[sail7seas]

Itinerary that you have already cruised on?

What is one you dream of doing?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Favorite itinerary - 12 day Alaskan cruise round trip out of San Francisco - years ago - only Crystal has one similar to it now.

Would love to go to Australia and New Zealand.

[Esme]

Hawaii - 19 days, LA to Hawaii to LA to Vancouver. Have done it twice and loved it.
Also trip from FLL to Tilbury, England when we took the old Westerdam back to Germany for stretch.

Future - Australia, New Zealand where my best friend lives, having moved there from Hawaii.

[Lisa63]

Favorite itinerary, if we can call it that in this case, was a non-stop transatlantic crossing. Six nights of pure bliss.

Favorite itinerary involving ports is Canada/New England. I prefer the routes that go into Quebec.

One I dream of doing -- Norwegian Fjords.

[jstducky]

favorite itinerary: both my Alaskan cruises

one I dream of: scandinavia or the mediterranean (ok, so that was 2!)

[dakrewser]

Alaska, especially the 10-day cruise tour (http://vquill.com/gallery/Diary.html) we did in 2000. Vancouver to Seward then 3 day drive to Denali and back to Anchorage. I love the Pacific Coast Highway (California highway 1), but the drive from Seward to Anchorage truly is the most beautiful drive in the world.

I'll turn it around...... whats yours Sail7??????

[jhannah]

Wow! This is hard! I'd say it's a toss-up between Alaska and Canada/New England. Both were simply georgous and highly enjoyable. Scandinavia/Baltic would not be far behind.

[tomc]

Fave: 12-day NE/C.
Dream: Antarctica.

[dst]

Fav would be anywhere in the Caribbean. One that I wish to do...Tahiti!

[LizB1]

I guess my favorites have been:

1) Scandinavia/Russia and the Baltic (sailing Transatlantic)
2) New Zealand, Australia and the Far East on the WC
3) Israel, Egypt and Greece (including the Greek Islands)

My wish, and hope, is that I live long enough to keep cruising anywhere that I am lucky enough to sail to.

[habenicd]

Cruise that we've been on.... 10 day Canada/New England

Cruise to do... we are looking at the Greek Islands next summer.

[MISSYLOU]

Cruise we have been on: Hawaii 21 day back to back Ensenada Honolulu Ensenada

Dream cruise would be: San Diego to Hawaii and on to Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia and back to San Diego.

Also very much want to do the Baltics. So many cruises we still want to do.

Sail thanks for coming up with some new topics.

[Southbound]

Favorite that we've done -- 7-day visiting Cannes/Monaco, Portofino, Majorca, Madrid +another 7 days on land in Majorca (beautiful island, wonderful people)

Dream cruise -- South Pacific

[lipoppop]

Norwegian fjords on the Westerdam followed by South America on the Amsterdam.

[Druke I]

Sep 00, on the last voyage of Sky Princess as a Princess ship, 27 nights San Francisco to Sydney, going to many of the World War II Battle Sites. Truly a grand cruise.

My second choice would be the Panama Canal.

[rkacruiser]

Favorite itinerary: the 2002 Asia Pacific Cruise on the Volendam

Dream itinerary: a World Cruise

[saltydog28]

I haven't found a favorite yet. I guess I'll have to keep cruising until I do.

[FlorenceItaly]

So far my favorites are Alaska, and NE/Canada. If I HAVE to pick my favorite between the two, it would be ALASKA.
I would love to do the Med. or Australia/New Zealand.

[weluvcruisin']

Favourite...Sydney to Singapore...Southern Caribeean...want to sail the Greek Islands..

[ryansmemom]

My favorite has been the Southern Caribbean, including a partial transit of the Panama Canal.

My dream cruise is the one I have coming up in December. It's a circle Hawaii cruise.

Linda :D

[ejbmorr]

My favorite, by far, was the Baltic cruise.
My dream cruise is the one to the Norwegian Fjords,God willing, next June.

[ger_77]

Favorite: Black Sea & Beyond: Black Sea and Mediterranean cruise - at the end of the two weeks both my husband and I wanted to go home, mow the lawn(simply to restore normalcy to our lives), take out half our clothes from the suitcases and go back again. If we could do it all over again, we'd do it in a heartbeat!

