What age were you when you started cruising?

[Lady_Jag]

My hubby and I took our first cruise on our honeymoon. I was 22.

 

Our daughter started cruising when she was 3, the lucky duck. She's now 6 and going on her 6th cruise in June. :rolleyes:

My 1st cruise was at 27. My 7th & 8th cruises will be at 32. Think I'm a littke hooked? :cool:

I started cruising the week after my 21st birthday--that was five years ago!

I started cruising in 1999 at age 39 and wish I had started a lot sooner too. I have introduced many of my family and coworkers to cruising, going on another in about 15 days then Alaska again, my favorite.

I was 26 (almost 27) when I was on my first cruise in 2006.

I started cruising when I was around 3? My husbands first was when he was 22 maybe...I'm now 30 and he is 37 our son who is 9 has been on 8 cruises so far:)

My first was at 19, didn't get my second until about 9 years later at the age of 28. Now at 43 I have #19, 20 & 21 coming up!!

I started when I was about 9. I was born in 1995 and my first cruise was on NCL in 2004-not sure about that though. I've been hooked ever since!

My first cruise was April 2008 and I was 38. Took 20 years to get me on a ship. I was petrified and now I am addicted! :D

I made my first cruise with my parents when I was 17. 5 Years later, at the age of 22, I booked my own cruise.

Hi! I noticed CC members who have a lot of cruises posted on there profile. I was just curious to see what age range people were when they started cruising? How many years have you been cruising? :)

 

 

I went on my first cruise at 45 and only wish I hadn't waited so long! So it's been only twice I've cruised. On the flip side I feel fortunate to have had the chance to go on two cruises and planning to go again soon.... there are many that will never get the opportunity!!

I was 45 if you count a Windjammer Barefoot Cruise as a real cruise. If you mean a cruise on one of those really big diesel-powered ships, I was 63.

 

Even if you don't count it, the Windjammer Fantome was a great way to start exploring the Southern Caribbean islands.

Amen...have not been able to travel as much as I thought I would after travels of a lifetime after studying abroad..I treasure every time as well as any concert or any daytrip...and being stuck in deep winter and not the type to love it..makes any place warmer off season and cooler for some but warm to me like out of Long Beach now...a thrill too..we really have to be grateful..then all the feelings about snags change..we are soo lucky to love the Well Priced midstream Lines and Carnival..wes many would love to afford more..but this is very good..we are so lucky..to be able to acheive..and do these things...Sarah

2007 was my first cruise (and to think I almost went to Disney world) I was 27 now it's been 5 years and I've only been on 4 with number 5 booked :( I'm with everyone else on wishing I would have started earlier.

I was 6 months old, in the days when cruising simply meant a long sea voyage. That trip may well be why 48 years later I fell in love with holiday cruising.

24 for honeymoon, 25 for baby moon, 28 for baby moon2, took a break and introduced our kids to cruising at ages 9 and 7 for a family Xmas gift a few years ago. They are totally hooked.
