I have been on rccl and am taking a carnival cruise in about six weeks! I have heard of a luxury line called Seabourn these are supposed to be top notch! I enjoy cruising with the masses! My question is is seabourn the type of line where they say "if you have to ask you can't afford it?" Just had to ask!

If you like cruising with the masses then don't waste your money. Seaborn ships are wonderful, but you will pay for the experience. The ships are much smaller, more like very large luxury yachts, and have about 200-250 passengers, therefore they can get into ports the large cruise ships can not. But also they cannot provide the variety of entertainment available on the larger ships.
Each cruise line has it's own strong points. Apparently, your next cruise is on a fun ship. The carnival cruises have been noted for having the best entertainment available.
If you are young, with a family or single, then stick with the Princess/ Carnival cruises.
They are all enjoyable in their own way.

First of all, the top cruise lines all have a hefty price for their cruises. For example a 7-day cruise on Seaborn or Raddison will start at about $5,000 vs about $1500 for a balcony on a RC, NCL, Princess or Celebrity ship. But you get what you pay for. The cabins are larger and come with more amenities like tubs as well as showers, robes, concierge service and more room in the cabin. The dinners are more formal and usually include wine or champaign. Some prices include all of the gratuities, plus air and transfers. Then the ships are smaller and there are fewer passengers. So you get more service for your money.
So its not like you have to ask after you get on ship. If you can afford to reserve it and pay the price, you know it up front.
One of these days I may treat myself to one of these cruises just to see if I feel they are worth the extra money.
