Top cruise forums?
Any veteran cruise takers know of a flyertalk equivalent for cruise lines for the uninitiated? I will be taking my first cruise later this year and could use some pointers. Thanks.

Hi Dan,
The two major cruise forums are:
CruiseCritic.com
http://boards.cruisecritic.com/
CruiseMates.com
http://www.cruisemates.com/forum/
If you're looking for message board catering to luxury cruises, there are two options:
Luxury Cruise Talk from Brown & Keene Travel
http://www.LuxuryCruiseTalk.com
Gold Standard Forum from Eric Goldring Travel
http://www.goldringtravel.com/forum.aspx
Cruise Critic definitely gets the most traffic so it's an excellent place to begin. Happy cruising!

Dyslexic me! For a millisecond I spotted the question Tom Cruise Forums? 
My experience is that a decent number of people on Cruise Critic are also FTers, so you might find some gurus who know the tricks of the air, land and sea.
I have also learned that some people gifted with finding deals and mistakes, have benefited from ridiculously great deals on cruising, too.
Top Cruise (not Curse), indeed.

But yeah, if you're a first time cruiser, just going through all the info on cruise critic is more than enough.

Cruisecritic tends to be either very good or very bad in terms of info depending on which cruise line or area of the world you are traveling in. I have seen downright wrong info posted there.
Visit a couple of sites. I too like the GoldStandard forum already mentioned. It just started but it is really good. The Blog from Eric Goldring is very interesting.
