We love cruising. We have tried the land all-inclusive also but we get bored after a couple of days and the food is not as good.

these are the lines we like:

Royal Caribbean is really well run, clean ships, good food, not too snobby, usually a good bunch of cruisers.

Celebrity is a little more uppity but also runs great cruises.

Carnival - Party all the time.

Get one that goes to port more often. I'm not much for the pool either (I've got one here, why pay for one). Do not use the cruises excursions every day, we only do the cat/snorkel ones. The sight seeing trips are fun and cheaper with others off of the boat just hiring a cab. About $20 each if you can get 6 people together. Much better tour usually.

If you decide to do it, PM me and I'll give you some other tricks of the trade.

Seth,
I just went on the Navigator of the Seas a couple of weeks ago (Royal Caribbean).
I have been on other Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line cruises.

I love it.
A great time to be had.
However, highly recommend you do a newer, larger ship like the Navigator and that you do a balcony.
Only way to go is with that balcony so you can wake up to a cup of coffee and a cigar out there.
The cruise I did two weeks ago was great with every regard.
The entertainment was wonderful.
The food was very good (fillet mignon one night - very good, lobster tails another night - very good also).
One night, we paid extra to go to the "Chop House" steakhouse.
I have got to tell you. I go regularly to Ruth's Chirs, Del Frisco's, Charlie's and other top steakhouses. This Chop House rivaled any of them. Truly amazing dining.
Remember, like anything in life, you generally get what you pay for.
If you book a cheaper cruise, you will get cheaper.
