Are their any cruises catering to couples from Fla or Ny?

It really depends on what you like. My favorite cruise destination is Alaska, but if you like warm weather, Hawaii is great. Anywhere to the Caribbean; Bahamas or Jamaica would be great, you could also go to Australia. St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, etc. they are all really great, so it just depends what you are looking for and what looks best to you.





Carnival is going to be the cheapest, but not always the nicest cruise. Royal Caribbean is a little more expensive, but well worth the upgrade. If you don't know much about crusiing, I would not use a site like Expedia, Orbitz, etc. you are left to take care of the booking youself. There is lots of little details when it comes to cruising and it helps to have an agent that is specialized in cruises. My agent has always had lower prices than the online discounters because her agency offers group discounts, so it is not always cheapest to go thru one of these sites. I have my answer to a similar question below, it may also be useful to you as far as which line to choose.





Here is my answer:





In order of preference





Celebrity


Disney


Royal Caribbean


Carnival





Reasoning- Celebrity has a very classy feel. The food is delicious and it is a very nice over all experience.





Disney, the service is unbeatable. Your server will follow you to your dinner each night, so you always know them and they get to know your preferance. It is clean. It is fun for adults, not just kids. It will really spoil you once you have been on a Disney cruise, they require the highest level of service from their staff. I have heard many people that have been on the most expensive cruises that you cannot beat the service of the Disney cruise. The shows are also really great.





Royal Caribbean is really good for many price levels. The ship is great, the staff is great and so is the food. They usually cost less than celebrity or Disney, but they are still a great ship. A good ship to get started with.





Carnival is more of a party ship. There will usually be younger people on the ship because it is less expensive, therefore more affordable. The quality just isn't as nice and it doesn't give you the true experience of cruising.





Last December I was heading home from a cruise and happened to be sitting next to two families that had just returned from cruising with Carnival. They didn't know each other but they were on the same ship and got to talking. Both were very dissapointed with the trip, even the kids. They said the shows were boring and the food wasn't very good at all. A couple of people even said they asked for cold meat sandwiches for dinner.





It really is true that you get what you pay for. If you spend a little more you will get a trip you never forget. However, no matter which you choose will have a great time, cruising is the best way to travel.








Hope this helps!Are their any cruises catering to couples from Fla or Ny?
I fell asleep reading that reply.....so





From Florida its a major port, you will find no problem finding a cruise from there, if you can drive to florida then you will get a great deal.


From New York you can also take a cruise, they actually have a cruise called...';Cruise to no where';


You leave New York and go out to open water for a night, then come back the next day to New York, great way to try a cruise if you never done one. Really a great way to have a dinnerand suprise your loved one.





Good luck
