DebbieandJerry Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 We've touched upon this in the past, but I was hoping to spur new conversation... How do you decide your next cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Usually, it starts with the itinerary and dates. Next is the cruiseline and ship. Finally its the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketwatch Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 It has to be the itinerary first. we seldom repeat going to where we have already been. Then its the cruise line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieandJerry Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Usually it's itinerary for us. Then we look at cost per day. Once those 2 are figured out, then we'll pick the date. We've been struggling on our next cruise, however. Ships are cutting out/back "at sea days". We love at sea days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamigirl40 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm looking for the best price on a 5 day cruise and would like to go late August or September. I have to take the airfare into consideration. Unless I drive to the closest port which would be Baltimore or NJ. Anyone have recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have recommendations There is a 5 day Bermuda Cruise on the Explorer of the Seas to Bermuda during that time period out of Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ. I'm not sure of which type of cabin you prefer, but an inside starts at about $550. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalise12 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Jackie And I first look at the Itinerary, the length of the cruise and the port of departure than check out the price of a balcony and cruise lines than we book. We also don't mind flying to a port, but we stay away from using the cruise lines airfare, the way they route you and the prices is ridiculous, after working in the airline business for over 25 yrs and knowing the trick of the trade, I can get there faster and less monies. We plan for months ahead of time for airfares, hotels, local transportation. Happy Cruising!! John & Jackie scalise12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetarp Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 For our big vacation, We generally start with the destination - find which lines fit into our time frame and work from there. However, since we can more or less go on very short notice I'm always on the look-out for a last minute deal as well. If the price is right I don't care where the ship is going and really don't even care on which line (with some exceptions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamigirl40 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Thank you, I will look into that one. Do you recommend a travel sight or should I go to AAA.
