How common is it to bump into the the same ship multiple times?

I have returned from a two week Caribbean cruise like no other before. At the first port a Princess ship was there about to leave the same time as us. Our two ships had a great experience shouting, singing, and it was one of those passenger build-ups where everyone joined in.

Over the next two weeks we bumped into the same ship with the same passengers (or I think they were the same as the passengers all joined in again) five times at different ports. We ended up making friends with people not on our ship, and it was sad to leave at the final port.

How common is this?

Very common. There are only so many places that the ships visit and schedules tend to overlap.

It depends on how much I've been drinking....;)

They clearly were on the same itinerary as your ship. Seems you both had lots of fun with each other. It's all good. !!! :)/B]

If it's a Caribbean cruise if it's leaving from the same port on the same day, frequently they end up in tandem.

Is Captain Francesco Schettino at the helm?

Did they ever recover all the bodies?

Princess wins those shout-outs. They have the Love Boat horn. Top that.

Yes, after the got it upright they went in and recovered the last of the victims bodies.

I had the same thought.

Why didn't one of them sink.

How common is this?

Sail smaller ships and you'll go to more ports that giant ships can't readily visit.

A collision at sea can ruin your whole day.
