Fundamental question. My wife and I are interested in taking a cruise. We are from the east coast (Boston area) and have it at least partially narrowed down.
Either an Alaskan Cruise or a European Cruise. I know that is hardly narrowed down...lol.
My question is: I am not now and never being much of a traveler, how best do I go about shopping for a cruise? I realize I can go to various websites and begin there but I have no way of knowing if I am being a prudent shopper. I feel like I do when I walk in a jewelry store. The people behind the counter know they have a sucker in the shop. They can just tell by looking. I know nothing about jewelry and likewise I know nothing about cruises.
Can someone suggest a website that they have used and trusted perhaps? Should I visit a tourist joint? Do they even still exist? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
