    Quick Windstar 101 please! - new Star Breeze

    in Windstar Cruises

    Posted

    I stumbled upon this question, and it has been helpful to me.  Typically, my daughter, and I enjoy Holland America Line.  I decided to try Windstar because I believe that a much smaller ship, sailing out of the Caribbean, will be more likely to cruise in 2021.  So we moved our long European cruise, for the third time, to 2022.  We are booked on Star Breeze for 6/5/21.  The information has been very helpful as this will be our first time on Windstar. So far I like what I see about Windstar.

    When is the Pinnacle Grill dinner????

    I did not start thread, but have gotten good information here. My daughter and I will be sailing the Noordam (Alaska) in 2019. We have a Neptune Suite. My cruise consultant told me we get a dinner in Pinnacle. She will have gone through dry dock before our cruise as well. This will be our first Holland America cruise.

    Norwegian or Carnival newer ships the best choice for 55+

    Reread what I wrote -- families, low-income cruisers, short getaways, noisy & festive.

     

    If you fall into any of those categories, Carnival might be a good fit. It doesn't mean ALL of those categories. Carnival tends to be less expensive than some of the other lines and is therefore often more affordable for families or folks who want to cruise, but can't spend a lot of money.

     

    I hope that clarifies it for you.

     

     

     

    You point out exactly the point I was making! Stuffy people who think they are better than everyone else. All kinds of people go on every different cruise line. That is some of the problem I have with this board. Fortunately, I have met wonderful people at meet and greets who are members of this board. I have been cruising on Carnival since I was 20 years old. I am not 55+ but I see people of all ages. They are having fun. It gets irritating the things people say about Carnival.

    Here's my take:

    Princess for active people over 40 who are looking for relaxing sea days and great ports.

    NCL for 20-something singles and single GLBT cruisers.

    Carnival for families, low-income cruisers, and short getaways. It's "Princess-lite." Noisy and festive.

    RCCL for non-stop activity. A lot to do on the ship, and it is rarely quiet.

    The last two Celebrity cruises we were on catered to large groups and the rest of us were SOL.

     

     

     

    I am just curious how you came to surmise Carnival is for low income people. Maybe people like cruising with fun people as opposed to stuffy people who think they are better than anyone else. I made a six figure salary and retired Jan 1. I love cruising Carnival. So does that make me low income? I book rooms that I pay a pretty penny for on Carnival. I also have cruises booked on Princess and Holland America.
