Re: Interested in a family cruise this year?

If you are being serious, I would totally go on a cruise!! I'll have to work my butt off over the summer to afford a cruise and tuition, but I think I can manage!

1. When would you prefer to cruise?
late winter, (Jan-Feb) since this is when we break. January, preferably.

2. How long would your ideal cruise last?
4 days, 5 nights. Enough time to do stuff on an island.

3. What destination?
Western Carribean (Cozumel, Belize, etc), because that is cheaper where we are standing.

4. Kids or Adults only?
Either, as long as I'm considered an "adult" :)

5. Completely casual, mostly casual, formal or something else?
Mostly casual. I agree with the wanting to dress up at least once.

6. Preferred Port of Embarkation?
Anywhere in Florida or Texas.

7. Price Range (per person)?
Less than $1000 per person, definately.

8. Preferred Cruise Line?
Not Carnival. I keep hearing unpleasant things about that line. Everything from lost luggage to lost people and awful labor practices.

9. If I ever went on a Cruise, things I would definitely want to do are...
Snorkel, eat at the "fancy" restaurant, go dancing, pretend I'm "flying Jack, I'm flying," check out an Island and get screwed over by the local people for a piece of plastic, swim, get a massage...

5 Dress as you like. Last time we dressed for dinner every night.
6 Tampa or Fort Lauderdale
7 1000 dollars or less per person
8 Royal Carabean
9 Hang out somewhere, Have a snack, Lounge in the lounges, Belly up to the bar, Sit on the bow, Stand on the stern, Lean on the rail, Dance the night away, and spin the tumbler (one arm bandet)
This would be great. We are 85 to 90% sure we can go. Thanks for the opportunity.
