[QUOTE="jlphotog, post: 247297, member: 6986"] I worked on Cruise ships for six years before dressing in brown. I was on 13 different ships in 6 different cruise lines all over the world. I worked for a concession not the cruise lines themselves. One thing i did learn while working in that industry was your age has a lot to do with which cruise line you should go on. Somebody above mentioned Holland America. If you are under the age of 55 I would not recommend it. Princess basically caters to those in their 40's and Carnival to those in their 20's. Those are not rules but that seems to be the way it goes. If you are in your 30's or 40's you are not going to want to spend a weak with people who are generally double your age. I worked on Holland America and every week there would be a younger family or two and most of the time they were miserable. NCL is a good cruise line. At least they were when I sailed. Since then they have been bought out by Star Cruises. A very wealthy cruise line who put a lot of money into their ships. I haven't worked on NCL but I did work on Star. You wont go wrong with NCL. One thing I would recommend since your wife has not been on a cruise. If at all possible find one of the 2-3 day weekend cruises and take that first. That way if she absolutely hates it once there, it's over in a couple of days. If she loves it then book your week long cruise. Some people are a lot more apt to feel motion sickness then they think they are. Nothing will ruin your 25th anniversary faster than having her head over the toilet for a week. [/QUOTE]
