<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

My mother has been fighting breast cancer for the last two years and has just been diagnosed terminal (approximately 1 year) in October of 2012.  I was living in LA for the last 5 years and moved back to Michigan in order to be around the family.  Since I have been home she has expressed a few different things that she would like to do if she is truly living out the last year of her life.  The one thing that she seems to really get excited talking about is going on a cruise as a family.  I am getting a decent tax return this year and would like to surprise her, my dad and sister by booking a cruise.  I am looking for unique experiences at a somewhat reasonable price. I haven't ever been on a cruise, don't have any experience planning for one and need some help. I am 27, my sis is 25 and my parents are 53 and 51 years old, so I am looking for something that will be a good time for all of us (Gambling, Clubs/Bars, Pools for my sister and I but also relaxing for my parents) Where are good places to visit? What has been the most relaxing cruise experience you have ever had? What are good places to look for deals?

Thanks for your help!
