01. The phrase that most closely describes us is:

Cautious travelers with some concerns about cruising
Concerned about the cost of cruising
Eager to begin with one of the top-rated lines
Willing to sacrifice quality to go on one of the popular major brands

02. Our destination preference is:

Open. Let's discuss it
One week Caribbean
Ten days or so in the Caribbean or going through the Panama Canal
Southern Europe (Italy/France/Spain etc.)
Scandinavia and Russia (Norway/Sweden/Russia/Denmark)
Tahiti
Mexico's West Coast
One Week Alaska Cruise
12-14 Day Alaska Cruisetour (land tour + one week cruise)

03. The perfect cruise length for us is:

One week
Ten to Fourteen days
Longer than two weeks
Two, back-to-back 7-night cruises with different ports

04. High-quality, on-board children's programs are:

Important to us since we will be traveling with children
Not that important - our children won't participate
A negative - we'd rather be on a ship geared towards adults

05. We would like to be on a ship characterized by:

A hard-working, blue collar clientele
Average-income working people who are down to earth
One of the better ships with an average income of $100,000 plus
One of the top three luxury lines where everything is included

06. The least important aspect of cruising is:

Quality of the food
Large, on-board casino and night action similar to Vegas
A sophisticated, low-key, elegant atmosphere
A wide choice of activities and shore excursions

07. The aspect of price that is most important is:

The bottom line cost of our cruise
Whether or not drinks are included
The percentage of discount we will receive
The price is justified by the quality of the experience

08. When we think of going on a large cruise ship, we think of:

Lots of activity choices for my family
A floating shopping mall
More safety and a smoother ride
We'd rather be on a more intimate, smaller ship

09. When we imagine ourselves on a cruise, we think first of:

Relaxing on my balcony with a good book
Exploring new ports and seeing as much as I can
Being pampered by a staff that understands my needs
Letting my hair down and feeling I can party

10. When we think of a small ship of less than 500 guests:

We think we will be bored. Too little to do.
It appeals to us because it implies more personal service
We think we will be around other successful people
We worry about the ship's ability to handle rough seas
We hear they are much more expensive than the mega-ships

11. We are going on this cruise to:

Rekindle our romance and celebrate our togetherness
Show the children a good time
Show the children that we can have a good time without them
Meet new, possibly lifetime friends
Enjoy quality time away from social pressures at home

12. If we were doing a seven-night cruise, we would prefer:

A full day in port each day
A combination of ports and days at sea
No ports at all

13. We would prefer a ship with an average age of:

As young as possible
40
50
60 +
A mix of all ages
It really doesn't matter

14. The aspect of cruising that most turns us off is:

Cruising with the "Joe Sixpack" masses
All of the extra charges once you have paid for your cruise
The cheesey entertainment
The lack of emphasis on learning and education
Not getting to know a place well
Nothing about cruising really turns us off

15. Our biggest concern about our first cruise is:

Periodic boredom
Sea Sickness
Being a blue blazer in a sea of tattoos and tee shirts
Quite frankly - price
We don't want to dress up on vacation
Being with folks with whom we share little in common

16. We prefer a ship that:

Is upper end and includes all liquor in the price
Includes wine with dinner but charges for drinks
Costs less and does not include liquor

17. Many ships feature big production musical entertainment:

We would attend these performances
Maybe once or twice during a cruise
We would prefer lecturers
We would probably avoid the theater

18. A really large casino aboard ship:

Is really important to us. It's a major plus.
We might go once or twice - but it's not important
We don't like Las Vegas and we certainly are not going on a cruise to gamble

19. The age of the ship:

Is something that really concerns me - I would prefer new to old
As long as the quality is there - I don't care about the age of the ship
If older ships are less expensive we have no problem with that

20. If given a choice aboard ship for dinner, I would prefer:

A buffet restaurant with lots of self-service options
A somewhat casual sit-down dining room with food I can easily pronounce
A quality fine dining experience planned by a celebrity chef

21. Ports are:

The most important part of a cruise
Really quite secondary to the cruise experience
I really need to feel that I am away from the big ship ports
I want to try the most popular ports on one of the big ships

22. On a per person, per day basis, without including airfare, I would expect to pay the following cruise fare:

$150 - $300
$300 - $500
$500 - $800
$800 - $1000
$1000+

23. We would love to sail on a ship with:

A financial lecturer
One of the stars of the Cooking Channel
A famous WWII Historian
A famous Rap Star
A Garden Expert
An NFL Star

24. The following best describes us on vacation:

Laid-back beach bums
Ready to relax from job-related stress
Anxious to learn as much as we can
People who appreciate the finer things in life

25. The kind of cruise experience we most want to avoid is:

Being part of a herd on a huge ship
Being on a ship that is too small to have the facilities we require
Being on a ship too large to get into the interesting ports
Being placed with the wrong group of people
