Thank you everyone for your inputs, while I juggle between the daily work, harsh winter and kids. I will read through them and will let you folks know how it goes. 

Much much appreciated. !!

Forgot to say, Welcome to Cruise Critic! It is all you said and more. Have you found the Ports-of-Call boards?

Thank you for the boards, I am such a noob in this forum and was unable to find the right boards. 

Hi All, 

Hello from Calgary. Thanks for this wonderful knowledge base and forum on cruising - I was amazed by the content and discussions in the forums. Saying that I would like to ask for 2 directed questions if anyone can help. We did a RC cruise last year in the Caribbean for 7 days last year and we were simply blown away by the things one can do on a cruise. So many mental blocks and myths were dispelled from the day 1 of cruising. We want to do our next few holidays on cruises and see how it goes. 

- We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids (less than 14 years)) and are planning for two cruises one in 2024 and maybe one in 2025 or 2026.

- We are looking for a Greek Isles Cruise (Budget and also good in terms of ship, dining and onshore excursions). What would be a few options for us to look at ?

- Also, for a Alaska cruise in 2025 or 2026 - we are considering Holland American Line seeing the reviews and reading the details and experiences of cruisers on the forums. What would be the best time to book this trip? please help.
