Cruisatary Posted March 30, 2011 #101 Share Posted March 30, 2011 My 26th cruise is coming up in August on the Oasis. Seven have been with Carnival, and the 19th one will be on the Oasis. I look forward to each cruise just as if it were the 1st. My son, his wife, and their son leave on Monday for Disney World for a 4-night stay. They've spent about $750 per person for this trip. They forgot to include the luggage transfer and meal package. When they add that, if they can, it will be much more. It would've been more cost effective to cruise. They feel the same now after looking back on it thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temple1 Posted March 31, 2011 #105 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Eight cruises so far; all on RCCL. I have two scheduled for this year and two future cruises I will definetly be taking. So far all 8 and the next 2 are on RCCL. One of the future cruises will probably be on Celebrity, unless RCCL relents and adds Panama back to its itenerary.

hazeleyez3 Posted March 31, 2011 #107 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I was just curious as I read some of your signature and am amazed that one person could have gone on so many cruises. I'll start off. I've been on 3 cruises! (lame, compared to some of you! :p) 14 plus another booked this year and looking at 1 for next year. By the time I was 16 I'd only been on one - just made up for it in the last 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Elite perks are great free laundry and cleaning mini bar setup and the OBC after 20 cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boingy300 Posted March 31, 2011 #112 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It would be interesting to compare how many people paid for their cruises vs. getting them for free (seminar or travel agent....or Bingo winner-wink). And how many have to fly to the port vs. live near the port. It would be an interesting diagram. I imagine it'd be hard to collect that type of data.

Out of the 14 cruises: 4 were family vacations, 2 of which we drove to (NYC and Baltimore). 1 was a present from my husband (flew to FL) All others I had to fly (FL, CA, HI, AK, ON, UK) and were out of my pocket.

If it was a gift from your husband, then didn't you technically pay for it as well? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted April 11, 2011 #120 Share Posted April 11, 2011 There was a couple on Explorer of the Seas last week that won the bottle of booze for the most cruises. I believe they had 200. :eek: and they were all Royal Caribbean cruises too. Asked Carlos in the Concierge Lounge only 30 Diamond Plus Members on Explorer of the Seas Cruise last week. So we are getting closer to that bottle of booze. Jimbo:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeyoregon Posted April 11, 2011 #125 Share Posted April 11, 2011 My first cruise was when I was 34 years old. I am now 40 and have been on 7 cruises. Wish it were more! Maybe when the nest is empty this single mama can afford more cruises :D. Number 8 is booked for May 2012 but I'm really hoping to sneak one in between now and then! I have taken my two sons on 4 of the 7. I also paid for and took my Dad, who was 80 at the time, on his first and only cruise...he passed away November 2009 and I am soooo grateful to have shared that experience with him and my sons. Priceless. And in response to some previous posts: I paid for all of them myself. I flew to 6 of the 7. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
