Re: What is your opinion on Cruises?
I love cruises. I went on Royal Carribean in 2000 to Bermuda and it was great. There are so many things to do on the boat. Me and DH loved playing bingo, and at night they have a show and clubs. The off shore excursions are expensive but defintely worth it. Hope this helps.

Re: What is your opinion on Cruises?
I took a cruise for my HM and totally loved it! We took Royal Caribbean which left from New Jersey and was 10-days in the Caribbean
Its a great, all-inclusive vacation and such a no-brainer .. very relaxing, enjoyable and too much food but awesome.
My parents did the cruise from NY to Canada and loved it, I think it was on Celebrity Cruises?
Any questions I'd be happy to help!

I enjoy crusies. If you want a non- tropical cruise Alaska is amazing!!! My parents did the Canada cruise and had a great time.

I know tell me about it. I gained 10 pounds when I went on mine. Thats one thing you will never have to worry about, there is so much food. Even if you are hungry at 2am, there is food available.

Thank you all for your responses. We're looking into the one to Canada I'm just nervous about getting sick

I get very sea sick on small or mid-size boats but the cruise boats are so big that you get used to the small motions really quickly. I won't say you can't feel it at all, but it's minimal.
I only got sick on 1, and it was in the gulf of Mexico during December - very choppy. But the rest (I've been on 5 altogether) not one problem at all!!

We love cruising. We booked another for this summer. We have only used Celebrity and we love them. I am part of a frequent cruise program that they have.

Re: What is your opinion on Cruises?
We went to Canada 3 years ago on Carnival out of New York. We loved it. Canada was beautiful. The ship was awesome. We had massages, spa treatments, relaxed, played in the casino, etc. There is so much to do it is great. I loved it. Can't wait to go on another one. We went in September and the boat was a little rocky at times. I have sea legs so I didn't get sick at all. I have been fishing with my Dad since I was a little girl. But I think the water was extra rough in one spot. Nothing to worry about. Keep drinking and the seasickness will go away...lol. Oh yea they also have nightclubs and plenty of bars to go to. Ask me any questions. Also have some pictures I can email you if you like.

For sea sickness use Ginger pills. We used them on our HM in the South pacific, there were rough seas one day the stuff is amazing. It does not make you droozy either.

Love, Love, Love cruises!!!
I've been on three so far. Carnival, Disney and Princess. I'm sure the cruise to Canada would be beautiful. I'm just used to laying out on the deck in the warm sun....ahh...to be there now...

Re: What is your opinion on Cruises?
My mother went on the Canadian cruise out of NYC and really loved it.
I'm not a huge fan of cruising b/c I've always felt rushed at port and I never get a feel for the culture of the port I'm at because of it.
I also like to eat out at port, not on the ship unless we are at sea, so I feel like I'm wasting money.

My FH and I did a cruise on Royal Carribean out of NY and we loved it so much we go on one every year. You'll love it and trust me you won't even feel the ship moving..

Re: What is your opinion on Cruises?
I LOVE cruises - I've been on 3 of them, but all to tropical islands. I love not having to think about where to eat dinner and participating in on-board activities. It's a very different type of vacation, but I think it's perfect for me, b/c I always like to be doing something and on the go.
