Disser Pointon Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Any experienced cruisers out there, thinking about booking our first one? Just looking for advice on which agents are good at putting things together etc. Looking for one which is family friendly and preferably either all inclusive or where the drinks packages aren't ridiculous. Going to be a special holiday so I know it won't be cheap and ideally it would be Caribbean although I'm open to other suggestions. Expecting to pay up to £10 all in for either 4 or 5 of us depending whether the second oldest decides to tag along, would that be about right? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Going on my first cruise next Wednesday, didn't use an agent, just booked everything myself online. Booked the cruise directly with Royal Caribbean, you often get the best price and best deals booking direct and for 2019 bookings they currently have the Deluxe Drinks & Wi-Fi package flung in for free.

The usual medical cover starts at £5m+ so you won't have any issues there, the more the better though. I always go for £10m+. If you or your missus have any pre-existing medical conditions it is important to declare them at the time of your quote, as I've heard several horror stories of people trying to save a few £'s and ending up owing £000's when something goes wrong. You can get decent policies online from any of the usual comparison sites, it's were I always buy mine and I have pre-existing medical conditions.

Armageddon Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) We've been on 2. Sensational. Both with Royal Caribbean, the first was round the Caribbean leaving from Miami and the second round the Med leaving from Barcelona. The food is amazing, sitting on your balcony hearing the waves is unreal, arriving at your destination when you've been sleeping is the dugs nuts and it's all totally luxurious. We were on the Navigator of the Seas both times, at the time it was the largest in the world, now it's 13th just in RC's fleet.

Wonderful, as we got to see lots of places we wanted to see, and did it all in a oner. If you can afford to, get a balcony, it's just wonderful sitting there with a beer/wine and watching the open sea or the coastline etc. Also get a drinks package, I think we saved £000's of pounds by doing so.

JimmyCant Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) We’ve done 2 with another booked for 2023 We’re moderate ish drinkers at home but you need to remember that everything at night on a cruise is drink accessible. I’d definitely get a drinks package of some kind. We didn’t on one of the cruises and our bill was eye watering. It all adds up, drinks with lunch, drinks by the pool, drinks before during and after dinner, drinks at the theatre and maybe late drinks in a couple of nights. I’m not talking about getting leathered every night either We the med both times. I’ve never fancied the Caribbean because all the destinations seem so similar (unless you can work Cuba into the itinerary) The med IMO gives a better variety of stops, even though your only in port for 10-12 hours, we like to see places we might go back to. Id recommend Thomson’s and Celebrity. We also did a P&O one where the food was the best but the drinks were pricey, even if you did a package (we didn’t) If you don’t like crowds, pick a smaller ship. 6000 people on a boat the size of 3 football pitches can be claustrophobic and seating space and restaurant times can be hard to find. This is a good year to go as many of the ships are operating at 50-70% capacity whilst there is still Covid around Edited May 5, 2022 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Good revival of this thread, with people now looking at options not available during Covid. The end of our last cruise coincided with the arrival of Covid in the UK. We were latecomers to cruises but quickly got the bug. For what it is worth we prefer - smaller ships but not too small - 3000 preferred to 6000 capacity -apart from the scale of the ship itself in smaller ports the cruise day trippers can detract from the local atmosphere - the med from Southampton now our preference avoiding long haul flights and airports and offering a huge range of different ports countries and cultures without too many days at sea. - cruises in med and indeed Europe great for finding places for a short break that you would be unlikely to come across otherwise - cruise lines all have strengths and weaknesses but liked all of Celebrity, Princess, P&O and Cunard with the last two being worth the higher price. Have been advised to avoid Italian lines which can be particularly noisy. We return to cruising later this year to Greek Islands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Vancouver has a massive cruise ship industry in the summer, thousands of passengers go through the Port. My title as the Chief Superintendent of Police, was Director Police and Security, for the Port of Vancouver. It was our primary job in the summer we hired a large number of Security Guards for the season. It was excellent to mingle with the people and ensure that the security was stringent but that the people being protected never realised it was happening.

The braver souls/tightwads alighted the same rickety old train I would take to work in their efforts to get to Carthage. They all looked caught halfway between being glad to be off the boat and terrified of having arrived in Arab Africa. Think I'd do what someone else advised above and just drink and eat my way through the boat while everyone else toddled off to get themselves pickpocketed and scammed. Went to Agadir in Morocco on a cruise took excursion to Taroudant which was nice but constant pestering Meanwhile some of the people went to the beach at Agadir and were robbed of their sweaty old T-shirts at knifepoint Another old guy got off boat just to say he had set foot on Moroccan soil and walked the length of the ship but was mugged ! Did Canaries and Agadir cruise another twice and in Agadir we would wave the other passengers off and almost have the boat and bars to ourselves for the day Edited May 6, 2022 by manaliveits105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous 1874 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Cruises are a quality holiday. Great food and entertainment whilst you visit numerous new places for the day. I’ve been on about 7 all with P&O. Fantastic experience. They are not affiliated with P&O Ferries btw. Can get some great deals especially if you can travel out-with the school holidays, try planet cruises for the best deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 We have done 3 cruises, 2 on Disney ships - expensive, tips and alcoholic drinks not included but the service and food is incredible. One cruise from Cape Carnaveral to Bahamas and the other New York to Bermuda. The other was with MSC through Western Med - upgraded to Aurea experience which gave full alcoholics drink packages, access to spa and private Aurea club member pool and sun deck. Excellent all round. Disney quality was better but this was still very good. Watched the champions league final in the Casino bar! Waking up in a new city every day is just excellent. Ships are so large with thousands of passengers but you never seem to feel like that there is that many people on board. Love a cruise, so I do.
