Another suggestion made to me, was to do an all inclusive resort.
Helps control cost I guess, But I have never done a cruise so curious.
As far as time of year, March works best for me at this point.
not sure what others think.
We sailed on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas and enjoyed it. No issues with motion of the ocean and the service was excellent. we're just waiting to see how a few things shake out with Hannah and school before booking another one this February
Jason, you will be sitting on deck chair with cocktail in hand,
I am sure that is different view than you do during work.
Its ok to be afraid of boats LOL