Dream Cruise: Round The World Cruise ... I don't care how long it takes!

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[sail7seas]

We loved sailing out of Piraeus, Greece to Israel, Greek Islands, Venice and ending up in Rome.

DH and I were so very amazed at how much we enjoyed the Canada/New England itinerary. Considering that during that cruise, we were always within easy reach of our home, we never thought we would have such a good time on that itinerary.

We adore hot, humid weather, sun and fun in the Caribbean and can never get enough of ten plus days meandering around particularly Southern Caribbean.

Many, many times we are aboard a ship and have little interest where it is going. If the sun is shining, the food is good, the crew is friendly, the service is good........we don't much care where the ship stops. If we like whatever port, we get off the ship. If not we just stay aboard. Unless it is someplace very special, very wonderful, we cruise for the ship.

[elmorejj]

I also love the hot, steamy weather in the carib. and will willingly cruise anywhere any time there. But, I think its a toss up as to favorites between the 21 day repo we did this year visiting 9 different countries, mostly Hispanic countries, and a Greek Island cruise we did a few years ago, I loved that especially Kithera, and the small Italian Islands that we stopped at.....jean :cool:

[Aussie Gal]

My favourite cruise so far has been around the Tahitian Islands, absolutely beautiful and a perfect 40th anniversary celebration.

My dream cruise is coming true in January, 2006 and that is South America, from Rio via Antartica to Valpariso, something we have always wanted to do, plus an extra cruise around the Galapagos Islands and a visit to Machu Picchu and the Iguazu Falls, an absolutely fantastic trip.

[Cerinda]

Favorite: French Polynesia, no doubt

Fantasy: really port intensive, three+ week Citttavechia - Athens - Istanbul

[Vicar]

I have pretty much enjoyed every port I have been too
Some more than others of course. I would love to return to Gand Cayman, because last time we were there the only parts of the Island we got to see were from where we got off the tender to where we picked up the Sting ray tour boat. But it looked beautiful and would love to go explore it.


i would love to do an Alaska cruise. GF is not crazy about that one. We are both fun in the sun types too, and figure we will do all those types of cruises before we hit Alaska

[Slinkiecat]

I loved the Mediterranean - Perfect weather, perfectly gorgeous cathedrals and cities. It was just wonderful all over, and I said when we left there, that I wanted my next home to have palm trees in the yard. A year later we checked out Naples, Florida, and bought a condo with palm trees in the yard. I absolutely love it there!!!

As to the future, well, we have the dream cruise of a lifetime already booked, the world cruise on the Prinsendam in January 2005, with 43 or so ports of call including Australia, NZ, India, China, Thailand, so many places I have only dreamed about, and in a few months we will be on our way. Unbelievable!!

[RevNeal]

A hard one, on both counts.

I suppose my favorite itinerary from my past HAL cruises would have to be my Northern crossing from Europe aboard the Maasdam in 2000. A very close second would have to be my Hawaii cruise on the Statendam in 2002, which is my all-around favorite HAL cruise (thus far).

As for future itineraries ... gosh, I don't know. This Panama Canal cruise is among my "dream" cruises. I suppose a cruise in the Asian theatre or in the South Pacific would have to be among those I dream the most about these days. Timing and price are the only things that keep me from actally taking one of them right now. In a few years, maybe I'll be able to book one of them.

[grannynurse]

are transatlantic crossings. This year's was great, round trip Ny to NY, including Norway and the fjords, but last year's through Prince Christian sound in Greenland, was spectacular.

Our current dream is the 62 day Pacific Rim on the Amsterdam, but as it is just about sold out, and our plans are indefinite, we are looking at the Repos from Europe in fall 2005, combined with one of the 10 day med cruises.
Here's hoping.....

[RuthC]

Favorite? That would have to be any itinerary that included Antarctica as a port of call (in a manner of speaking). It's a long, hard trip getting there, though.

Realistically, my favorite must be trans-Atlantics as I've done one one-way and two round trips in the last four years. And another round-trip is booked for next year!

Both favorites seem to have icebergs and cold weather in common.

Now this itinerary does sound like bliss!!!!
