New Years suggestions?

[llmoyer123]

we're looking for a cruise over new years and am looking for suggestions. so far, we're finding the prices on that week to be about three times higher than any other december/january period!

we're looking for a "newer" ship. have only cruised carnival in the past and have always been pleased with them. however, we wouldn't mind branching out to another cruise line. we don't know much about NCL, but what we've heard is basically all good!

has anyone found a particularly good itinerary or (better yet) a particularly good bargain for that time period? we're partial to sailing out of florida, in that we're in the midwest and the air rates are much better for us.

we're thinking if we stay away from carnival, it might cut down on the kids-on-christmas-break mayhem.

we've visited almost all the carribbean ports, so that isn't a big criteria for us, but the condition of the ship is!

looking forward to hearing some suggestions.

Hi,
Try Best Price Cruises website. I am going on the NCL Sun December 25-Jan1st. We will be on the ship for New Years Eve. The boat leaves from Miami and goes to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Belize and Roatan/Honduras. The prices they offer are good-we priced the cruise from a regular travel agent and it was $700.00 more.

Good Luck,
Ellen

I found a deal that will make your jaw drop.

We cruised this exact same itinerary on the Sun in May of 2002, and we had a wonderful time! We really have a true fondness for the Sun....it's a warm and cozy ship, and the intinerary is terrific. I've always wanted to cruise over New Year's.....maybe someday. Enjoy your trip!

hoping to hear from a few others on any new years cruise "deals" out of florida that they're aware of.
