Cruises, Cruise Deals & Cruise Holidays

We have cruised 4 times with Royal Caribbean including on the Freedom. All I can say is that you can't please everybody! We enjoyed all of the ships including Freedom. I agree some people do dress quite casually but cruising has become more casual nowadays. I certainly would not have likened people's dress to having a night at MacDonalds (unless Morpeth has a very upmarket MacDonalds!) The great things aout a cruise is that you can get dressed up if you want to and not feel out of place as the majority of others do likewise.

What a raving snob, you would be better staying in the Hotels you mention. Obviously not used to money. It well shows.

from the comments you have made re;taste and class I would suggest CRYSTAL AND SILVERSEA These are high end and uber stylish.Obviously you get what you pay for ,on a cheaper scale but still very good are celebeiry cruises BUT ONLY MILLENIUM AND SOLTICE CLASS ships NOT the older ships.Summit Millenium and Constellation and the new soltice with its ''lawn club'' are ARE MORE AFFORDABLE CHOICE Give them ago you wont be dissapointed! happy cruising

Try QM2 this would probably suit you better.

You simply picked the wrong cruise line! Then are American mass-market. By the way, RCI's decor and onboard experince is almost sedate compared to Carnival!

You should have done your homework upfront and gone with Crystal, The yachts of Seabourne, Silversea, or any number of seagoing equivalents of Mandarin Oriental. That being said, the Americans may tuck into the food faster than anyone else, but at least they don't get soused to the pits, into fights, and subsequently chucked off the ship with the monotonous regularity that the Brits do.

Oh Oh, wait for it, I will leave this to those better able than I, I hope you have got a flak jacket!.. Carol
