Give Me The Best Ship and Itinerary For (First Timers) The Caribbean Next Spring

[need2cruisesoon]

I'm looking to take my girlfriend (59) me (58) and my son and his friend (17) on a Caribbean Cruise either next March or April.

 

We have 7 days and would like to sail out of Ft lauderdale or Miami.

 

This will be my first cruise in the Caribbean along with my son and his friend, any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

What are you more interested in?

Shopping?

Exploring the port and learning about it?

Snorkling?

With 2 teens Ithink an Oasis Class ship will give them plenty to do while on board.

It really depends on what you like?

Lots of beach time - look Eastern Caribbean and hit the islands

Diving or snorkeling - either east or west

History - Western (Mayan ruins - Mexico)

Casual - look at Carnival or Norwegian

Mid range - Princess or Royal Caribbean

More up scale - Holland America, Viking, Celebrity

Good food - Celebrity, HAL, Carnival

 

Each ship/line will offer excursions. They are usually more expensive than using a private company

 

Before anyone else jumps in - these are my preferences, based on 30+ cruises - to each his/her own!!

RCCL/Oasis class...(Oasis, Allure, Harmony and Symphony.) They are truly ships that have the Wow factor. It has something for everyone, regardless of age.

How do we know. Besides your ages and sexes, we do not know anything about you at all.
