2 college girls and 2 moms

[sunshineminnie]

Hi there,

 

My daughter and I went on a great senior trip with her best friend and her mom. We would love for the 4 of us to go on a senior trip when they graduate from college.

 

What is a good cruise line for our group? I have been on Disney cruises with the family and Royal caribbean with a friend. I am interested in being on a ship that has some great adult only areas to really chill out and be away from the crowds. I know that Disney offers this and I loved the spa on our vacation. However, Disney may be a little out of the price range for this trip.

 

My daughter, her friend and I are active and would love to do some fun activities. The other mom is more of a shopper type. I think that when we are not busy scuba diving and such, we would prefer to be able to just really relax on the ship. None of us are big party types but would have fun dancing and seeing shows.

 

We would more than likely travel either in January or May.

 

Thanks of your help!

You should talk to a travel agent.

 

Here you're going to get the Princess fans telling you to try Princess, the Royal Caribbean fans telling you to take RC, the HAL fans telling you to take HAL, etc.

 

With a cruise specialist travel agent you'll get what's best for you.

Well.../Disney is still a great option...but in truth, ANY cruise line will fill the bill!

Carnival, RCI and NCL probably have more for the kids...adults can find "adult" spaces anywhere.

What you've described you can get on pretty much all the mass market lines at any time.

Just pick a date, do a search and see what pops up.

Since you've done RC before, you may want to stick with that.

When you plan to go will dictate the cruise line choice. Between May and October, sometimes later, most of the ships that sail the Caribbean will have gone to Europe and Alaska. therefore, your choices will be carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and maybe very short Bahamas cruises on NCL. EM

Carnival Magic or Breeze, nice active vibe for the college set and quiet areas for adults.

Thank you everyone! Looks like it's time to start researching!

Go to http://www.cruisetimetables.com, click on the departure ports you are considering from the top list, then choose the month you want to sail. It will give you who is sailing from that port, and the itinerary. EM

Since you were completely happy with RCCL, there's no real reason to change.

You might want to pick the ship with the best itinerary for you. :)
