If you like Carnival, you'll love Royal Caribbean. I'll never go back to Carnival, RC is twice the cruise line.
I've heard a lot of people liking them as well. We'll probably try them next just to see who we like the most before we get set with a certain company.

My hawaiian cruise will be with NCL (Norweigan), and it will be my first on that cruise line. I've heard good things about their freedom dining.

I didnt think Carnival was too bad, but there were some points that were upsetting. We went with extended family(about 20+ people) so trying to get them all to spend more money on a nicer cruise line didnt really work.

Well you could tell they were being cheap at times. One of the "free drink" events they only gave you one, and avoided you the rest of the night because they didnt wanna give more than one drink. Also the pools werent too big on the ship they were really shallow, so I never went on any of those. I also think they didnt have enough activities on the ship for people to do.

There were others, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Totally agree. I will probably never do a normal vacation again unless it's something overseas.

The very first I did was through a travel agent...the last 3 were on my own. You save more money that way.
I usually go to Cruises, Last Minute Cruises, Cheap Cruises, Cruise Deals, Cruise Bargain, Cruise Line cause their search engine is the best. I will then look around to see how much the other sites are charging. It's best to buy through the cruise line themself if they are the same price.

Yeah, you're better off doing it yourself instead of paying a fee to a travel agent.
