That settles it - you guys are great, thanks so much !!!

All other things being equal, a junior suite on Allure for $5,600 or Freedom for $3,200. Trying to decide.

Which would you choose and why ?

Thanks in advance.

We have a budget of 8k for a 7 night Caribbean cruise in late April or early May. It's a special occasion and even though it's our third cruise I have no idea where to start !!

Any cruise line, any ship, any itinerary (but must be Caribbean). The budget is just for the cruise reservation - 2 adults under 55.

If you could help me find the best cruise/cabin/value combo I'll love you forever !!

Re:Refunds

I just got through reading a news report on the outbreak where a cruise line representative stated something along the lines that "we will compensate passengers for the shortened cruise".

That doesn't sound like a full refund to me, I'd be expecting a discount voucher for another cruise.

Most shipborne outbreaks of Norovirus can be traced back to contaminated feces in food, once infected the patients themselves become the vector and spread the disease to other passengers by touch and "aerosolization" - i.e. they cough or sneeze on you.

Like it or not the most likely source for this outbreak is a kitchen worker who is a carrier, probably been carrying the virus for years with a natural immunity as do many from the sub-continent because they have to constantly live with such diseases. One day he doesn't wash his hands and feces remain embedded under his fingernails, he returns to his station and starts washing the salad..........end of cruise.
