    @boots what do you consider short? 7 day?

    @Laurie given my typical cycle of work obligations, seven days would probably be the longest I could do.

    7 days is the most for us as well :nod:

    My first few cruises were on RC over 10 years ago. Since then, we have mainly cruised on Carnval and that was strictly based on price. Cruising is the cheapest way I have found to take a week long vacation with my family and enjoy every minute of it. I stick with carnival now based on "casino offers" I get. I don't normally bring a whole lot to gamble with. Usually under 500$ for a 5 day cruise. But let me tell you, carnival is great at recognizing their gamblers and show it by sending some pretty great deals. My wife and I are headed on an 8 day cruise to Aruba in June. Ocean view room for a grand total of $349. Not each. TOTAL. With a $100 onboard credit!
    As far as winning in cruises, I've had good luck and bad luck. I cruised in January and lost my ass. But, I also took a 5 day cruise last September and only lost $37

    Holy crap! That is a heck of a deal. I would not mind losing in their casino if they practically gave me the cruise like that.

    I've been waiting for you to chime in JR! I've also cruised Carnival number of times, but it seems like they have really stepped up their game recently with regard to casino offers. If I start a Carnival thread here, will you share of your experiences there? I bet there are lots of folks that are close to Carnival homeports that might love to give them a try.

    It includes food & some non-alcoholic beverages, but cocktails are an additional charge. Generally, the casinos on ships don't give out drinks, although sometimes that can be fixed :nod:

    I think I am going to give this some serious thought! Thank you!

    I've only been on one cruise and that was on Carnival about 10 years ago with my sister. I keep thinking I'll book another cruise and try again, I was pretty bored most of the time but, it was very relaxing.
