re: Cruise reccomendations?

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.
