I just got back from a cruise to Nassau and other various islands in the Bahamas. It was fun; however, next time I would probably choose Cozumel or something of that sort. I have heard that the Alaskan cruises are absolutely beautiful though.

We chose to cruise with Royal Carribean on the newly refurnished Sovereign of the Seas (it was the one on the TLC/Discovery Channel special...if you watched that lol). It was very nice and the staff was great, but when it came to things to do, I heard Carnival was the way to go. I'm looking for a cruise this summer too, and Carnival has some great deals! I wouldn't recommend Royal Carribean unless you're just looking for a relaxing boat ride lol....give Carnival a try.
