Which Cruise Lines Have you Cruised On?

[RevNeal]

This is a difficult poll to post because there are more than 10 cruise lines that one might have cruised on. So, I chose 9 of the more popular ones and then added an "other."

If you've answered "other," please list it below. :) Among those "others" might be Crystal, Radisson, Seabourn, or Silversea ... just to name a few of the more expensive examples. :)

[jhannah]

HAL and Princess for me. All in the family! (Don't think however that I'll associate much with the Carnival cousins! :D )

[dakrewser]

"other" = the late, lamented, Renaissance

[Anorak33]

Cunard ,HAL, Princess, Big Red Boat, just about to try Orient Lines Marco Polo and MSC Lirica

I do like my first three in the list and feel a little trepidation trying the last two, especially the Lirica which I fear may be very different.

Any line which has freshly squeezed orange juice has got my support. I do hope HAL don't drop it! Its great seeing those oranges being juiced in front of me.

[jazzsea]

All except Disney. And a few that you didn't mention. Radisson, Oceania, American Hawaii, Explorer Starship (now the Song of Flower), Sitmar, Royal, Regency. Now I'm going to think all day of the ones I've forgotten. Oh, Emerald Seas, Commodore, Admiral, Delta Queen.

And after all of them I will still come back home to Holland America.

[Lisa63]

My "others" are lines that are no longer in business, including Dolphin and Premier.

Within a few weeks, I'll be able to add HAL to the list of lines we've cruised. :)

[Krazy Kruizers]

:)

Have been on Cunard, Princess, NCL, RCI, and HAL.

One of these days we want to try Crystal.

:)

[FlorenceItaly]

Have cruised Carnival, Royal Caribbean, HAL, and will be cruising Celebrity for the first time next Spring.

Marie

[Orcrone]

Have cruised Carnival, Royal Caribbean, HAL, and will be cruising Celebrity for the first time next Spring.

MarieMarie,

Don't look back, I think I'm following you. I've cruised with Carnival and Royal Caribbean, with my first and second HAL cruises coming up soon. Guess Celebrity will have to be next.:D

[catlib55]

We have cruised on Carnival three times, RCI once, HAL once (another coming in Dec.!!), Dolphin three times, Epirotiki once, Regency once. I can't think of any other cruise lines we have tried.
All were wonderful cruises and we had some great times on them, with and without kids.
I love cruising!!
'Til we sail on Rotterdam,
Mary Ellen

[marco]

I've been on "all of the above" (and I participated in the poll) with the exception of Disney and Orient. As for "others", MSC, and Crystal and several others that don't sail any more. Royal Viking, Home, Incres, American Hawaii, Eporitki, Italian, Greek, Swedish American, Regency, French

[Candy]

Anyone remember the old Seawind Crown? She was our first.

[doone]

I have sailed NCL, Homes Line, Premiere and then found my home on Holland America.

[elmorejj]

Carnival..many moons ago!! Princess, Costa, P&O HAL.....jean

[sail7seas]

Princess and Celebrity about five or six times each; RCI once (that was enough for us);and Carnival once....sort of, but that is a long story.

[Luvinlife1018]

Carnival
Hal (the best)
and
Premiere (the worst)

[LizB1]

Other cruise lines included: French Line (Transatlantic), Cunard (several times), Home Lines (three times), NCL (several times), RCC (several times), Carnival. Always went back to HAL!!

[RuthC]

I sailed Carnival when I was young and single and gorgeous. Don't have that kind of energy anymore. I got about seven hours sleep (total) in the 3-night cruise.

My "other" lines were Royal Viking (excellent) and Chandris.
I suppose that last one could have been listed under Celebrity, but they're not at all the same.

[RevNeal]

I was really frustrated when I started putting this poll together; with just 10 slots I had to pick and choose ... plus leave one blank for "other." It wasn't ideal, but it seems to be working. :)

[RevNeal]

HAL and the Orient Line. I loved the Marco Polo ... great ship, fantastic crew ... quite a bit like HAL.

