Hi again.

Looks like a great forum with alot of info. Anyway me and my family are willing to take a cruise around caribbean sea or hawaii (gulf of mexico ,bahamas..) i looked at the offers at cruise.com and found out this one ;
Caribbean-Western 6 Days • Carnival Cruise Lines • Carnival Liberty

http://www.cruise.com/CS/forms/Sail...-1&CSP=-1&CST=10&CP=9558&SN=on&MT=on&EO=false


What do you guys thing ? Will this cruise worth it (ship, itineary..) ? We will be coming all the way from Germany so we want to make sure it is as nice as possible.
Any other recommended cruises concerning caribbean sea or hawaii are all welcome.

Best Regards

Aras

If you are going for an inside cabin it's $100/pp less than on the Carnival site.

It's difficult to say whether this cruise is a good one for you as I'm not sure what you "like". Are you going just to find good beaches? What kinds of things are you wanting to see?

The Liberty is a newer ship of a good size - can't go wrong with that.

We haven't been to Freeport in years...they say it's improved...hopefully they are right as it wasn't one of our favorite ports. We've not been to Costa Maya yet. Grand Cayman is great for swimming with the stingrays, going to the beach, or taking a trip to a unique rock formation they liked to call "Hell".

Honestly, for us we find each new port interesting. We enjoy visiting them at least once just to see what they are like. We've cruised enough to be paying repeat visits to many now...and there are still plenty of things to keep us occupied. If you are satisfied with the price - then book the cruise. Otherwise, go to the Carnival site and look at the different routes with their different ports. Most of the newer ships have Carnival in front of their name - though that is to change in the next few years. Even so the other ships are nice...just not as big or as new. You've got a lot to choose from

I've always noticed good prices on the Destiny...because it leaves out of San Juan. You might check into that one...we really enjoyed all those ports. The ship itself wasn't my favorite...but the ports made up for it! Once again, though, it depends on what you are interested in seeing in port or on board ship. I was going to see whether there was one for the July 1st time frame - but the site is temporarily unavailable.

St. Thomas, St. John, St. Marteen...those ports are more established than ones like Belize and Calica. Cozumel and Grand Cayman have been around awhile. If you want to just go around the Hawaiian Islands you will probably have to choose a different cruiseline. Carnival does Hawaii by a Honolulu/Esenada route.
