We have done cruises by Disney, Princess, Royal Carribbean and Viking.  Viking is by far our favorite.  we did Viking's Mediterranean Odyssey from Barcelona to Venice.  Amazing.  I think the Mediterranean is the best place to cruise.

I had an amazing time on a Mediterranean cruise last summer! The blend of historical sites and gorgeous views was unbeatable. Next on my list is the Norwegian fjords—those dramatic landscapes look incredible.

We're cruisers who don't like repeating cruise destinations so we've been to several different locations.  We've only been to the Caribbean on two cruises because my wife's chorus was doing a show on one of the ships.

 

My favorite cruise by far was the Antarctica cruise on Celebrity.  It was a 14 night cruise which started and finished in Buenos Aires.  We cruised along the Antarctic peninsula during the cruise but were never able to step on the actual continent but that was fine.

 

Other great cruises have been ones around the British Isles, one along Malaysia, one to the Canary Islands and of course Alaska.  We also did a great cruise from Boston to Montreal in early October and the fall colors were amazing.

 

What we usually look for are cruises with the highest percentage of port days and the most hours in each port.  We aren't tied to any one cruise line but have cruised on Holland America most often.  My favorite cruise line was Celebrity.
