How Are Carnival Cruses During The Winter Months?

I am looking to book a carnival cruse preferably to the Bahamas during December. I have taken two Carnival cruses before both during Spring Break and they are naturally awesome. I just wanted to know if I would be in line for a severe letdown, or if cruses during the winter months are somewhat on par as far as single good looking girls and an overall good time

Answer:I actually prefer to go to Mexico in December. It's cold at home, and the warm weathere is a nice break. And in Mexico, it's simply warm/hot in December, not hot/miserable. (The weathere in the Bahamas is probably not as variable). I can't compare to Spring Break because I don't take those cruses, but theree are lots of young single people on the cruses I've been on in Winter. I think the weathere will be pretty nice in the Bahamas, but I would look it up to be sure. Cruses are also a lot cheaper for off peak times. I'm taking a 5 day Carnival in December and paid only $229. I've seen the same cruse as low as $199. During spring break and around new New Years, the same cruse will be $500-$700. Good luck.

What Are Some Cruses That Depart From Australia?

i really want to see egypt, greece, rome and spain. is it possible to visit those countries all in one cruse? if so what cruses do you recommend? and dose it depart from australia? thank you.

Answer:Cruses departing from Australia typically go to Australian ports and then to New Zealand ports. A few cruses go to those ports and end in Singapore. YES! you can cruse to all of the ports that you want to see but you'll have to first fly to the Mediterranean to begin your cruse. There are several cruse lines, like Holland America, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Norwegians that cruse to all of those ports. IN addition, you will likely have to take a cruse that is about 12 to 14 days or more in order to make all of the ports that you want, OR, you can book two cruses of maybe 7 to 9 days each back to back. Here's some examples: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruse/cruseDetails/itineraryAndPricing.do;jsessionid=0000mZnY06RTyxPGNqHNxyzIjmq:12hdhu6tq?packageCode=VY07M065&region=EUROP&ship=ANY&date=ANY&seletcedCurrencyCode=&promoType=&hasSenior=&hasMilitary=&hasFireandPolice=&state= http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruse/cruseDetails/itineraryAndPricing.do;jsessionid=0000mZnY06RTyxPGNqHNxyzIjmq:12hdhu6tq?packageCode=BR12M129&region=EUROP&ship=ANY&date=ANY&seletcedCurrencyCode=&promoType=&hasSenior=&hasMilitary=&hasFireandPolice=&state= http://www.princess.com/pb/itineraryDetails.do?voyageCode=R023&tourCode=&date=0910&noOfPax=2&resType=C&definiteion_name= http://www.princess.com/pb/itineraryDetails.do?voyageCode=7018A&tourCode=&date=0910&noOfPax=2&resType=C&definiteion_name= Check out these cruse line web sites: PRINCESS: http://www.princess.com/index.html CELEBRITY: http://www.celebritycruses.com/home .

What Are The Ethical Issues Of Cruses Giving Uneaten Food To Homeelss People In Ports?

So much food is wasted on cruses every year.. Maybe cruse companies can start donating wasted food at ports? What's wrong with donating the food at the port areas for human consumption? If it's going to be thrown out anyway, why not? I know I asked this before but I want the ethical issues here. Say they did this in extremely poor countries.

Answer:There aren't ethical reasons not to do it, but theree are legal ones.

What Are Some Good Companies To Go On Cruses With?

Me and my girlfriends are planning a cruse for this summer. We are all college students and are looking for cheap cruses / flights. We want to go somewhere really hot! Any ideas? Thanks!

How Did You Like Your European River Cruse With Viking River Cruses?

We've never been on a cruse before, but we are pretty sure we don't want to go on a ship that has 5,000 passengers and assigned seating, etc. Are the best times to go in June and September? That's when the prices are highest. Is theree really enough to do on these river cruses? Are they full of stuffy old rich people? Is the food good?

Answer:The prices are high in June and September since this is the high season. The possibility that the weathere is good is higher at that time and it is school vacation time in Europe. For the food, I can only say, that a friend of mine is the cooperate chef theree - so I can say the food is good. lol

Cruise Confidential: A Hit Below the Waterline: Where the Crew Lives, Eats, Wars, and Parties. One Crazy Year Working on Cruise Ships (Travelers' Tales)

Condition: NEW
Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

In Cruise Confidential, Brian David Bruns spills the dirt — or in this case, the dirty water — on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the year he spent working for Carnival Cruise Lines takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as they’re assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. Stewards fighting over food. Cutlery allowances and other nonsensical rules. What the crew calls those onboard (no, it’s not “passengers”). And of course, the sex. An abundance of ready, willing, and able bodies eager for action on a vessel replete with nooks and crannies leads to love in some mighty strange, and seemingly impossible, places. Breezy, entertaining, and informative, Cruise Confidential is essential reading for those planning a cruise or for anyone who just needs a good laugh.
