dmb814 Posted June 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hello, I'm currently enrolled in a marketing class. We got to pick a company or theme that we were passionate about. Well I picked Cruising. But my instructor wanted me to go to Travel Agency and watch people as the purchased their vacation. Unfortunely this cannot happen as I work full-time and school full time. Between both of those and homework, I have no time. So I have gained insightful information in the past about different cruises on Cruise Critic for personal vacations. So I come again for school. My questions are: 1. What makes a good Cruise Line for you? 2. Are you loyal to that Cruise Line? Any help would be very appreicate. Thank You Diane B.

The Monocled Mutineer Posted June 22, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2007 1. British style cruising, which essentially means P&O. 2. Yes, although we have tried Cunard, Fred Olsen and HAL (all very good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted June 22, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I like a British cruise line which has a mixture of formality and informality. I like traditional dining (sat with the same people each night). I like the personal service which a British line seems to give. We have cruised both with P&O and Fred Olsen. We loved our first cruise on Fred Olsen. We liked the smaller ship and the friendliness of the staff. When we tried P&O it gave us more facilities and, for the same price, a larger cabin. We have looked at Fred Olsen again but when we compare prices we can get better value with P&O. I don't think at the moment that I am inclined to try a different line - maybe Princess if we decide to go on an Alaskan cruise. Hope this is of help.
