I haven't and won't. One viewing of Titanic and I was done with the idea. Have fun though.

I've been on a couple. They can be fun. Most recently I was on one of Carnival's larger ships (something-or-other of The Sea) -- it was pretty impressive. Our cabin was on the Ledo deck (where all the bars are), which was pretty cool, too.

Oh, and Niki, no icebergs in the Carribbean.

What about that cruise ship that broke down a few months ago? Oops! Don't let that ruin your trip, it should be fine!

Never been on a cruise myself; I like jet-skis better.

Ive never been on a cruise, but I've heard from people that have that its an amazing experience. Too expensive for me and my family though. Ill definitely go on one when I'm older and have some extra money to flirt with

I went on a cruise late last year, and I had a great time. I wasn't on a "fun ship". There were very few children on our ship. I sailed with Princess Cruises. Unfortunately, Ivan was on the prowl at the time, and we didn't dock for about 3 straight days.

Overall, it was very relaxing. The Mrs. and I are looking forward to taking another cruise again soon.

Oh yeah, our ship was a brand new one, and the amenities were pretty nice. With the all-inclusive price (minus drinks & alcohol), a cruise can make for a ggreat vacation.

I've been on one. It was OK. I think it really depends on what line you decide and where you go. Mine was about 4 days in the Carribean. We never had a chance to really get a feel for each of our stops because they usually put to sea by 8 pm. You always arrive in the a.m. and you get most of the day there but you have to leave when things start to get good. The food is OK and there are usually some hot chicks to play with. I would've much rather spent the entire 4 days at Paradise Island. That place is MONEY!

I have been on 6 different cruises.

It also doesn't hurt that my wife is a travel rep for Odessey Travel.

I have had some great times on cruises. Have been to just about every island in the Carribbean from cruising.

All cruises, or I should say all cruise lines are not the same. Cruises are a good way to travel without all the hassles, and you get a chance to visit different islands without having to pack and unpack each time.

Punu, Carnival is a great cruise line. You will have alot of fun with them. Norwegian, Costa, Celebrity and Windjammer are also great cruise lines although, Windjammer is much smaller then the mega-ships the others have.

The Carnival Fascination is one of their smaller ships at 855ft, with a beam of 103ft. It has a gross tonnage of 70,367, with a guest capacity of 2,052 people.

Cruising speed is 21 knots.

This time of year is also the best time to go on a Alaska cruise on Celebrity.

If anyone wants more info on cruises, PM me and I will be more then happy to tell you all I know.
