Years ago went on a Gulett cruise with mastheads had a great time the boat can take up to 12 and 3 Crew We stopped off most nights along the Turkish coast. And ranks as one of my favorite holidays I think you can do something similar in Greece as well

The misses and I have been on a few. We go with P&O and there first class, however there are not that many youngsters on them giving it large (as you say)

Your best bet is to go to Thomas Cook and see if they do a designed cruise for say 18 to 30?

Hope this helps?

Carabean ones ar best about 1200£ for 14 nights water fantatic along with weather. Start around nov to end march. med ones never appeal to me. Use p& o as trade in £s beer at pub prices food fantastic. Cannot fault it. If want chill out tme with some activities they are great. Did panama canal last time usually stop every day from 8 til 5. Occasional 2 days at sea. Pm me if want more info as lots of points to discuss.

Try Royal Carabbean, Independence of the Seas or the like, they have things like a flow-rider, climbing wall, ice rink. They do do the Greek Isles, which is a great trip. Suggest a trip to the travel agents and enquire.

Yes I've been on 5 cruises all with Royal Caribbean around the Caribbean and the med(if you just want to relax go to the Caribbean , f you like your city sightseeing then go for the Mediterranean ,highly recommend if you can go on the larger ships as they have the flow rider where you can surf. They have a 2 floor nightclub 10+ bars ,ice rink, theatre ,sports deck with mini golf , football, basketball etc

For groups of people Carnival Cruise Line is best and is known as the party cruise line. For old fuddy duddies like me Holland and America, Princess and PO are fine but not suited for groups of lads or lasses as they are quite boring. Royal Caribean is more family orientated. So if you want to go on the lash Carnival is your bets option.
