Cruise Ships based in the US - News and Discussions

Thanks, can you suggest any good website, equivalent to booking.com or Expedia for researching and booking cruises?
You can also try vacationstogo.com. They have good discount cruises,

Also, depending on where you want to cruise to and also from, plus who the vacationers are, than you pick the line. For example, if you want to cruise from any FL port as a family with kids out of FL to caribbeans, than my #1 recommendation is Royal Caribbean. As a couple, look into Virgin Cruises. If you are looking to drink and have fun and have limited budget, Carnival cruises is the one to go.

I'd be careful with that Virgin Voyages recommendation since they are notorious for "Adults Only" cruises.
