STONEWALL AT SEA DEC 2013

Yea the air bundles with the cruise lines suck pretty bad - Its bets to domply go online to your favorite resource, you will find much better rates. As for Wi-Fi costs it depends on the amount of time you want to purchase. I suggest getting minute bundles as that is the more cost effective option versus paying by the per minute use.

Yeah the flights do suck. I am just going to see what I can get from Boston. I know Jetblue has a couple direct to the Miami area (Miami and Ft. Lauderdale). Or I may drive down, have always wanted to do that.

Bear in mind that I am in Grad School and my commitment to a cruise is directly related to if the cruise is planned outside the semester lines. I voted for option 2 because I believe we should go with a more "mature" cruise company.

The leisure cruise market is full of families and children, and if the more mature of us want to blow off steam or drink and have a good time, we will be limited by the type of cruise.

Norweigian is very supportive of the gay cruise market, it seems a fine choice for a "fun" partying cruise. Carnival is full of little knee-biting kids and their stressed out moms and dads, and frankly I am too impatient of that crowd to give Carnival my business. I could talk endlessly about the best choices for a gay cruise, but it usually boils down to Norweigian, Holland-America, and Crystal for me.

Oh that sounds fun. However come to the US one, it will be warmer...that equals less clothing on guys!

This is an opportune time to buy cruise tickets... events like this lower ticket prices and impact a really low number of overall sailings!

Another reason to vote #2 Norwegian Cruise lines!

Polling will close on March 15th so please vote on one of the 3 options :)

Vote Miami! I want to extend my vacation there!!!

Well, after the Triumph debacle, I will certainly not give Carnival my business, that is the second time in three years they have had serious problems at sea with one of their ships. Added to my post before that means I will not go if the selection is Carnival.

I voted for Norweigian/Miami option.
