Cruisin'

[msmemory_archive]

We're thinking that maybe it's time to try a cruise instead of a resort for vacation at the end of May. Any experiences to relate, good or bad, with specific cruise lines or packagers? Especially, comments on the food and the noise/chaos level. :) Other cruising advice? (I've already read Ian's message from this spring.)

ETA: when I say "noise/chaos" I'm thinking of all types, from young exuberant children, to packs of mall-rat teens, to geezers who think that 6 a.m. is "sleeping in." It's not (just) about young kids. :)

i have been on one cruise only, Royal Carribiean to the Bahamas. It was very good. even the el cheapo cabin. i never saw or heard kids. the shows while cheesy were fun. the excursions were awesome (buy in advance) the food was glorious and plentiful. (ask for the later seating to not see the kids)

i did nto have time to go and hang i nthier pool, so can't say how noisy that was re: kids etc.