[Roadguy]

Only HAL, I guess I'm a homer!!!....

[Lovebirds]

First cruise was on American Hawaii.

We will be adding a Carnival cruise in October and then HAL in January.

[CLapple]

Radisson and Silver Seas.

[Lois R]

3 times on Celebrity...I love em..what can I say?;) ....once on Sovereign of the Seas...July 2003....for a 3 nighter...I won't be doing that one again...

Many years ago....Carnival and the Big Red Boat....

My first HAL cruise is coming up....wow...5 weeks from Saturday:D

[Orcrone]

Princess and Celebrity about five or six times each; RCI once (that was enough for us);and Carnival once....sort of, but that is a long story.And you know we'd love to hear that one sometime.:)

[FlorenceItaly]

And you know we'd love to hear that one sometime.:)

I was thinking the very same thing!

Marie

[jstducky]

HAl 3x, most recently 1 month ago
Carnival once
NCL once
Princess once (don't think I'll try it again)
RCI for the first time in 37 days! woo hoo!

[saltydog28]

The first time was on Carnival, than we sat home for many years. Then HAL-Celebrity-Radisson.

Pat.

[Keith Rita]

Carnival x 3, HAL x 5 (#6 booked), Celebrity x 2, and RCI x1

[Johanna7]

The following lines in addition to those marked:

Chandris
Epirotiki
Air Tours/My Travel (whatever their name is now)
American Hawaiian Cruises
Royal Cruise Line
(also Royal Caribbean but Royal Cruise Lines was different)

[muzzy 10]

On NCL, 3x, On Rccl, 2x, On princess 2x, On celebrity3x. Others were Royal Majesty , now defunct, once; Dolphin2x; Sun Line, once. Looking foward to HAL. This line seems to inspire such loyalty! I'm impressed!

[cruisinjudy]

My "Others" are American Hawaii Cruises and Majesty Cruise Line.

[CaptData]

I've cruised Princess and RCCL will be cruising HAL next. :)

[SharonN]

Our first 4 cruises were on Regency all of which we really enjoyed though we had nothing to compare them with(much older ships that needed some work but the service and food were great). We then tried Carnival once which almost put an end to our cruising it was so horrible. We decided to try again and found the Delta Queen a very different and wonderful experience, and then American Hawaii as it was the only way to do it in 7 days. We then tried HAL for the first time and fell in love with it. 4 of the last 5 have been with HAL. The other would have been but their dates didn't fit what we needed so we tried RCI. It was ok but we really prefer HAL. Next up we try the American Queen and then back to HAL in Jan. Would love to do more but there's just not enough vacation time!

[HeatherInFlorida]

Windstar (which is essentially HAL), and the rest have all gone to the big sea in the sky: Regency, Seawind and Royal Viking.

[bobpatj]

Our first 4 cruises were on RCI, 1 on Celebrity and 7 on HAL. I did sail the Lurline (old Matson Line) to Hawaii, way back when.

[olderpilot]

HAL, Princess, Celebrity (coming up) and once on Crystal, which is overated (and overpriced) in my humble opinion.

[Vicar]

First time on RCCL
Twice on Carnival
A day cruise from Fla. to Freeport on the old Sea Escape (does that count?) :)

A group of us are planning a cruise for 05, ship and itinerary still up in the air.


Trying to persuade GF into going on S7S's Maasdam :)

[Calliope]

Oh my, let's see now. First and foremost for 98 times, and still counting, The Delta Queen Steamboat Co. There is also Cunard (pre and post-Carnival), Carnival itself, Princess (pre-Carnival), Costa (pre-Carnival), NCL, American Hawaii, Dolphin, and Royal Caribbean.

I guess that it's pretty clear that with 98 cruises and cruise number 99,100,101 and 102 booked with The Delta Queen Steamboat Co., it is tops in my book! But as far as the blue water ships go, give me my fourth HAL trip anyday.

