Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that I would do the Home Port if I were you for your group

dress codes on most mainstream cruise lines for breakfast and lunch are very casual anything but a swimsuit is fine

I would probably budget for about $5 a day in ones

ship noise varies so much from ship to ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider home port cruising to save money and avoid long drives
For breakfast and lunch, wear casual clothing; dress up for dinner
Budget $5 to $10 per day in singles and fives for tipping
Check Cruise Critic for specific ship dining reviews
