We'd like to take a family cruise this summer. It would be me, my wife, and 2 daughters (17 and 14). Depending on the dates, the 17 year old may be 18. Her birthday is 6/21. We aren't really picky about cruise lines, or really even the itinerary. We'd like to cruise out of Charleston, Jacksonville, or Canaveral (or anywhere in between). Anywhere from 4-7 days depending on cost. What sites would we be able to get the best deals from? submitted by /u/RunningThroughSC [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I won a poker tournament. Prize is $1250 credit towards a cruise, and a 1200 entry into the poker tournament. It's Oct 27- Nov 3 on Norwegian Jade, sailing out of Miami. I can't make the cruise due to other obligations. Are we allowed to sell here? If not, where could I potentially sell this? I've got numerous positive feedbacks on various different platforms. submitted by /u/HonestFool03 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello all. Just for fun I placed a bid upgrade of $310 to go from balcony to mini suite. We are a family of three of us staying together. Do you think it’s a waste of money or well worth it? submitted by /u/Choice-Helicopter-66 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is it allowed to buy pharmaceuticals at the little roadside pharmacies in like cozumel port or costa maya and then bring those pills back on the ship? I would love to find my Adderall for cheaper than I pay here but I am a rule follower and don't want to risk bringing them back on the ship if it's not allowed. ​ submitted by /u/binxlyostrich [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Planning to take Alaska cruise mid-may and torn between two Alaska cruise options with similar prices. They are both from HAL. Option 1: 7-day round-trip from Seattle with Balcony room (I am Seattle resident). Option 2: 11-Day Double Denali from Vancouver with Inside room. Spend two night in Denali and fly back to Seattle. This will be my first time in Alaska and in taking cruise. Please advise what could provide the better experience. submitted by /u/Adorable_Store_4271 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've finally made a spreadsheet to help choose the most cost-effective trip for 3 (1 adult; 2 teens - 18 & 17 at the time of sailing) round-trip out of Seattle (flying from Atlanta) for Sept. 2025. We are on the heavier side so I opted for a family cabin to suit us, I know it could be cheaper but I don't know the bedding options in those cabins. If any seasoned AK cruiser could help pick which line and why (we've never been) to see which would be the best option to spend this much $ for a balcony cabin. Caveat: I know we could get inside or oceanview cabins but IMO I don't want to see AK ..read more

End of May, I’ve always been super nervous and scared being on water that long. Everyone assures il enjoy it. So I agreed to go with family. My husband said there used to be a formal dinner one night. My luggage already full now il need to add Formal wear? He doesn’t want to wear a suit & tie. He wants to wear a nice shirt and slacks. We will be on Marinar of the Seas submitted by /u/Temporary_Metal6490 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Our Virgin cruise got rescheduled because of a medivac, Roatan was out and Cozumel was in. They also changed our Costa Maya port day so everyone was scrambling. We chose to do the Fury catamaran excursion in Cozumel and I liked it. It is a sail cat but we motored the whole way. There might have been 60 people on board with the best seats in the center at the tables in the shade so get there early fo these. Some had to sit in the sun, I would have fried. Basically you motor for 30 to 40 minutes to the snorkel spot and then go to their private beach resort. They have beer and margaritas on boar ..read more

Hello Everyone! I'm looking to go on a Caribbean cruise in June 2025 and wanted to get some port/excursion recommendations. The whole search process is a little overwhelming! I'll be going with 4 other people and we all have pretty much the same interests. Big, sandy beaches, beautiful waters, and some sort of shopping. We aren't really interested in any tours/history excursions. Mainly just big beaches we can relax on all day with food! I've been doing some research on all the Caribbean ports, but I just wanted some honest opinions from other cruisers. We don't plan on traveling too far from ..read more

We are currently sailing on the Scarlet Lady and just had breakfast at The Wake. While we were waiting for our meal, a group of people came in and just stood and chatted with the people next to us. They didn’t have a reservation, but were just there to meet up with the couple next to us and wait for them to finish their meal. Initially, the group sat at a table across from the couple who was eating, but the servers asked them to move because the table was reserved for people who were there to eat. The group then moved in between our table and the table of the people they were meeting. Literal ..read more
