As others have already said, beyond any shadow of doubt is it worth it!

I'd recommend you consider Crystal - there are dance Hosts on every cruise that provide dancing partners for women who want to dance but are partner-less, as well as dance classes (included in cost). It's a luxury (almost) all-inclusive cruise line so the cost is higher but it offers excellent value. However, there are only 2 cruise ships, so they may not be going where and when you want to go - but it's a great line for women who want to dance. On my Crystal cruise last spring I had two female tablemates who rushed away from dinner each night to go dancing - they chose Crystal because there would be Hosts for them to dance with.

 

(In the interest of fairness, Crystal recently added dance Hostesses to dance with un-partnered men as well.)

I actually saw that about Crystal. Even though it is a bit more expensive, it is still both within our budgets especially considering it's an all inclusive line.

They have some great Mediterranean cruises in the summer I see too. One basically will leave me off in Venice just before I need to be there, so I'm considering that one.

maybe a Dancing with the Stars cruise on HAL?

Looking into it! Thanks. :)

I'm glad I found this thread. Most of the responses have been extremely helpful.

This summer I'm looking to go on a cruise with my mother who hasn't been on one in more than 5 years. We generally know where we want to cruise to, but does anyone have any advice for which cruise lines/ships have the best ballroom dancing? My mother is more into the smooth style, while Latin is more my fancy.

I'll consider price differences on my own, as I'm willing to pay for a higher quality experience.