[terrascape]

Had 4 very nice cruises on Regency in the early 90's. Took several years off from cruising looking after aging parents. Returned to cruising in 2002. Have done 6 HAL and 1 RCCL.

[longtimecruiser]

I was on Celebrity once, Cunard several times and Hal has been my most cruises.All were great cruises and there were good things to be said for each line. Would go on Cunard or Celebrity again any time.

[richkat]

We have also cruised all of the mass market cruise lines. Our "other" cruise line was also Premiere -- the Big Red Boat. But how about a poll for which cruise line have you cruised the most? Our Thanksgiving cruise on the Zuiderdam will be the tie breaker in HAL's favor.

-- Rich and Kathy

[blndee77]

Other: Commodore

[iluvcruzin]

I've sailed RCCL the most. Also Carnival, NCL and Premier. Coming up - HAL and Princess. Looking for a May Celebrity cruise currently to add to the collection.

Hi Calliope!! Howdy Neighbor! I used to work at the River Center and watch the Delta Queen come into port. It's such a cute steamboat. I have a friend who sails twice a year on her.

[ecormier]

Only HAL. Thought about booking another line but HAL kept coming up with the best deals. I guess knowing how wonderful HAL is makes it more difficult to try anything else.

Cheers, Elizabeth

[CruisinMatt]

Other for me, padre....;)

[mhshapiro]

Most of our cruising has been on Crystal.

[GrammyPL]

When I was single in the 50's I was on a Swedish ship called the Kungsholm or Gripsholm (I think that was the name) Since married only been once on Carnival and then we found a home with HAL. We now have HAL trips 13, 14 and 15 planned. Penny

[Marianne]

First one was Holland America -- Discovered I loved sailing.
Second cruise on Celebrity -- Really enjoyed that cruise line, had lots of fun. Third cruise on Renaissance which has left a bad taste in my mouth after being stranded by them in Istanbul.
Went back to HAL, which has now become our home, and is definitely our first favorite.

[Mary Ellen]

Besides the obvious (HAL), I also marked 'other' for 2 (now defunct) Lines - Royal Viking (wonderful) and Premier "The Big Red Boat" (shudder - the only cruise where the first thing I did upon arriving at the first port was to locate a TA to find out about airfares back to FL).

[serendipity1499]

As a single person my first cruise was in the Greek Islands & Turkey on the "Orion" in 1970... It may have been the Helenic Cruise Line, but can't be sure..Had a fantastic time on that cruise..

I worked in (& retired from) the Airline Industry & had a difficult time trying to sell a cruise to my DH & our good friends, who also were Airline employees.. Finally after a hard sell, we all went on the "Southwind" a Norwegian-Caribbean Ship in 1983.. What a wonderful cruise that was..We had the best Waiter & Bus Boy in the industry..Our friends & DH were hooked on cruising after that..Since then have been on NCL three times & it will be 5 times on HAL after our trans-atlantic on the "Westerdam".. Hal is much more Chic than NCL..We enjoy having the same table-mates & waiters for the entire cruise, and do not care for Open Seating!

[Batinfla]

Have been on all 9 listed (HAL the most, 9 times, 100+days), plus several other now defunct lines -- Eastern, OdessAmerica, Regal, Premier. Have also been on Uniworld River cruises in Europe.

[eroller]

I've sailed on 7 of the 9 lines listed (haven't tried Orient Lines or Disney). Other lines include: Royal Viking, Home Lines, Sitmar, Chandris, Premier, Dolphin, Italian Line, and Eastern Cruise Line. 57 cruises total. Favorite line is Silversea, and favorite ship current sailing is probably QM2. Favorite ships of all time were REMBRANDT (ex ROTTERDAM V), LEONARDO DA VINCI, and NORWAY (before the decks were added).

Cruise number 58 coming up in October on VOYAGER OF THE SEAS.

Ernie

[thulewx]

7 out of the 9, plus Dolphin, Crystal, Windjammer, and my favorite - Radisson!!

[teencruiser18]

I was on HAL for the 1st time last week, and in 1990 I was on Premier, but as I was 18 months old I don't remember it- my mother does have a picture of me falling asleep at dinner and my face landing in my food.

