Recommendations for a Mediterranean cruise? What cruise line is best? What ship? What ports?

Overall I would have to say that Disney is one of my favorite lines. Although Disney does not have a Mediterranean Cruise right now, they are offering one for next year. That being said, Princess, Celebrity, Oceania and Crystal are all really great. You probably would also enjoy a line like Royal Caribbean or Norweigan.

It also depends on what your budget is. Carnival is the least expensive line, Royal Caribbean costs a little more but has much nicer quality, Celebrity costs more but has great food.

If you are going with kids, I would probably say Royal Caribbean would be a good choice. It is still a pretty nice cruise, but there is plenty to do for the kids. But the best Mediterranean Cruise is probably on Celebrity, theirs is really great, they offer great cruises all over. But Princess also offers a really nice cruise.

All of the Mediterranean Cruises are really nice. As far as which is best, it just depends on what you would like to do. Here are some links that should really help you: http://cruisecritic.com/ports/area.cfm?area=15

You will be able to find lots of great information that should be able to help you decide.

If you are planning to go this summer, I wouldn’t wait too long to book. Usually cruises are booked about a year or more in advance. So it is going to be hard to find availability on some cruises and prices may be higher, as will air.

Hope this helps!
