Hello crusiecritic forum,
My family and I (ages 54, 50, 24, 21) are looking to go on a cruise this year (in late February). We want to go somewhere in the Carribean and area (Belize, and the Bahamas have been popular destinations to talk about) for about 6-8 days, but we are having trouble picking a cruise line. We are pretty sure we want to leave from Miami, Fort Lauderdale or Orlando. Just nowhere too north so that we don't have an extra day on the boat cruising in the cold (Jersey or Boston). Each of us has different expectations for a cruise which I think is making it difficult. My mom just wants to be able to "lay by the pool" and, my dad wants a line that isn't seriously crowded and is under budget ($1600 and under per person), then my brother and I want a cruise line where we can go on cool excursions and have a clean room. Essentially, I need a non-crowded pool, clean and fairly updated rooms, and excursions that I'm not going to be bored on. Needless to say, it is proving to be a difficult task. I have looked at Carribean, Celebrity, Norweigan, and Carnival but they all seem to say the exact same thing. Any help and advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!!!