[lddam]

Our first experience was Premier (The Big Red Boat), and for all that can be said negatively about that ship, it did serve to get us hooked on cruising. Since that time, we've been on Regency, MSC, Carnival, Royal Olympic, NCL, Celebrity and HAL. As I've stated on another thread, variety seems to be the spice of life for us and we will probably continue to try different lines. That being said, however, we'd do another HAL or Celebrity in a New York minute. Can't say the same for the others.

Next on the agenda, ..., GCT's Vienna to Amsterdam on the River Adagio in October, 2004.

Dave

[DFD1]

Candy asked about the old Seawind Crown. We had a great cruise on her several years ago from Aruba thru the southern Caribbean. I believe she was the old Vasco DiGama, originally built to run from Lisbon and Spain around Africa to India and back. We had a really good time on that old ship. The new ones are marvelous, but the old ones were fun too. It's a bit sad when a ship that you have enjoyed goes to the breakers or just fades away.

[CGMan]

With the exemption of Orient and Disney, We have cruised on all the other listed, plus (other) the Dolphin Line (Seabreeze out of Miami and Oceanbreeze out of Aruba) and the Regal out of Port Manatee, Fla.

[HeatherInFlorida]

She had been put up for auction a few years back and Doug recently posted that, sadly, she ended up being sold for scrap.

Sad news for me, because one of our favorite Southern Caribbean cruises was on the old girl.

food.
Welcome back, Teencruiser. Hope you had a wonderful time.

I remember before your cruise you asked about formal wear for your brothers. How did it go?

Would you do us the favor of posting some comments about your cruise. It is so often we comment about teens on ships but very rare when we have the chance to hear from a teen about their perspective.

It would be great IMO if you would tell us a little of your impression of your cruise.

Thanks if you think you will do that.

[glrounds]

10 out of 12 cruises on Carnival (don't hit me with sticks :D )

First cruise on a Pacquet ship (don't remember the name), similar to S7S's Destiny cruise. TOTAL DISASTER. A transition cruise from LA to Vancouver. arrived at port, L A Sheriff's Dept had the ship locked down, arrested the entire band, left port hours late and everything went downhill from there. Incredible food, however. In Vancouver I told my wife I'd never ever get on a cruise ship again. :mad:

Carnival Tropicale - 3
Carnival Jubilee - 3
NCL Seaward - 1
Carnival Elation - 2
Carnival Glory - 1
Carnival Pride - 1

Considering either the Carnival Spirit or one of the Vista-class HAL ships (same hull) for my next cruise either this fall or early Spring. :D

[BLStokes23]

Have enjoyed each and every one of our cruises- 4 on NCL (love the new ships), 1 on Premier - The Big Red Boat, and 9 so far on HAL.

[CDRMark]

Have held off since we are taking "our" first cruise in November (HAL). Multiple cruises on my part on Uncle Sam's Big Grey Boats.

[dexter]

My wife convinced me to cruise four years ago and since we have cruised:
1. Carnival Fantasy
2. Carnival Imagination
3. Carnival Fascination
4. Carnival Pride
5. Carnival Glory
6. Grand Princess
7. Celebrity Constellation
8. HAL Zuiderdam (8/28)

[Cerinda]

RSSC Navigator and Paul Gauguin. Oosterdam this spring.

[ANSalberg]

Princess, HAL, Cunard, Celebrity, and Carnival [ With my cyber bunch -It was WONDERFUL;2 cruises] We have never had a "bad" cruise [ I'm not sure there IS such a thing] Of the variety we've sailed - HAL is our favorite with Cunard a close second [ but based on only ONE cruise- the Caronia 2 years ago; It was WONDERFUL] Celebrity was not bad- neither was Carnival. Princess was OK -But HAL is like coming HOME!
Anne

[cactuslady]

