I went on the Disney boat with my kids a couple of years ago and I didn't
like it. Too many kids! I like my kids, but not other peoples' kids.

My sons were 2 1/2 years old and 6 months old when we went...which was too
young for them to take advantage of the on-board camps and kids
activities.
If they were older, we probably would have had a better time. To top it
off, we all left the boat with strep throat.

My favorite boats have been Princess and Celebrity. Royal Caribbean was
OK,
as was NCL. The highlight of the NCL cruise was that we had an aft 2-room
penthouse with a balconey that stretched across 1/3 of the ship. If I had
known what that balconey was like, I would have brought 50 weight
rods/reels
and high-speed trolling lures. ;-)

I just don't get the fascination with cruise ships - don't understand
it.

Seems boring to me.

You can get top-notch food at almost any hour of the day.

You get to see a lot of different ports of call...which helps you decide
where you want to travel to on your next vacation.

They're great...as long as you steer clear of the over-priced excursions
that they sell on board. You can always negotiate better deals (with more
personal freedom) if you get off the boat and book it on your own.
