What should a cruise line do - besides offering a discount - to capture your business?

Offer more cruises from ports other than Florida and California. Homeport more ships at other ports around the country

I would like to see better loyalty programs!

I would like to see the lines become more consistant with the quality of food on their ships. You can have a wonderful dining experience on one ship and a very disappointing experience on another ship belonging to the same cruise line.

New itineraries with different islands would definitely capture my business. I'd love to go somewhere new in the Caribbean.

We would love to see more cruise lines and ships in the Gulf ports of Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. We would be able to drive to port!

I look for ships with good food, lots of good entertainment, good service, interesting ports, and a clean and comfy ship. I read a lot of reviews before I book. I also would like to see more ships with Catholic Mass onboard on Sundays, or later in the evening on Saturday evening, along with the religious holidays.

I would like to see varying itineraries. Changing port of calls around so you don't go to the same places over and over again would go a long way to hold people to the same cruise line.

I think I will agree with , more ports of call. Also more times of the year to visit these ports. EX: No cruise goes to Canada from New York in June, July, August, except Princess.
