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. :)

Years ago, we took a western Caribbean cruise on Celebrity and loved it. Its target audience is folks who are more into shows and really good food than the party and drinking scenes. Being foodies, we were attracted to them by their being the best reviewed dining of the major cruise lines (that and the lack of the all-night party crowd).

Big plus for Celebrity -- two of their ships have a mini Cirque du Soleil show on-board. Let me know if you need the details on this, I've got their latest at home (we're thinking about going on a cruise next spring)

One (biggish) plus for Disney is that, given their target audience, their cabins are significantly larger than competing cruise lines.
