Is Cruising Cool?

In an effort to plan a budget-friendly spring vacation, I am coming across a lot of cruises that seem to fit our needs. The problem is, there are so many cruise lines out there, it's hard to pick the one for you. Here's my gut instinct of some of the biggest lines.

Carnival: "The Fun Ship" I'm envisioning screaming children barreling head-first down a giant waterslide landing way too close to my frozen mararita.

Royal Caribbean: "Get Out There" I'll be pulled on stage with the steel-drum band, tripping over a seventy year-old in the congo line, and probably doing a sprinting tour of 5 islands in 4 days.

 
Celebrity: "A True Departure" With a name like "celebrity" immediately I fear overdressed, over-coiffed, and over-perfumed middle-aged women. Add some abstract sculptures and latte art, and you've got yourself a true departure.

Disney Cruise Line: No motto needed here! Unless I will be pouring beer down the beak of a drunken Donald Duck, you won't find me on this ship.

Norwegian Cruise Line: "Freestyle Cruising" Here you have busloads of old people thrilled that they can still eat their dinner at 2PM if they really want to, and happy that the word "free" is somehow incorporated.
