wendychloecruiser Posted November 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Celebrity, Hawaii to Sydney. I also enjoyed a 14 day southern Caribbean, also on celebrity, despite having been to the Caribbean very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrock Posted November 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Alaska so beautiful and the whale watching excursion was the best. I will definitely be going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnamac123 Posted November 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Southern Caribbean on Princess. Cartagena is amazing, the trip thru the Atlantic locks of the Panama Canal was terrific. Loved the snorkeling in Aruba and Ocho Rios. Just a great mix of historic destinations and enjoyable ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted November 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Mariner, 2009, Port Canaveral to Los Angeles. 46 days with the most amazing ports! Caribbean, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, etc. 2nd favorite was Sydney to Hawaii to Vancouver last spring on Radiance. Bora Bora was paradise!

Hoopster95 Posted November 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 23, 2014 My most recentlyRome/Naples/Messina/Malta/Corfu/Kotor/Venice*2/Split/Dubrovnik... absolute bucket list #1 itinerary ever. Very close 2nd place Istanbul*2/Ephesus/Bodrum/Marmaris/Rhodes/Santorini/Mykonos/Athens/Crete. 3rd TA from San Juan PR/St Marten/Tenerife/Las Palmas/Lanzarote/Madeira/Malaga/Barcelona/Toulon/Livorno(Pisa)/Rome Europe is magical, port intensive itineraries, unbelievable once-in-a-lifetime site seeing and history. You can see a zillion things in one trip... wake up one morning staring at Santorini from front deck, enjoy ship nightlife (dinner/show/nightclub/etc), wake up next day staring at Mykonos windmills, same thing all over, next day wake up visiting Parthenon. You just can't beat those Europe itineraries imo. But it's a very busy vacation, totally different the the Caribbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHappyWanderers Posted November 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2014 In 2008, Radiance of the Seas. It was a round trip itinerary from San Diego, around the Hawaiian islands, and back. The southern California cruisers did not have to fly to our embarkation point and it had a great balance of port days and sea days. Many people I talk to wish Royal Caribbean would reinstate this itinetary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSong Posted November 23, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm also a big fan of lots of sea days. We did a TA from Barcelona in November 2013. Loved Barcelona and found the days of endless ocean spectacularly relaxing. Bonus: a westbound TA means that every couple of days the clocks move back an hour so there are several 25 hour days. I would think to be a big advantage over an eastbound TA from FL to Europe. We're trying to figure out where to cruise next, which was part of my motivation for starting this thread. Keep 'em coming!

Kartgv Posted November 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Radiance 2012 - circumnavigation of Australia plus New Zealand. Great balance of sea & port days, spectacular & varied scenery, friendly people. Aft corner cabin 1100, mesmerizing views of wake/sunrise/sunset/moonrise. Best ports (loved southern Australia ports of Adelaide, Esperance, Melbourne & Hobart plus the lovely city of Sydney with its spectacular sail-away), plus activities - Barrier Reef, kangaroos in the wild at Esperance National Park, great wine tasting in several ports, the breathtaking New Zealand fjords. A dream cruise itinerary that should be on every bucket list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookish Angel Posted November 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted November 23, 2014 A place to feel small by the bigness of nature. Absolutely nothing has topped it. No bands, no vendors, no fake experiences. Wildlife gets up close, the water is a spectacular blue and the Zodiac rides from ship to land are cold, drenching and thrilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chirpbird Posted November 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Southern Caribbean Re-po Cruise - San Juan to Bayonne, NJ. Highly recommend taking a cruise from a more southern embarkation port so you can see some other destinations. * San Juan - beautiful, relaxing embarkation city. Spent two days pre-cruise. * St Maarten - Maho beach with planes landing overhead. Relaxing and fun all in one. * Charlotte Amalie - helmet dive. Incredibly cool. * Tortola - My all time favorite port. Soggy Bottom bar on Jost van Dyke. * Bermuda - Incredibly peaceful, beautiful, safe.

Bookish Angel Posted November 24, 2014 #25 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ooooo! Antarctica does sound majestic. What cruise line took you there? It was a ship owned by NCL, if I remember correctly. I don't think it sails to Antarctica anymore. Majestic is a great word to describe the Antarctic continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
