Anyone ever been on a cruise

[Supertoaster]

I'm taking a cruise in 6 months to Mexico. It's my first time cruising. Anyone else ever taken one? How was it?

I've been on three, and I've really enjoyed then. They were all Carnivals. To be honest I enjoyed running around the ship more than the actual destination. And the unlimited food is amazing.

I've been on two. If you're socially awkward, it'll probably suck donkey dicks. As Marie said, take advantage of the free food, and it's best to be outside imo(that's the whole point of the cruise.)

Half of the fun for me just being on the beautiful fucking ship in the middle of the ocean. I love the ocean and ships etc. But what I'm looking forward to is being able to stuff my fucking fat face all day until I have a diabetic attack.

If anyone is wondering, for an interior cabin with two beds its roughly $650 a night with tax and gratuity per person not to mention transporation to and from the seaport.  Which is a really fucking good deal.

We want to take an Xmas cruise which leaves on the 22nd but it's $400 more expensive per person for the exact same cruise. It gets more expensive closer to the holidays.

I would just not take my ritalin on days where I want to be more wild.

Trust me my dear, there is plenty of that an more. The ships are really beautifu on the insidel, and the people on them usually aren't complete assholes since you're all stuck with each other for like a week. Ooo the beds are also fucking godly. God I wish we could go on another one.

hehe yeah. what carnival ships were you on? any pics?

I've heard that Princess is popular with honeymooners and a lot of people have their wedding on the ship but still a lot of fun activities for family. After we go on this one I kind of want to go on an Alaskan or Hawaiian cruise.

The only cruise I have ever been in

[Jhon]

My experience is kind of half-good and half-bad. I was on the MSC Fantasia, middle east trip and I think 99% of my enjoyment aboard the ship was because of the room I was in (+the benefits me and my family got with it).

First day was awesome just to see the ship, walk around the mall inside it and check out everything. Was hard to believe I'm inside a moving ship lol. Pools were too packed for me to enjoy, but the room I was in had access to a smaller pool + jaquzzis which were empty most of the time, so I got to enjoy that.
The food was awesome in every resturant or place with food, but careful not to eat too much. It might be just me, but my stomach was more sensetive on sea and lets say I learned that the hard way xD

To be honest, if not for the special access I had and the big room+balcony, for me it would've been a nightmare (it was a week's cruise so maybe also because of that). I mostly enjoyed the parts on land LOL.

If your cruise is a week or less then I bet you'll be fine. When you're there you should go to some high deck or someplace high outside at night.....Pretty awesome feeling to see the ship, with all of the lights and stuff, in the middle of the pitch black sea.....Somewhat scary and awesome at the same time =P

The ship I'm going on is the Sapphire Princess.

No offense but your ship doesn't have very good reviews 

56% of people on your ship liked the cruise compared to 82% on mine

Yeah I know. The thing is those 56% people weren't in Yacht club, which is what I was in and is a lot better than the normal, but that's the only cruise I've been to so I can't say for sure =P

I'm more of an "adventurous" / "extreme" trips fan, so maybe I'm not a good example xD

Hehe.

There are like two tiers of cruise lines.

Carnival, NCL, and RC, make up the three most mainstream and casual. Silversea, Crystal, and Celebrity are the "luxury" cruises.

Princess is sort of in between the "mainstream" and "luxury"

I went on the Pride twice and the Victory once. Victory was much nicer. I have some pictures around here, I'll look for them.
