Help me pick our 2010 vacation

[Angelhalo]

DH and I are trying to decide what we want to do next year. We enjoy travelling, we like cruising (but NOT on Carnival), we like all inclusives, we like just visiting random places. We want to leave the US. We have done eastern caribbean cruises and wouldn't want to do that location again IF we did a cruise.

Has anyone been anywhere that they just LOVED? Help!

Oh and we're looking at spending $3k-4k total.

Alaska, cruise out of Seattle or Vancouver.

Banff, Alberta, Canada-stay at the Banff Springs Hotel--beautiful area and great hotel and an amazing spa!

European cruises on Royal Caribbean are really doable right now at $4K, even including airfare. Not kidding. Check it out. The prices are UNBELIEVABLY GREAT.

Have you been on one? Was it Freezing??? Was it mostly older people on the cruise? I'm intrigued.......

WoW! Can you direct me where to look? Any sites you like? A European cruise is something that definitely intrigues both of us.

A European cruise would definitely be fun. My fiance is dying to go on one of these (especially around Greece).

There's plenty of websites. I'm not sure what month you plan on going, but prices seem pretty reasonable. Here's one search that I did:

Thanks! I will definitely check it out! I've always wanted to go to Greece.

Sandals Regency in St Lucia. http://www.sandals.com/main/lucia/lu-home.cfm

We also love the island of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Lots of places to stay, we like Beaches Turks and Caicos.

Thanks! We looked at some all inclusives for our honeymoon and ended up on a Disney cruise so maybe this would be a good time to go back to that plan and try it. I have a question though. Do you get tired of being at the same place the whole time? Are there any kind of excursions or anything so that you can see other parts of the island? One of the resaons I like cruising is because you get to see multiple places all in one trip. I guess I kind of wonder if I will be bored. Is there a lot of stuff going on to participate in (non sports related!)

You go to Greece, and you're taking me with you.

Just let me borrow the yacht. Ill follow behind and you can toss buffet items to me.
