Pros: Staff, home is Port of New Orleans (mine, too), the balcony room
Cons: Size of ship, anemic bar selections at reasonable prices, selling taken to the limit
Summary: I took my second ocean cruise ever in December 2002. I have to admit that, although I shy from cruise because of the herding people thing, the prices are extremely alluring. For $1,000 my husband and I were able to cruise for 7-days in a balcony room on ... read more

Summary: This was my third cruise with my wife and first with our child. We spent about $1300 for an outside stateroom which was far less than for the other cruises we have been on. We only paid $199 for our son (seemed like a real bargain). Turns out he was ... read more

Cons: Crowded pool deck on sea days, revenue-hungry contractors in the spa and shops.

Pros: Everything. While the price of the cruise may seem steep, when you compare total expenses for the cruise and airfare with a week at Disney, the cruise comes out cheaper.
Cons: You have to claim your deck chairs early to get a good one.
Summary: Having tired of the yearly trek to Disney World for spring break, my wife and I decided to try a week long cruise with our two children (ages 10 and 6). After checking out just about every cruise line for good ports and childrens programs, we chose the ... read more

Summary: I haven't always been a fan of cruising. In fact, at one time the concept was probably the farthest thing from my mind. Me, stuck on a cruise ship, for a week, with all those people? I thought I'd go out of my mind.
You see, I'm not known as ... read more
