i'm planning on going on a cruise in october or november with a friend of mine. we are both in our early 20's so the more young people on there the better. i dont want to go on one too long but it seemed like the boats for the shorter ones were better.

whats the best cruise line to go on? i definitely want to go somewhere warm.

I went on a Princess Cruise Lines ship with my ex-wife 15 years ago or so, I wouldn't recommend them as the crowd was pretty old.

I've heard Carnival is the way to go for the younger crowd, but I'm not sure what their amenities are like.

Diet before you go, food is served in massive quantities 24x7 on cruise ships.

That's what I found, but Carnival - from my experience - was just as old. I don't know if there are any cruises specifically designed for the younger crowd. Cruises are typically expensive compared to most holidays so I assume they figure younger people can't afford them.

i was looking on orbitz, you can get them dirt cheap. its only $500-800 for a 7 day per person, which includes food. thats very affordable if you ask me.

I grew up going on cruises! For your age group, Carnival is the way to go! The service isn't the greatest....or alot of other things, but it'll be more fun to stick with a younger group of people.

I like Royal Caribbean, but if you're looking for more of a party atmosphere, definitely go with Carnival. They have a million ships, should be easy to get a good rate.

Did anyone see that DateLine Special they did about the cruiseship lines?

They pulled samples in the ships cabins and found piss, semen, and all kinds of other bodily fluids and nasty ass bacteria in all of them. It was actually amazing the results. Totally ruined it for me ever going on a cruise. I've also heard people get sick from the water on board also, or something to that effect. Hundreds of people on the boat all becoming ill.

hAVE fUN :-)

Been on a couple of cruises, all through either Carnival or Royal Carribean. Royal was nicer cause the boat was brand new.

A week cruise is a good length. It gives you a chance to spread out and take things slower. Don't make the mistake and book 50 million excursions everytime the boat ports. You'll be hating life if you have shit planned every second. And all of the excursions you can do on your own anyways.

Either Carribean cruises are nice. Grand Cayman has some of the most beautiful water I've seen in my life.

One other thing I've heard is that Carnival is more of a family cruise line, so there will be more kids. Royal had more of a reputation for less kids, but maybe that's changed. When you book your tickets, request to get a table for two for dinners. That way you guys can eat in peace. Otherwise you will be dining with about 8 people you don't know and they will ask you what you do for a living, and a 100 other prying questions about your life. Just save yourself the hassle.

I'm sure the amount of semen and piss is on par with any hotel you will ever stay in. Just part of the gig. Shit, you can tell Max Hardcore is pissing all over the floor (and a girl) in the Venetian Hotel in Vegas. And I can guarantee Motel 6 has seen it's share of debauchery.

I've only been on one, and it was the Miracle on the Carnival line..in it's first month, so we got to it while it was fresh, lol.

I'm a bit older..28 now..but in a way that's better because I still fit into the twenties groups and the thirties groups, lol.

The club inside the ship was a shitload of fun.
