[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]don't go out of baltimore.  old ships, and more time at sea than at decent ports of call.

did a western med and alaska cruise  loved both.  have done Caribbean cruises out of tampa and Miami.  lots more options if you willing to fly first.

We a did a Bermuda cruis out of b-more with inlaws and family.  for the same reason the OP mentioned... it was just OK... [b] If your first cruise is on an older ship with limited ports of calls you will never go on a cruise again. [/b] Unless you go in with low expectations.

AGREED! I really only go on newer ships. There's a huge difference. I've probably been on 15 cruises.[/quote]

The ship that you go on makes a HUGE difference.  I've been on 30+ cruises (most of them as part of a family trip- not by preference on my part) and I'm getting to the point where I only want to be on the newer/bigger ships.  While any ship will have restaurants/pools/lounges, those tend to get overly crowded on the smaller ship because there is not much else to do.  Every night you get a schedule of activities for the next day and, on the smaller ships, even on sea days, the schedule is pretty empty.  When they start listing the times that the pool/restaurants *open* on the schedule, you know they are just trying to fill space!  But on the bigger ships, they have *much* more going on....so much that you will have multiple things that you want to do throughout the day.  [/quote]
