My question is, out of Royal Carribean and Carnival which one would be a good cruise to ship from? Should I buy my tickets from the actually cruise website or a third party? How far in advance? Do you have to pay for the cruise at once or can you set up payment installments? Should we get a suite or balcony or does it really matter? Which cruise is better for couples aged 21-25 on there honeymoon?

Also we are going on a seven day EASTERN carribean cruise, if that matters.
I definently do not want to spend more than $2000…2$500 max.
sorry, $2500…and that includes EVERYTHING!

Those who have said that Royal Caribbean does not cruise out of Galveston are completely wrong. According to Royal Caribbean’s web site there will be cruises leaving from Galveston several times every month starting this year in November 2010. And there are plenty of great cruises that will fit within your budget. Here’s a link to the Royal Caribbean cruises available: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/search/vacationSearchResult.do;jsessionid=0000CNT7fRyTOh0NskCYcB703Ui:13hldcctq?promoType=&cS=EXPVSCH&cruiseTourOnly=false&dest=ANY&duration=ANY&date=ANY&port=GAL&includeAdjascentPorts=Y&ship=ANY&selectedCurrencyCode=USD&price=ANY&hasMilitary=Y&state=&x=64&y=6

The ships that Royal will cruise out of Galveston are its Voyager of the Seas and its Mariner of the Seas. The ship have different names but are identical; they are 2 of 5 of the RC’s Voyager Class of ship. I have cruised on the Mariner and its a great ship. It has just about the most on-board activities that you’ll find on any ship. Only Royal C’s larger Freedom and Oasis class ships have more to do on board. You can take a look at the features of the Voyager at this web link: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do;jsessionid=0000CNT7fRyTOh0NskCYcB703Ui:13hldcctq?br=R&shipClassCode=VY&shipCode=VY

The Royal C ships do have special pricing for the military and you can get a balcony cabin for about $900 each in January, 2011: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cruiseDetails/itineraryAndPricing.do;jsessionid=0000CNT7fRyTOh0NskCYcB703Ui:13hldcctq?packageCode=VY07W058&sailDate=1110123&date=ANY&selectedCurrencyCode=USD&promoType=&hasSenior=&hasMilitary=Y&hasFireandPolice=&state=

You can pay more for a suite but I think you will enjoy the balcony cabin just fine. You should book as early as possible so you have a better choice of cabins. You can book on line or call RC at the number on their web site and they will help you get booked. You’ll need a deposit of $250. per person (total of $500) and then you will have until 65-70 days before the cruise to pay the balance. You can make payment (right on line) any time you want. The prices listed do not include taxes and port charges which will be about $100 per person; maybe less. You’ll notice also that the cruise prices vary by date so you can save money by picking a date with the lowest price.

Your other option is Carnival Cruise Line which has the Carnival Conquest doing Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises out of Galveston. You can look at the features of the ship at this web link:http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/ships/carnival_conquest/default.aspx?shipCode=CQ

These are the winter cruises: http://www.carnival.com/CMS/Search2/Default.aspx?&embkCode=GAL&dur=D2&StateCode=NC&PastGuest=Y&Senior=Y

and these are Spring cruises: http://www.carnival.com/CMS/Search2/Default.aspx?&embkCode=GAL&dur=D2&StateCode=NC&PastGuest=Y&Senior=Y
It also has good prices and that’s as usual because it is the budget cruise line. Note that costs also vary by date. Your deposit about will be about the same and also Carnival will help you with booking.

While the Carnival ship does both Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises in my opinion the Western Caribbean is a much better itinerary. Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Jamaica and Belize are much better port stops than the Bahamas and Key West, the Eastern Caribbean itineraries offered by Carnival.

My recommendation is select a Royal Caribbean cruise because the ship is better and the food, entertainment, and service will also be better.

Staying at an Air Force Condo by the beach. Can’t remember exact location and AF site down for maintenance.

A few questions:

#1 – I know it will be cool, but is it super cold during that time?

#2 – Is it easy to find sea shells/sea glass on the beaches of Galveston? Does anyone know a great place to get shells and sea glass?

#3 – Any must go places? Any great shops (specific places) to get shells?

Super excited.

Thanks for your time!

1 – The average weather the first week in October is lows in the mid 50′s and highs in the low to mid 90′s so it’s great beach weather!

#2 – It is NOT easy to find sea shells on the beaches. Sorry, but we hardly have any, at least good ones. They are mostly small broken pieces or if you find a whole one it’s tiny or the plain jane white standard shaped shell. Nothing cool

#3 – I’d make sure to eat at Gaido’s Seafood Restaurant on the seawall and make sure you visit the Strand for shopping and such. If you come on the first Saturday of a month make sure to catch the outdoor movie in the Strand. I can’t offer much advise on where to buy sea shells either but most of the shops have some (I highly doubt they are local shells).

I’ve added some links for you.

Sand N’ Sea has really good deals!

It is found here in coastal areas of Texas, locally Port Arthur, Galveston and Corpus Christi. They are very tall with a thin trunk. The leaves are dark green and appear to be in a needle type form. They have that pyramidal form; they have a set of two branches with leaves then a gap. go up a bit, a branches with leaves then a gap.
they are green year round; today it was 48 degrees and all the trees in Galveston were in their winter stage EXCEPT THAT ONE.

We are desperate for an answer as to what it is, because we wish to purchase some for our yard.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
