Anybody ever been on a cruise?

Basically looking for a cruise to go on with a few buddies. I'm looking for something with a lot of college students, and the less old people, the better. Anybody have any suggestions or past experiences they want to share?

Been looking at Carnival and Royal Carribean mostly.

Royal Caribbean > *

Crown and anchor crew!!!!

But when I went there was a mix of people. Depends on when you go. Theres also a lot of foreigners. Lot of people getting ready to go back to college if you go in August. Lot of families on vacation if you go at the beginning of summer. These are just my observations.

Royal Caribbean...

I'll try to answer your question, and describe it in a short paragraph....

It's not like going to the beach. You get to get off at other places such as the bahamas, or wherever it takes you. It's not like a normal vacation, you get away from home and enjoy and relax so much. Your wanting to go when teens or college students are on board? I went with a group of friends for our sr. trip (15 of us) Yea, we did manage to sneak in a few things of booze in the suitcases. But anyway go during spring break or right after school lets out again next year (lots of sr trips) You will have a blast. There's so much to do on the islands and the boats. There's so many restauraunts, movie theatres, and pools with fine girls on that thing.

Whenever I went we went on a Royal Caribbean cruise. It was pretty cool from what I can remember. I went when I was in like 10th grade. They had a game room full of arcade games, a pool and a couple hot tubes were people were getting crazzzzzzy like clothing coming off and flying all over the place. A casino, a sports bar and a lot of foooooooood. Yeah it was pretty cool, I'd use them again for sure.

oh yeah and it had a auditorium were comedians did some routines and what not. Some pretty fancy restaurants were you had to were nice clothes to get in and we stopped at a lot of the places to go scuba diving. Was a good time for sure. Just real $$$$$

Norwegians my favorite. Ive been on royal carribean and its ok. I dont like the fact that theres only like 2 buffets and the only other place to eat is a resteraunt where the cruise people make you sit at a certain table with people you dont know everynight. Norwegian you have a lot more choices on what to do like pick what resteraunts you want to eat at or go to the buffet resteraunt at 3 am.

If you go with enough people you sit by yourself. Whenever we go we usually have our own 3 or 4 tables. Only once did we have to sit with people we didnt know because there was just 5 of us.

ive only gone cruising in may 2x and december 1x and there were like no college aged people... a few with thier families and such but not like you're looking for i guess...

college students = poor... cruises = $$$

I just got back yesterday from a 4 night baja mexico cruise...... I went Royal Carribean (Monarch of the Seas Vessel) and my god I had a blast. Lots of girls, lots of drinking, great ppl, everyone weighs on you hand and foot, ect. My favorite part was the Casino = Open from 6am to 4am, and the Nightly "Club" they had @ night closed at 4am so that was cool. They also have a bunch of fun events during the daytime like dodgeball touraments, basketball tournaments, rock climbing tournaments on the boat, and also fun competitions like Belly Flop Competition and Men's Sexiest Legs, ect....... along with the usual girls getting drunk off thier *** and showing their tits to everyone.

I did a Norwegian cruise to Bermuda a little while back. Things to do:

They won't let you bring booze on board, so bring several large water bottles. Fill said water bottles with clear booze of your choice.

When, and if, you port, #1 dont miss the ship, get more clear booze. Goto every night spot when you port, you'd be suprised at what you can find/do at some bars.

At dinner order an obnoxious amount of food. We always got 2 appetizers, soup, salad, 3 entree's and 2 deserts, always.

Go to the comedy show, trust me, the guy on our ship was funny as hell.

Late night buffet, find it.

Late night fun after everything is closed: take part in throwing a couple lawn chairs and other random things overboard.

Sleep the day away and work on your sunburn.

oh and duty free ftw
