Help choosing cruise

[Guest tealady]

I need help recomending a first cruise for my 26 yr old niece and her girlfriend. While I have cruised several times myself it has always been on seven to ten day cruises. She is a working college student on a tight budget and is looking for a 4 day cruise on the cheap. She is looking for the end of April or first of May 2005. Anyone have a suggestion I can give her for the best bang for her money? I figure it will have to be either Carnival or RCCL and one of the older ships, but which one. I don't want it to be a dump. Help anyone?

Just wondering, if the "girlfriend" is just a friend or if she is a SO.(Hope i dont offend you, its none of my business, but im booking a cruise for my girlfriend and I-around the same time) Im 23, and looking into a couple of cruises 4-5 day in the beg. of may.....if they are together maybe we could have another couple to hang out with....

No offense taken, but it is just a girlfriend and not SO. They both have boyfriends that won't be able to take the time off to go with them.

How about the Sovereign? It's out of Port Canaveral. That was our first ship and I think you can get good deals on it.

I am 26 and this January will be going on my second cruise on the Carnival Triumph, I was on it the first week of November and had such a great time I've already booked another one. I would definitely suggest checking it out.

Thanks for your help. I will check on these ships for her and see what I can come up with.
