| I think a big part of the fun for me is the planning and anticipation.
I even enjoy planning cruises Ill probably never go on (the ones where
I am treating all 16 family members to owners suits). I have all
brochures from most of the lines and at night before I fall asleep I
take them out and look them over and say Where shall I go today... |

| Check out the newsgroup rec.travel.cruises. Its pretty much as helpful
for planning cruises as this group is for planning Disney vacations. There
are several travel agents that frequent the newsgroup, any of which will
be very happy to price out a cruise for you. Im guessing that a cruise
specialist may be able to get you a better price than a Disney specialist
- not 100% sure, but theyve been able to get some awesome deals for
people. |
| In my and my fiances case, we do the planning, research and packing
together. WE raise the funds together, do the budget -- although usually
I do more of the initial research and he does a little more of the number
crunching. Basically, though, Id say all of the work is split downt he
middle....partly becasue were both really picky people, and partly
because we both *love* to travel and have strong opinions. Glad to report
that *Im* the one who found the *perfect& itinerary for our honeymoon --
two back to back cruises on the Enchantment....June 20 & 27.
(We watned to do Europe but couldnt get the right itinerary at the right
time without blowing our budget!( Once I found the itineraries, together
we selected our cabin, meal sittings, flight times, etc.... Were a good
team :-) |
| Hey, Jim... We have loads of fun planning cruises, so Im recommending my own
personal cruise planner at http://CandyBrock.com. It includes explanations,
tips about everything from Azipods to Zuiderdam and includes reviews and links
to loads of other cruising sites. Were about your age, and our best cruises
have been on HAL and RCI. Our next is HALs new Zuiderdam in October and prolly
TransCanal or Hawaii in May or June. Have fun! |
