I'm (we're) considering a cruise around Thanksgiving. Never been on one. Since we've never done it, I'm thinking one of the shorter duration trips.
From the looks of that I have reviewed, I think I want to target the EASTERN Caribbean, the SOUTHERN, but probably avoid WESTERN. Your opinions?

What are the best stops for a cruise newby? Also, I would like any feedback on particularly good (or bad) experiences with cruise lines or particular ships.
