Carnival Cruise lines, specially the ship "Dream"…help please!?!?

My sister in law and I have been looking for cruises during July. It’s just going to be four of us (my bf, me, her and her husband) and since it’s the first time my bf and I will cruise and we REALLY need a vacation, we thought it would be fun to go on the Dream cruise. My sis in law thinks it’s too expensive for her and her husband since they have other vacation plans with their kids as well. Also, they feel it’s too long and they’ve cruise a few times before and they told us that by the 5th day you really just want to get out of the ship. The Dream Cruise goes for a whole week and the itinerary I was looking at was for the Bahamas, St.Thomas, and St. Marteen. Now we really want a ship that goes that way but that we don’t have to fly into P.R to get to it. Is there any other ships that cruise to the east part of the caribbean but leave from Miami and that are 3-5 days? Or that go to Jamaica, Cayman Islands, and Mexico? During July only!

Help please
Oh and if you’ve been on the Dream, is it fun? Is it better to go in a group or more fun if I just go with my bf?
Milkman: Thank you for telling me that it’s not boring to be on a cruise ship for more than 5 days. Like I you know, I have a boyfriend and I have NO clue why you would even bring up all the dirty stuff you can do on a cruise ship. I leave that for skanks and whores. I’m not one of those type of girls

Looking for an all Inclusive resort. Please Help!?

Hello,

It’s summer again so I have a question:

I’m looking for a vacation destination/resort anywhere in the Islands (Bahamas, Caribbeans, Cancun, Dominican Republic). Im looking for a top notch, fun, and nice place. A good example of this would be the Atlantis resort but they aren’t all inclusive and their meal plans aren’t too good.

Where should we go on a romantic carribean vacation for our anniversary?

My husband and I are planning a romantic vacation to the Caribbean for our 5th anniversary.
October 2011- Yes I’m starting to plan it a year and a half in advance.. I’m a planner ;)

We want to go to an all inclusive resort. I want it to be romantic and somewhat secluded but would love to have some activities to keep us entertained as well. We’re not golfers or tennis players…
Would love water sports like Jetskiing, Snorkling, Parasailing, swimming with dolphins maybe. I would exspecially enjoy shows or some form of entertainment.

Some places I have begun to cosider are:
The Bahamas, Turkes and Caicos, Virgin Islands, Antigua, Domincan Republic….

I orginally was fascinated by the Sandals Resort in Nassua, but now i’m thinking I would enjoy going somewhere a little less common and maybe a little further into the carribean.
My recent favorite is the Dreams resort in Punta Cana… any opinions on it?

Any and all suggestions are welcome, Thank You!!

Can I go scuba diving in the bahamas?

I’m cruising to the Bahamas in May, and wondering if I’ve never been scuba diving, and I’m not certified for it, is it possible for me to get trained there while I’m on my shore excursion and actually go scuba diving?

Vacation spot for baby/toddler?

So- my husband and I want to take a beach vacation next winter with our family- we will have a just-turned 2 year old, and a 6 month old.

We’d love to find a tropical place (virgin islands, bahamas, etc.) that is fairly easy to get to, family friendly and would have some babysitting options where I would feel okay leaving my 2 babies with someone we just met so we could enjoy a romantic dinner or two.

Has anyone taken a trip to a place they’d recommend? Please don’t say Disney- we’ll do that when the kids are older! (We’re not into Hawaii either- too far of a flight to entertain the two rascals!)
Nah…we don’t want to do a childless vacation yet. I just did our first weekend away from my daughter (I’m preggo with #2) and to tell you the truth, by the second night, I was ready to be back home even though she was having a fantastic time with grandma. Plus- I plan to nurse #2 till they are 9 months old- and there’s no way I can pump that much in advance! We want a week at a beach- all of us together with a couple of hours just for my husband and me.

vacation destinations?

Hey. I want to go somewhere next summer. Maybe a cruise but im not sure where to go. I’ve been on 3 cruises which went to Bahamas, St. Maarten, St Thomas, Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Cayman Island, Jamaica, and Mexico. What other destinations do you recommend. I really want to go on another cruise with none of the same islands. It has to be in July or August 09 only. Any places you recommend? I really wanted to go on a cruise to Tahiti or to Aruba and Trinidad but they don’t have any ships that go there in the summer. If you can’t find a cruise, are there any nice places you recommend? And if you do find a cruise,I like Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruise line. I don’t want any Carnival cruises.

Thanks=]

Do you have to be a good swimmer to go scuba diving?

Im going to the Bahamas in 2 weeks and I really want to scuba dive, I need to reserve it ahead of time before it fills up so like today, but I am not the greatest swimmer. I can swim, its just not one of my favorite hobbies, I can swim a few laps but then I get tired and lets just say Im not the best swimmer but I can to save my life so will this be a problem?