If you've answered "other," please list it below. :) Among those "others" might be Crystal, Radisson, Seabourn, or Silversea ... just to name a few of the more expensive examples. :)
I can go more expensive than that. My "other" was a tiny line consisting of one 24-foot Pacific Seacraft cruising sailboat named Saturday Clothes. Besides the payments, insurance and maintenance, it cost over $200 a month just for the hole in the water to put it in. Had lots of fine cruising experiences, including dog going overboard, propeller fouled by kelp, waking up to an inch of ice on the deck, boarding by the Coast Guard, and being broadsided by a canoe full of Boy Scouts. My last cruise featured torrential rain while going through the Crittenden Locks in Seattle on the first of August. The line is no longer in operation. The boat was sold to a nice couple in Japan who had it shipped home on a freighter.

[twinds]

Cunard (Countess)
RCCL (Song of Norway, Song of America (2), Majesty (2), Rhapsody)
NCL (Skyward, Seaward, Norwegian Crown)
Royal Cruise Lines (Crown Odyssey - see Norwegian Crown)
HAL (Ryndam, Veendam, Zaandam, Maasdam, Zuiderdam - in 3 days!)

[john2003]

HAL, Orient Lines, Windstar and coming up is NCL.

[sueclark]

Add Cunard and Epirotiki - I didn't see it listed anywhere above. It is no longer in existance.... but the Triton is still sailing for Royal Olympic.

[ej_355]

Sailed on Dolphin, NCL and Royal Caribbean. Didn't care too much for Royal Caribbean but I think it was because I wasn't too impressed with Bermuda and we were both seasick most of the time. Cruised on the SS Norway (NCL). I broke down and cried when it was time to leave the ship (best vacation of my life). Since I couldn't find a Caribbean cruise on NCL, my TA recommended HAL. She said with my tastes I would probably prefer HAL over NCL. I have 8 long months to daydream about it (which is half the fun).

[Stevedan]

We've cruised Princess, HAL, Carnival, Cunard, Celebrity, RCL but our all time favorite, by a big margin is. . . . . . . . . . . .



HOME LINES.


Nothing compares to that warm, elegant, family atmosphere. I guess HAL comes the closest, but it is a far second. Anyone else feel the same?

[Nliedel]

Carnival, RCCI and Princess... Cannot wait to try HAL and Celebrity.. Want desperatly to sail Seabourn.. Someday.. after the kids finish college, get rich and support me.. (OK I know, but let me dream... please let me dream :)

[cruzngal]

We've been on Chandris (renamed as "Celebrity"), HAL and Windjammer Barefoot Cruises. The old Chandris boat was the Galileo which was the sister ship to the Achille Lauro. The Galileo was an old tub of a boat, but they had really nice service. Every morning there was a white tablecloth buffet out on the main deck, ice sculptures and all. No cafeteria lines on that ship.

The Windjammer Fantome was a great old sailing ship. Every time they raised the sails, they would play "Amazing Grace" and slip out of port. Accomodations were horrible, so we slept on deck under the stars. Fortunately, what they lacked in cabin amenities they made up for in rum drinks.

But funny thing, those cruises cost as much as a trip on HAL...

[DFD1]

I want everyone to know how much I have enjoyed reading the postings on this thread. Cruise memories are wonderful and so many of you have shared them quite eloquently.
Very nice....very nice indeed! Thanks.

PS: I wonder what the members would say is the most beautiful ship they have ever sailed....for me, the most beautiful contemporary ship I have ever seen is the SS Norway. At l,038 feet long with that sweeping hull design, she was a sight to behold.

[sopa]

The Dolphin, Premier's Majestic, Carnival's Mardi Gras, Crown Cruise Line's Crown Jewel and Crown Monarch, OdessaAmerica's Gruziya, Regency's Regent Rainbow, Carnival's Fantasy, Royal Caribbean's Nordic Empress, and the Zaandam (#two trip on her is booked).

How I have wished over the years that Crown Cruise Lines still existed (it ceased operating in the mid to late nineties). For me, the Jewel, Monarch and Dynasty were the most beautiful ships sailing. However, I'm happy again: now I have HAL!

