Question
In your opinion, what is the best Cruise line and Cruise ship for first time cruisers?

Answer
Hi Ken,
I guess that's a matter of opinion... I can give you mine but you could ask 10 people and get 10 different answers. Royal Caribbean is my favorite cruise line... and I would probably say any of the Voyager class ships would be wonderful for a first time cruiser... the ships are amazing... they are the ones that have the street/promanade down thru the middle of the ship and the ice skating rink on these ships also.
Or possibly could try one of Princess's newer ships, or one of the NCL newer ships.
Here's a few cruise sites you may be able to get some more info here.
http://www.cruisecritic.com/ (These first 3 sites are similar, but Cruise Critic was the first and is the buisiest... can also go on the message boards and talk to people on there if you have questions about anything or everything cruise related... can also talk to people who have been on the same ship you've booked and even talk to people who will be on your same sailing too.)

Good luck in choosing your first cruise! :-) Becky
