199.0. "CARIBBEAN CRUISE RECOMMENDATIONS?" by AIMHI::KROCK () Fri Mar 16 1990 11:52

    CARIBBEAN CRUISE RECOMMENDATIONS!
    
    COULD ANYONE RECOMMEND A NICE CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINE?  I'VE HEARD
    OF CARNIVAL, BUT UNDERSTAND THEY'RE A REAL PARTY SHIP.  IS THAT 
    TRUE?    
    ALSO, HAS ANYONE TAKEN A NORWEGIAN CRUISE IN THE CARIBBEAN?  THEIR
    PRICES SEEM TO BE QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN THE COMPETITION.  DOES THAT
    MEAN THAT THE SHIP MAY SAIL TO MORE LOCATIONS?  WHY WOULD THE PRICE
    BE ALL THAT MUCH MORE ?
    
    HAS ANYONE EVER GONE ON DOLPHIN CRUISE LINE?  HOW WAS IT?  
    
    HOW COMFORTABLE ARE THOSE BUNKS BEDS?! 
    
    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR RESPONSE,
    
    WENDY

    "What the President MENT to say was..." that you should use mixed
    case in notes and you should do a dir/title=caribb first... that
    pointed me to notes 8,46, 58, 125, and 199.
    
    Enjoy.

199.4Small Ship in the CaribbeanATREUS::CARNEYFri Apr 20 1990 13:0625
    I went on a Caribbean cruise during Christmas, 1989 on the New Shoreham
    II based out of Warren, Rhode Island.  It holds only 100 passengers so
    it is a family type atmosphere.  Dining tables are family style and
    seats are not assigned so you can table hop and get to know everyone. 
    During the Christmas vacation we had people of all ages from 12 years
    up to 85 years old.  Ordinarily, I think they cater mostly to upper
    middle aged people.
    
    They have a wonderful invention/patent called a bow landing.  The ship
    can go right up onto a deserted beach area and put down a ramp and the
    passengers can walk right out onto the beach!  You don't need a water
    taxi.
    
    You don't need to buy any new clothes because it is a very casual
    atmosphere.  Course the food was just wonderful!
    
    Perhaps this is not what you are looking for in a cruise but it may be
    of some interest to others.  From May through Oct. this company has a
    2 ships that cruise up the East Coast, stopping at points of interest
    along the way; then through the Saint Lawrence Seaway,
    stopping at Montreal and Quebec; and then they go back to the VI's and
    the other ship goes to Berleze.

199.5More info on the New Shoreham II pleaseTLE::BENTLEYFri Apr 20 1990 13:5612
    re .4
    
    I'm very much interested in having more information about the New
    Shoreham II.  We would be going the last week in February (1991).  
    What is its itinerary?  Do you book through regular travel agents 
    or is there a direct address to write to for information?
    
    We are always looking for something a little different than the usual
    Caribbean cruises and this sounds interesting.
    
    Thanks for any info you can provide.  (If you prefer, you can send me
    mail at TLE::BENTLEY.)

    PS.
    
    For those that are interested the American-Canadian Lines (New Shoreham
    II) has an 800 number--800 556-7450.  My daughter used to be the cruise
    director, so tell them Jennifer sent you.  
    
    Happy sailing!
