suzieq06 Posted August 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I haven't cruised in approx. 17 years, this will be my sisters first. We would like to go in April 2018, after spring breakers and before school is out. We are both seniors(but young at heart). Any ideas which cruise is best. We would like to sail out of Galveston, we can drive to the port instead of having to fly. I have sailed on Carnival, Norwegian & RCCL. Plan on making our reservations within the next few weeks.

Clarea Posted August 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Welcome to Cruise Critic. "Best" is a very subjective term. It might help if you would list some of the things you are looking for. Royal Caribbean will have Liberty, a very large ship with many bells and whistles, doing 7 day cruises to the Western Carib, and also Vision, a smaller ship, doing 4/5 day itineraries to the Western Carib.

suzieq06 Posted August 15, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 15, 2017 We are looking for something "low key". We are not interested in scuba or zip lining but would like beach time, snorkeling, sailing. Some casino time as well as shows, bands, dancing. My sister has never been to the Caribbean and would like to show her some of the highlights. We will schedule shore excursions in all ports. I love RCCL but was leaning toward Carnival.

Rare Keith1010 Posted August 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2017 In April you have two choices; Carnival or RCi. I would probably go with RCI. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
