Hi All
I am hoping to book a cruise in the next month but cannot decide whether to do a 4 5 or 7 day . There is about a £800(approx $1200)difference between the 4 and the 7 day but having never done a cruise I was wondering if 7 would be too long.Was thinking of western cruise.There will be me DB DD8 and my mom who is 71 and will be a suprise for her.She will think we are doing 2 weeks in orlando the we are going to suprise her.She is not well and this is something she has always wanted to do but never had the money,so we are paying for her as a thankyou for all she has done. Also regards cabins obviosly we need to keep costs down but is it worth the extra for a porthole? I have read on here some think that the virtual porthole is fine as not much time spent in the room. The window does sound nice though and I think there is a little more room in the ocean view cabins. Is there a deck you would avoid ie decks 1 or 2 or does it not matter. My momm has a wheelchiir so would we need a special cabin?Lastly do DCL ever have a sale or offers on and am I wise to book early?
Sorry for all the questions but want to book soon.I am looking at end Nov /Dec 2011 depending on cruise dates.
Thanks
