    First Time Cruiser : Best cruise line for the Caribbean

    in First Time Cruisers

    Posted · Edited by Host Walt

    Thank you for your response. I have one other question, you mentioned the following:

     

    "There are some cruises that by their nature become adults only, and some lines have ships that are adults only. P&O-UK have three ships that are 18+ and Viking Ocean is also 18+."

     

    What is a P&)-UK?

     

     

    Welcome to Cruise Critic.

    Carnival Corp. consists of a number of lines, starting with Carnival as the least expensive, and Seabourn as the most expensive. In between are Princess and Holland America, and in Europe are Costa, AIDA, P&O-UK, Cunard. Each has their champions and which you sail often depends on itinerary and budget. Cabins range from insides which are the least expensive, and suites which are the most. It's all what you are willing to pay for. It's just your bedroom, the rest of the ship is your living/dining/entertainment area.

     

    To avoid engine or party noise, choose a cabin on a deck that has cabins on the decks above and below.

     

    Cruise lines do a great job catering to special diest, such as allergies, gluten free, vegetarian and vega, etc.

     

    There are some cruises that by their nature become adults only, and some lines have ships that are adults only. P&)-UK have three ships that are 18+ and Viking Ocean is also 18+.

     

    Aft is the back (stern) area of the ship, and fore is forward, or toward the front (bow) of the ship.

     

    I don't know of any singles clubs, but there are forums here for solo cruisers, singles, and 55+. There are online websites that run singles groups and match you with a roommate if you wish. We can't name them here as it is against the community guidelines to name or discuss travel agencies/agents. EM

    I am looking to start my cruise get-away. I have been reading some of the blogs however, I'm looking for a specific discussions (or suggestions) relating to the following:

     

    Which one of the Carnival cruise lines is better? What cabin on the ship is better (not expensive)?

     

    I prefer not to be close to any engine or party noises while in my cabin.

     

    Does cruise liners accommodate for special dietary needs?

     

    Is there any adult only cruises?

     

    What does abt (or aft) mean? (I saw this abbreviation while reading some of the articles on cruise.)

     

    Is there any cruise Clubs such as Singles' Club or 55+ Clubs?
