What is the best way to find a cruise in 2011 from Texas to Europe?
I will be traveling by myself, preferably for only 5 or so days and it will be in either August or September. This is also my first cruise and I’m going more for fun than elegant.
Sorry my friend but there is no such cruise. First of all a cruise from the US to Europe takes at a minimum 6 or 7 days and those cruises leave from New York City on Cunard Cruise Line. A cruise from Texas to Europe would take twice as long. Here’s and example; it leaves Galveston, Texas on May 1, 2011 on the Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas : http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cruiseDetails/itineraryAndPricing.do;jsessionid=00000a1hwc9V8UKEPZsnUMCO_Or:12hbiocus?packageCode=VY14T055®ion=T.ATL&ship=ANY&date=ANY&selectedCurrencyCode=USD&promoType=&hasSenior=&hasMilitary=&hasFireandPolice=&state=
Transatlantic cruises other than those on Cunard are very rare and you cannot pick a month to go but MUST go when the cruise lines are repositioning ships from the US to Europe and all of those cruises are going to be much longer than a week, let alone 5 days.
What you may want to consider and what you CAN do is a cruise from Galveston, Tx to the Caribbean for 5 days or 7 days and you will have a choice of a couple cruise lines like Carnival and Royal Caribbean and many dates: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/search/vacationSearchResult.do;jsessionid=00000a1hwc9V8UKEPZsnUMCO_Or:12hbiocus?promoType=&cS=EXPVSCH&cruiseTourOnly=false&dest=CARIB&duration=ANY&date=ANY&port=GAL&includeAdjascentPorts=Y&ship=ANY&selectedCurrencyCode=USD&price=ANY&state=&x=67&y=7
