What cruise line (ie. Carnival, Royal) would you recommend for african american couples in their mid 20s?

Can you answer Jane Doe’s question about Cruises?:

A group of friends and I are wanting to take a cruise. We are looking to do this as a couples event. We want to choose a cruise line that is diverse and caters to everyone of all backgrounds. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good cruise line that we would have a good time on? We are all in our mid 20s and enjoy going out and having a good time. Thanks!

    Cruises Feedback: Royal Caribbean is an excellent cruise line. They have lots of activities and cater to all ages. I’ve cruised with them multiple times and the service and food is always excellent. I’ve cruised with carnival too but they aren’t as good as royal caribbean.

    Cruises Feedback: I’ve been on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Princess lines and have to be honest that they all carter to younger group. They are so diverse that you’ll find all the employees from all different countries.

    The cruise line business is there to make you happy and meet all different needs from babies, toddlers, young teens, young adults and up.

    There’s so much to do that you probably won’t get it all done on your trip.

    Have a blast because I’ve been on 10 cruises and I’ve never had one bit of trouble.

    Cruises Feedback: Any of the larger cruise lines will be diverse enough for you, but honestly I went on a smaller cruise line where I was the only African American passenger (there was some staff) and I had absolutely no problems. We also went on Royal Caribbean and had a great time. My parents have been on Carnival and love that one too.

    Have a great time on your cruise and really check out your boat, that can make all of the difference. Each one has something special. Enjoy!

    Cruises Feedback: I honestly don’t think your race has anything to do with what cruise line you would choose. As to your age question, both Royal Caribbean and Princess would be my top picks. They have lots of activities on offer, and you’re bound to have a wonderful time. Enjoy your trip!

    Cruises Feedback: I’ve been on carnival and royal caribean. Both are diverse and cater to everyone of all backgrounds, but i found royal caribbean to be the better of the two. With regards to diversity, all cruise ships have tons of people working on the cruise from countries all over the world. In a matter of a day you will meet atleast 30 different cruise ship workers from 30 different countries. The guests on cruise ships are diverse too. You shouldn’t have a problem with that. I must say that royal caribbean had more activities and more shows to watch, i did get a little bored on the carnival cruise. Have fun !

    Cruises Feedback: I’ve been on Carnival, Royal and Norwegian All cater to everyone. I’ve had black, white, Yellow, East Indian, German ( you get the picture) at our table and they have always been welcome, as I hope I have always felt welcome at their table. I wouldn’t use a cruise line that made one group feel better than others. The only time I ever saw any tension was between two black couples at our table, One couple were “down home type” and the other were “downtown type”. They sorted it out between themselves and we all had a great time.

    Cruises Feedback: I would certainly recommend Carnival. During past cruises, we learn a lot from the other guests about other cruise lines. Everyone says that Carnival is the least strict and the most laid back. RCCL would probably be the next best. Celebrity and Holland America are more for the older crowd and we’ve been told on numerous occasions that a lot of their guests have power chairs and the lines move slower than molasses in January.
    You can learn a lot at cruisecritic.com.

    Cruises Feedback: I agree with the others here. What does your skin color have to do with it? I have been on Royal Caribbean, NCL and Princess and they are all good. Being a brother myself. I wasn’t sure what to expect the first time that I cruised. But I was surprised that I have always been treated with respect by crew members and by my fellow cruisers everytime I cruise and have always had a great time.

    Cruises Feedback: Carnival has a great group of younger passengers, particularly on their 3 and 4 day cruises out of Miami and Long Beach.

    Cruises Feedback: Def. Carnival. I am 18 yrs old and have been on 2 cruises with them. they tend to target a younger crowd, with different activities, Bob Marley bands (excellent) etc.
