For a wedding, you have a point.

 

Cruise ships are not weddings, they are vacations. Some people have to dress nice on a daily basis, and want to get away from that. Others are looking for as much of a beach retreat as possible. And others want to pack as little as they can get away with and still have a good time.

 

We love to dress up- but I would hardly call it formal.

 

Here's what I don't get- why do people get bent out of shape based on what other people do and look like? (assuming, of course, it does not actually impact you) How people dress does not impact you what so ever. So why care about it- I'm on MY vacation, I'm NOT going to take the time to give a crap about how you dress or look. And I don't expect you to care about my loud shirt that is not tucked in on formal night.

 

When you go to a wedding, it's out of respect for the invitation that you received. When you go on vacation, it's your time.

Just move to a more expensive line. Seriously, we have spent a lot of time on Princess over the past few years and felt the same as you about the general ambience and especially the food. We just tried Azamara and will be using them and Oceania/Seabourne in future. Smaller ships make an very significant difference and the price hike keeps the ‘bogans’ away. We have decided that we don’t care if we cruise less frequently, it will have to be so if we choose the more costly lines but at least we enjoy it when we are onboard, versus feeling annoyed or downright angry about everything.

On norwegian epic in 2 bedroom Haven. 4 adults. All agree Haven worth every dime. Huge ship only Haven gives you no waiting ever. IMO

I guess do your homework before so you know if it is a bargain. Not sure I would bite if not a best price guarantee. We're booked on the Norwegian Epic and I suspect the cruise line starts to get "about to sail jitters" if they have empty cabins on these big ships.

For experienced cruisers: Have you found that it is less expensive to book your next cruise with the cruise lines representative on the cruise you are already on? Specifically, will they do a best price guarantee for your next cruise with their line? Thanks for any info.
