Cruise reccomendations?

Recently, I bought an engagement ring and the store was offering a promo- spend 5k on an engagement ring in June, get a free 3 night,4 day cruise for 2.
It has to be through Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Lines, or Royal Carribean.
Has to leave from Miami or L.A.
Any upgrade desired (room upgrades, alcohol package, longer cruise, etc) can be done and paid for out of pocket by myself.
I'm definitely open to paying more for a longer cruise and drink package- not really sure a nicer room is worth it being as we won't be in it much?
Never been on a cruise so don't know much about any of the cruise lines or types of cruises.
Advice or reccomendations?

Trash

These are the ones that are actually trashy.
ETA: Do Royal Caribbean for the least trash.

Top Gun and Mission Impossible are both good. He gave a good performance in A Few Good Men too.

I'd go for the upgrade to a 7 day Eastern Caribbean out of Miami with Norwegian.

Anything but Carnival

I didn't like Cocktail or any of his Scientology-heavy movies. Risky Business still a classic. He got real crazy on Oprah once.

Royal Caribbean out of Miami will limit you to either something in the Voyager or Vision class. The Navigator of the Seas is a fun ship with alot to do for younger couples.
Check it out here
if you want a longer cruise I would recommend an eastern caribbean cruise out of Miami on Royal and definitely add the drink package. The Premium package seemed to be the best value for us but we don't drink premium coffees.

Dude. Cruises are nothing more than floating Hotels where, if you leave, you die.
If I wanted an experience like that, I'd just go stay in New Orleans.

Of those options go with Royal Caribbean.

In all seriousness... Longer cruise is probably worth the cost. With a 3 day, you're basically on the water for 2 solid days, with like 8 hours on an island somewhere, so hardly worth it. Unless you're just looking to be on a boat, in which case, go for it.
I can't speak to the room upgrade, never done it, but I think you're right, I can't imagine it's worth the cost. But, would be baller AF to get the suite. The "normal" cruise ship rooms are freaking tiny.
Drink package... Assuming you're a drinker, absolutely. You'll go broke buying drinks for a week.

I would spend a little extra and do a 5-7 out of Miami. Ports I like best are Grand Cayman and Isla Roatan, see if anything leaving out of Miami visits them. Also, go when school is in, the lesser amount of kids the better.

We went last year for 7 days on Norwegian Cruise Lines and loved it. Very few kids and the ship was clean , food was great , and alcohol was expensive. Probably my favorite vacation I've taken. Though that's partly due to us only driving 30 minutes from home to the ship and then the same ride when cruise was over. Much better than trying to drive 10-15 hours somewhere , looking for hotel rooms , paying for meals (deciding on where to get meals) , etc. It was awesome. Drive 30 minutes , get on ship , vacation for 7 days while being treated like a king , drive 30 minutes home.
Would NOT do Carnival. I researched all of them extensively and didn't see anything good being said about Carnival

Norwegian has a Hawaii cruise that's good. The travel board may be your best bet.

Pay for the upgrade for an outside room with a balcony
Posted on 6/29/16 at 11:07 am to Tigerfan56
How much are you going to end up spending in this "free" cruise?
Posted on 6/29/16 at 11:48 am to Tigerfan56
Royal Carribbean out of Miami is by far the best option. There are some really nice ships there with great destinations. Get a balcony room or upgrade to a Junior suite if you can afford it. It is worth the money. Try to book a room on a higher deck, toward the bow of the ship. You will have a great experience.
The reason is that you will be closer to the amenities such as the pool deck, Gym, Spa and Theatre. Since you are toward the bow, it will seem a lot less crowded that in the middle or stern of the ship.
Cruises are not trashy. Just take a quality cruise and stay from the trash who normally cruise on bad cruise lines. You get what you pay for.
