My favorite is Royal Caribbean and love love the eastern caribbean and south. Do not like western caribbean at all as it is always windy and some days they actually bar anyone from going out on deck. Armed guards on rooftops and the islands are just not so fun. IMHO I did not care for the small ship or the cruise to Alaska. That was a shock as that was on my bucket list. Did enjoy the whale watching excursion. Glad I went, but didn't care for it. My very favorite was the Greek Isle cruise - awesome!! Did a tour to Delos Island in the middle of the Agean Sea and my mind goes there often! Enjoy whatever you choose.
