When choosing a cruise, and cruise line, there are many factors to keep in mind, especially if this is your first time. Before making any selections, be sure you know (continued at http://www.bookrentbuy.com/The-Different-Kinds-Of-Cruise-Vacations.shtml )

The only bad cruise is the one I'm not on. Seriously, its my goal to try every line, to every port. I've done 4 cruises, 2 lines and 14 countries so far. After the Caribbean we'll move to Alaska and the Mediterranean.

I just went on an Alaskan cruise on Holland America Line. I loved every minute of it, and can't wait to go on another cruise.
HAL has smaller boats--their largest one only carries 2000 pax vs. 3000+ on some other lines. Our boat, the Amsterdam, only carries 1380, and our cruise wasn't fully booked.
There was tons of things to do during the day and I never felt confined or like I was going crazy being stuck on a boat.
HAL caters more towards retirees so there wasn't tons of young people on the boat, but that didn't keep me from meeting lots of cool people. It was not a 'party cruise' or 'booze cruise' like some other cruise lines. There also wasn't a ton of kids running around either (a plus in my opinion).

I have been on numerous cruises. I've found that people either love them - or hate them. There's not inbetween.
I prefer Royal Caribbean and Princess. Have been on Disney also and NCL.
Depends on where you want to go. Best time is May or September - prices are usually the lowest at that time.

Yes...I've been on 7 cruises I have to say in my opinion a Royal Caribbean cruise is the best. I sailed this summer for the first time. I've sailed on Carnival, but I enjoyed Royal. They both cater to the younger crowd, more of a party-family type cruise...Royal is a tad bit more sophisticated. The site I use is cruisesonly.com...if you go enjoy!

I've been on 22 cruises. You need to find one that appeals to your age group, interests, and costs what you want to spend. There are cruises that go literally everywhere in the world, so you have to decide it you want to visit beaches, archeological sights, natural wonders, canals, foreign continents. There is something for everyone. Not every cruise has people who say "Frisco." Not every ship has a fast crowd. A good travel agent can guide you.

I just got back a week ago from a Glacier Bay (Alaska) cruise. It was seven nights on the Carnival Spirit. It was beautiful! We saw the glaciers, brown bear, bald eagles and tons of salmon. The ship was huge and beautiful. I would highly recommend this cruise yet they are done sailing there until next spring.

Been on Royal Caribbean 3 times.
1. Empress of the Seas - NY to Bermuda
2. Empress of the Seas - PA to Bermuda
3. Enchantment of the Seas - FL to Key West/Cozumel/Coco Cay.
Coco Cay is amazing and i didn't want to leave!

The best one I have been on is Carnival cruise from San Juan. We borded in San Juan then went to St. Thomas, Barbados, Dominica, and Aruba, and then back to San Juan. St. Thomas is beatiful.

We have been on 14 cruises and have loved everyone of them. Choose a good cruise line like Celebrity, Princess or Royal Caribbean.
