Thread: When looking for a cruise what is the fIrst thing you look at?

I look at the ports first- I usually have a couple ideas about what I want to see. Then I look at what ship will take me there.

The itinerary is always our first consideration.

Itinerary first. We won't cruise western caribbean anymore. Fed up of being hasseled in Cozumel and Jamaica. Then the price, cruise line and ship.

hmmm - usually I look at the departure port because I don't like to fly - LOL

Time to reconsider. Line first, then price.

I, (even though I've never cruised, but I'm looking into it) look at different ships or cruise lines because I want a ship thats fun and exciting. It doesnt matter what itinerary I cruise, although the price DOES matter for me!

Well I am willing to visit places more than once and have limited months we can travel so I look at price. Living in Southern California we have easy access to three ports and the cruise lines leaving from all three offer great ships. We haven't cruised enough to have any perks.
