Cruise Lines - Better Quality?

Hi There!

I've been on 6 cruises in my life on 3 lines. Most were wonderful experiences. Truly great.

NCL
Holland America
Royal Caribbean

I just returned from a trip on Mariner of the Seas (RCL). It was the first cruise I did not enjoy.

The nickel-and-diming of passengers was completely different from my previous experiences. Not fun at all.

So here is my question: which cruise lines are resisting this trend? I know all of them are doing it to some degree. But which are trying to keep their cruises "all inclusive"?

Many thanks!

We started on the "big" ships. Now we would not go on a ship with more than say 100 people.
We have just returned from an Anchorage to Vancouver trip on a "small" expedition ship.
We went to all the places the big ships can't/don't, we did not call at any of the "tourist trap" towns.
We had no shows/dancing girls/casino etc.
We also didn't have any Chav's!!!!!!

What we did have was nature!
We were out in the Zodiacs just about every day. We watched spellbound for about an hour humpback whales bubble/lunge feeding! We visited the off the beaten track glaciers and sat there watching them calve - often!
We drifted among several hundred sea otters!
We visited a sea lion colony
We were with bald eagles most days.
We went up a salmon spawning river. When the Zodiacs grounded we got out and were standing in the water with the salmon swimming all around us!
We explored the geology of the tectonic plates.
We saw a brown bear feeding/catching salmon in a river 60ft from us!
We saw Orca whale pods and got a photo of one breaching (jumping right out of the water)!
Yes the small ships are more expensive, but you do get a better class of well educated and knowledgeable person!
Generally once you convert to small ships you will never set foot on the big ships going to the "fashionable" destinations ever again!

Caribbean Cruise Lines: Carnival, Princess or Royal Caribbean?

Which cruise line should I choose? Are there any all-inclusive packages on a cruise?

Depends on what you would like to do. Carnival is traditionally a "party" cruise, younger crowd but not as elegant. Princess is a nice mid-line vacation. RCCL more high end. Great kids programs too!