[Appgrad]

Only RCCL, but planning HAL for April 2005

[Charliesmom]

Norwegian, Radisson, Princess, Carnival, Celebrity and America West SteamshipLine. We are newbies to HAL.

Roberta

[venicecruiser]

Radisson, Regency, Commodore, MSC would be the "others" for me....

[RaffinOrganGrinders]

Premier Line back in the early 80s, had forgotten the name of the line, but the ship "Majestic" was the revived 'Love Boat' of TV fame. We had quite an enjoyable cruise and a good laugh at the Love Boat theme.

[Sharonlee]

Other ships we have taken are:
Yorktown Clipper-Alaska
Nantucket Clipper-New England
The Mississippi Queen
Celebrity-Eastern Caribbean
Hal-Western Caribbean
But Hal is our favorite and will be going on the Rotterdam on 1-25-05.
I am a first timer and enjoy reading all great information you all share. Thanks so much.

[dakrewser]

I am a first timer and enjoy reading all great information you all share. Thanks so much.

[jemingway]

My others are Dolphin, Costa and Majesty. I will be adding HAL in February.

[cruznon]

We've cruised Carnival, RCCL and plan another carnival cruise next month and THEN our FIRST Holland America!! We're excited!
Really looking forward to HAL service I've read so much about on these boards!! :)

[johnlcruise]

Just Got back from a 10 day cruise on Princess Dawn.(Oct.14th)
Got a great deal on the price.
First time with Princess, 7 with HAL, 4 with RCCL, 3 with Carvinal, 5 with Windjammer, and a few other lines.
I really enjoyed the Princess Dawn. Very nice ship and the service was super.
BUT. I think I will stay with HAL.
I missed the little things HAL has that Princess did not have.
Like free popcorn at the movies.
Appitiers before dinner in the bars.
Better selection of food in the buffet.
Fresh flowers everywhere.
Bigger state rooms on HAL.
Dont get me wrong If I can find another super deal with Princess like this past cruise I will jump at it.
A cruise is what YOU make it to be.(I always have fun)
But there is something to be said about HAL that will keep me coming back.
John

[Celestia]

Holland America, Statendam, last week! Wonderful overall, one or two things could have been better but there was a definite language barrier with our room steward.

Princess, Pacific Princess, 1997.....NEVER again on Princess. Too many problems to list and they flat out TOLD us to our faces, WE DO NOT CARE.

Queen Odyssey, dear departed Royal Cruise Lines...perfection on the seas.

Next time....I think HAL again. It fits what I'm looking for in a cruise line at an affordable price point. I don't go for Freestyle, Partayboat, or Family-friendly cruising at all.

FW&FS,

C

[BARBARA J.W.]

Hello

[Trijntje]

The others are: the ship Brittanis (Chandris) and the Olympia Voyager (Royal Olympic Cruises) and we did a cruise on a wooden sail boat (with diesel engine) along the Turkish a Greek Mediterian. That cruise was wonderfull, but the boat was terrible.
We had to sleep on deck, because the "cabins"were to small and there was a terrible diesel smell.
So everone took a sunbading matras and sheet and slept on deck.
We also took a (sald water) shower on deck, because it was to small in the "bathroom. To only thing we tried to do, was going to your own "toilet".
The cruise was realy wonderfull but again the ship was awfull and unsave.
Trijntje :cool: The Netherlands

[seagoingJLW]

This is a difficult poll to post because there are more than 10 cruise lines that one might have cruised on. So, I chose 9 of the more popular ones and then added an "other."

If you've answered "other," please list it below. :) Among those "others" might be Crystal, Radisson, Seabourn, or Silversea ... just to name a few of the more expensive examples. :)

Pearl Cruise Lines
Ocean Cruise Line
Royal Cruise Line
Bermuda Star Line (back in the 50's)
American President Line (back in the 50's)
Canadian Pacific Cruises (back in the 50's)
Matson Lines (back in the 50's)

[Chris-n-Cheryl]

This is probably dating myself (and my pocket-book), but oh well.... here goes......

