Girls' cruise - any suggestions?

[Jaberwocky]

We are 4 ladies (mid-fifties) who take a summer trip each year without our spouses. We usually travel for about 4 nights, and someone mentioned that maybe we should try a cruise. Does anyone have any suggestions for any 4 night cruises? The only ones I have found are on Carnival. We don't really care where we go except would like to avoid Mexico. Since we live in the Midwest, the port doesn't really matter, either. Would like to go in early June of next year. Thanks for any suggestions or thoughts.

The Port of Miami also has Norwegian and Royal Caribbean for 4-5 day cruises.:)

RCCL has a 5 day from Baltimore to Bermuda if you can stretch the time away

Some other departure ports to check NYC or California

Me and my girlfriends have taken 2 -5 day cruises without spouses and children. We had a blast. We did go to Mexico since we live in the Houston area. However I know Florida offers a lot of shorter cruises that go to the bahamas.

Have fun in your search and have a great time.

If you want to cruise in the summer, your only options are Carnival, Royal Caribbean, or the Norwegian Sky. Unless you want to do Disney, which is a lot more expensive. The other lines send their ships to Alaska or Europe for the summer. EM

Another idea -- If you can swing one more night, Royal Caribbean has some 5-night Bermuda cruises for next June that leave from Bayonne, NJ.

 

Oops -- I didn't originally see LHT28's post from earlier today which basically said the same thing. Sorry!

I couldn't quite gather from your post if you were trying to avoid Carnival or just Mexico. Anyway, Carnival Glory has 4 and 5 day Canada/New England itineraries leaving from Boston.

My suggestion is to make it a 7 day cruise.

 

I could not imagine a 4 day cruise, I would be so depressed when it came to such a quick end.

 

It will be the trip of a lifetime.

4 day cruise not worth airfare INHO unless you find bargain.

We havebeen on the Carnival Glory Eastern Canada itinerary (ours left from New York). This is a great choice for June - much cooler than the Caribbean.

If you can drive to port, shorter iteneraries are a good bargain. Not everyone has the time off work for a 7 day, especially considering travel time to and from.
