My First Cruise: Would I Book Another One?

My first time on a cruise was a four-day trip to the Whitsundays on the Carnival Encounter. Here are my thoughts on whether I'd do it again.

If you don't have kids, Virgin Voyages would be your best bet. As someone without kids, I went with a group of friends, and it was an absolute blast, with a ship clearly built for adults and not kids.
Will look to do a Mediterranean cruise with them next.
For me, I wouldn't consider a ship with kids on board, that's just not for me, for others, this could be very different.

Personally I wouldn’t judge cruising on one Carnival experience. There are many different types of cruises out there.
Expedition cruising is totally different and has a younger demographic than the big cruise ships. But also some destinations that you just need to cruise for the full experience such as Antartica.

My first cruise was NZ for 12 days. I didn’t want to leave, it was a blast from day one. Not many children, and food was delicious. Even our assigned waiter whenever he saw me would say “plenty of your dessert tonight!” It was a Princess cruise, and so very sad they berth at Sydney now, not Melbourne.
Our next is a Royal Caribbean cruise, to NZ, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Cruising is for me.