Regency (4)
Commodore (1)
Dolphin (2)
NCL (4)
Carnival (1)
Celebrity (1)

Planning first trip on HAL Zuiderdam for Easter of 2005.

I hope I'm not a jinx...... 50% of the lines I've traveled on have gone bankrupt! ;)

Cheryl :)

[W8tn2sail]

First the bankrupts: 7 days each aboard Regent Sun,and Dolphin's Oceanbreeze, 14 on Premier's Rembrandt.
76 days with Holland America
49 days on Princess
14 days on Royal Caribbean
7 days with Celebrity
Next cruise: 11 days on MSC's Opera.
We've never been on a cruise we did not thoroughly enjoy, however we prefer the newer mid-size ships.

[Pilot70D]

Princess for us recently but way back before now Norwegian Amwerican Line.

MS Sagafjord '81 & '82
MS Vistafjord '81 & '82
Grand Princess '01
Golden Princess '02
Golden Princess '03

Coming up the Volendam 12/6.

[usha]

So far...
7 days on Holland America:)
7 days on Princess:rolleyes:
124 days on Celebrity, with another 14 days on Celebrity next February:D

[~Nereus~]

Georgic: White Star Line 1951
Started in 1989 with Rotterdam, since then:
HAL 150 days (trying them again after 3 years)
Celebrity 153 days (can't get enough)
Princess 109 days (20 days I would rather have spent elsewhere)
RCCL 24 ok but no reason to go back yet
NCL 12 (more than enough but the Eastern Med was was worth it)

Coming up: Celebrity 15 day to Hawaii (Dec), Veendam 14 day Tampa (Jan), Zenith 14 day JAX (Feb), Galaxy 25 days (May), Constellation, 15 days (Sept)...
I guess I'm addicted.... Frequency and choice indicates what we believe to be the best cruise line but have not tried Carnival (rumours) and $$$$$ lines.

[1cruiselvr]

OTHER:

Admiral - Stardancer in the late 80s
Renaissance - R4 2000
Radisson - can't remember the ship's name; was only a short 3-day teaser
The Stardancer was my first cruise and I was hooked. There should be a buyer's beware statement about your first cruise leading to a serious addiction. :D :D :D

[catique]

In addition to all but a few that we checked, the "others" are Regency and Admiral. We have 39-cruises behind us and are now booked on the Westerdam's Mediterranean Cruise for May 22, 2005. Come on May!

Catique

[Cauvet]

My "others" are the SS France (1972) (fabulous!) and Sitmar's Fairwind (1980).

And the changes are not necessarily for the better. What happened to those wonderful days when we could sit out on a padded deck chair as the steward wrapped us up in a cosy blanket and served us delicious hot bouillon?

What happened to the wonderful afternoon teas when the tuxedoes and white gloved stewards served us delicious scones and clotted cream along with other goodies?

What happened to the entertaining pre dinner concerts, the string quartets, the instrumental soloists and the trained operatic singers?

Oh, for the good old days.

I checked the other box because I was a passenger on a cruise ship called the S.S. Lurline. I think it belonged to the Matson Line.
Joan,
I wonder if we cruised at the same time. I cruised in October 1962 from Hawaii to California.

I sailed on the Lurline from San Francisco to Honolulu in July of 1953. The return trip on the Lurline was to Los Angeles in August of 1953.

Does anyone remember the Prudential Grace Line ? My first cruise was a 15 day out of NYC in Jan. 1969. I believe the ship was the Santa Rosa. It was the last American flagged passenger to sail on the East coast and that trip was the last one she sailed. I was hooked totally. Next was the Rotterdam in 1973 and some 50 cruises since. 16 on NCL until our last one in May 1998. So bad, we never went back. Cruise mostly on HAL and Cunard. I 'm going on the Seven Seas Mariner in Feb. as my Navigator cruise was cancelled this week due to a fire on board. Can't wait !!!!!!!
