Thread: New to Cruise

Hi Welcome, your question is a little vague, if you say a little about what your expectations are (eg do you enjoy a formal or casual atomsphere, age, with/without children, length of the voyage, departure point (Europe, Caribbean etc) and your budget, I'm sure you get some postive feedback.

Hi and welcome to www.cruiselinefans.com

John, you are going to have to give us a few more details. That is like asking someone what is the best way to get to Chicago without giving them your point of origin. Directions would be a lot different if the party is coming from London rather than from Bloomington!

Welcome to CLF - the friendliest board on the net!! You'll love it here because everyone is readily available to help you, so ask away.

As for helping you find the right cruise, as others have said, you really need to provide more information as to what you are looking for.

Best advice right now is to go to the major cruise lines' websites and look around. Keep in mind that pricing shown is without tax and varies by length, date, and type of cabin (inside, oceanview, balcony, or suite).

But do not book it through the cruise line.

When you've got some good ideas and want to start narrowing down the choices, talk to a reputable cruise specialist. Their prices will be exactly the same as the cruise lines, sometimes even better, but they represent you. So should you have any problems or need anything, they are there to assist you.

Keep in mind that everyone has their own opinion on what the best cruise is, so it's important to find the right one for you based on your requirements, lifestyle, and budget.
