Sign yourself up on www.cruisecritic.co.uk And check reviews, like you would campsites here on UKCS. There are many cruise lines, they each have their own character, all of them suit someone (or they'd be out of business). Like camp sites. But we've been on cruises with P&O, Cunard, Celebrity, Cruise & Maritime, and some we've loved but others we haven't. However, other people would disagree with us. Cruise lines vary so much and we don't know what you're looking for by way of cabin standars, entertainment, dressing up - or not, service, ambience, bar prices, stuff for children.... Ultimately you get what you pay for, but there's no point paying for something you don't want.
For what it's worth, we have twice booked a cruise in good time (wanted that destination) only to find just before departure that we could have got the same trip in the same cabin type for a half or a third of what we'd paid, which is frustrating (to say the least) especially when folk gloat about how little they'd paid.

We have done 9 cruises in total over a number of years, and splashed out on a 23night transatlantic voyage onboard P&O Arcadia the year my husband retired. We have also been onboard Holland America ships, and a few of the Thomson ships, but after the last cruise we had with them we vowed never to go with them ever again, the onboard standards of food, entertainment and service had deteriorated greatly in comparison with previous cruises, and the onboard food was more like works canteen food than fine dining, ok if you dont mind 'smart price' quality cooked meats and burgers ect on the buffet, but steaks and smoked salmon as offered by P&O it certainly was not.
Sadly due to health restrictions our cruising days are over, it was getting far too expensive to get insurance for me and my husband to travel on the cruise ships, so we enjoy ourselves in the Uk with our caravan instead, and are still discovering some amazing places and lovely little pubs to dine in, and all without the agro of flight delays and bagage battles that overseas holidays bring with them.
