expedia...i blindly thought of them as just airlines...

i would like to go to the caribbean...doesnt really matter which part...east, west, or south

5 days would be oh so nice

If you're a AAA (auto club) member go through their travel agency.

 

[hellah10]

also...how do these cruises work? the food is paid for?? what does my ticket to the cruise get me?

unfortunaly im not :sad3:

im with some All State autoclub...its like a generic version of AAA

Food is included in the ticket purchse. Liquor, tips, shopping and casino will require cash.

 

[hellah10]

hmmm

as much food as ya want? or they limit ya to 3 a day?

i heard they have a topless pool area at the very top of the ship? i may have to check that out

thx for replying

Normally the cruise price will include all food, lodging and entertainment. It will not include alcohol, shore excursions or gratuities.

I took a Carnival cruise this summer and it was OK. I had previously been on a Disney cruise and after talking to some regular cruisers about the differences they told me Carnival is considered the value cruise line of the industry.

i heard they have a topless pool area at the very top of the ship?

Yes they do but you will not see the kind of topless women you're hoping for...

Bring sweatpants on the cruise because you can eat all you want as often as you want on cruises. Midnight buffet, mmmm...

 

[hellah10]

so Carnival is not good compared to others?

to be honest with ya...i didnt even know there were others lol

I would first ask friends or family, because you can get a real bargain then be a nightmare.

When I say ask friends or family that have taken a cruise, this is only to get an idea on what to expect.

Three seated meals and then there is a deli, pizza shop and snack bar which are also free and open almost 24 hours.

I'm not the authority. I've only been on Disney and Carnival. You get what you pay for. Disney was about 4x as much money but everything was noticably more "polished" and the food was AWESOME.

 

[hellah10]

ok i went to that site that nuts posted...and i have to pick a boat? arent they all the same

what ship would you guys recommend...for Carnival - unless you guys dont recommend Carnival
