Your first cruise... year and ship...

My first cruise was on the Carnival Fantasy in 1991... it was a four day to the Bahamas. I remember wondering if I would be too seasick or if I would be able to handle being at sea for such a long time... it was exciting.. yet scarey before I boarded. She was a beautiful ship. And is still a very nice ship. I loved the back area where you could go outside with your breakfast and sit and enjoy the ocean. I liked it better then when the slides actually went into the pool... instead of the way they do now. One thing I really liked better about this ship back then was... it actually had 3 pools. The Lido deck pool, the Kiddie pool, and then on the aft , where they now have waterworks, was a nice area with a pool and hot tub. I understand how families love the waterworks... but for me personally, I really liked having that extra pool on that class of ship... Yep, this is the ship that got me addicted to cruising:D

Liberty, 2010, I was soooooo excited!!! Still feeling the same every cruise!! :)

1987, The Big Red Boat (Premier Cruise Lines). Four day cruise stopping at Nassau and Salt Cay, Premier's private island. Premier was the official cruise line of Walt Disney World back then, so Disney characters were on board, and our vacation package included three days at Disney World.

Ours was in 1987 on the Festival, not sure where we went other then the Caribbean.

Every cruise feels like my first though. :)

First time on a ship - 1957

Saxonia

7 days Montreal Canada to La Havre, France

First time on a Cruise Ship - 1974

Sun Princess (the Original Love Boat)

7 Days in Caribbean

When I say the Original Love Boat I mean that it was the ship featured in the Love Boat Movie that came before the Love Boat TV Series which featured the Pacific Princess.

Our first cruise was February of this year and we were on the Disney Dream.

January 2012 Carnival Pride :)

2008 Carnival Spirit to the Mexican Rivera

Fell in love with cruising on that ship.

Nothing like that first step into that first cruise ship.

Constantine as our room steward, and Christopher as our head waiter...

somethings you never forget :)

2008 enchantment of the seas

Carnival Victory 2004, 5-day cruise to Canada. The cruise we took to do something different for a vacation. "Different" has become the norm since then.:D

Queen Elizabeth 1964

It was 2002 on the Carnival Paradise, 7 days out of Miami, it was smoke free. Our ports of call were Nassau, San Juan and St. Thomas. It got us hooked.:D

1985 0n the Dolphin out of Miami, loved those small ships.

2009 Carnival Liberty

Cozumel Mexico, Grand Cayman and Ocho rios jamaica...

I have since returned to Cozumel every cruise and love every minute of it..

2000 - Premier Sea Breeze (originally Dolphin Sea Breeze)

It was an 800+ passenger ship built in 1958. Old & small but we didn't know any better, and we loved it.

..... it was smoke free .....

Jan, 2003 - Jubilee. I was a little apprehensive, but (thankfully) it WASN'T smoke free, and i was able to get through it (and LOVED IT!!!). Fast forward to the cruising addiction current day... no longer apprehensive, more like anxious as HE!! if I don't have more than one booked at a time!

Hopefully 2013 will be kinder to us than 2012 was, and we'll see y'all on a ship near you, sometime soon!!!!!!! :o

2011 Norwegian Sun. I was a late bloomer;) Loved it and the rest is history.

1992 NCL Westward to Bermuda - Honeymoon!

Our first cruise was on the Holiday in 1995 for our 25th anniversary. We met on a ski lift, first kiss was on a bus, proposal was on a plane...we had to do something on a ship. We went to Catalina and Ensanada. I was so excited, and we got upgraded too. I still get excited, my first Princess cruise is next month with a Triumph cruise 2 days later. Whoo hoo!

2011 - Carnival Paradise.

1998 - Carnival Ecstacy

We went to Key West and Cozumel...4 nights.

About a week after the cruise, we were home and I was cooking dinner and DH was in the living room watching the news.

All the sudden, I hear him holler "Ecstasy, Ecstasy!!"

Of course, I had to see what was going on. Turns out, Ecstasy was on fire. From what I recall, there was no major damage...the fire was in the laundry area.

2010, Dream Eastern route. We are doing the Dream again in February, Western route. Had an inside cabin and this time will have a cove. I'm ready, ready, ready!!!

1986 on the Carnival Tropicale for our honeymoon. Mexican Riviera stops were Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo (Cabo was the only stop we liked).
