first time NOT having a cruise booked this year :(

[Kel040]

2016 will be the first time I have had 2 cruises in the same calendar year !! :D

[A&Jfamily]

For me on my next cruise, the firsts will be

(1) driving to NYC and parking at the terminal;

(2) attempting to see the Intrepid before we board;

(3) going to Saint Andrew's with a rental car (for $25 - gotta love the current exchange rate!)

 

For my next "next" cruise, the first will be

(1) sailing the Magic

(2) eating dinner at Cucina

(3) porting in Amber Cove

(4) staying in a cove balcony.

 

That is one of the things that I enjoy about cruising. We always find a new ship, new ports, or at least new shore activities every time we sail. After this, I am considering the Fascination out of San Juan for an "inland hopper" which will bring new port of St. Kitts, St. Lucia and Barbados on in the alternative, a new ship, the Breeze. 11 prior cruises on Carnival and no two have been identical!

Although we've been on many cruises we have a few first.

First time on the Breeze

First time in a cove balcony, have heard great things about them

and we have been to each port already but looking forward to finding something new to experience in each.

We always try to get the "L" shaped balcony LOVE them!! this will be our 4th time in one. It always seems like there is so much more room in the cabin and well the balcony cant be beat!!!

[jennraycruise]

This is my first time in a balcony. Its my friend who is traveling with me first cruise. But I have only been on 6 previous cruises.

[tandemcruzr]

[cruiseonthebrain]

This will be my 21st Carnival cruise and my first suite!!

 

Uh oh- you may never be able to do without after this!

[cruiseonthebrain]

This is our first cruise when we will not be smuggling- booze, fans, power strips, pressure cookers, irons, dogs, goldfish, blow up pool, roller skates, handcuffs, fishing poles, go carts, or anything else on the bad list.

[Preacherman46]

Ok, first I have to say that I'm cheating but I couldn't resist telling our first coming up. To maybe be more legal I will say that we will be on Carnival Dream soon for the 2nd. time and looking forward to that.

 

Now for cheating - because it's not Carnival only because that wouldn't work for this "first time" Transatlantic! And it ends in Rome where we will spend 4 days!

I will remove this if asked since I know it doesn't really fit. But thanks for the chance to say it! :)

[reefgeek83]

We sail in 14 days, on our sixth carnival cruise and this will be the first time on the Valor, the first time for a suite and first time cruising with friends instead of family. Very excited!

First time cruising in a wheelchair. :(

 

This is rough- I am sorry. This will be my first cruise where I can't use the stairs and that I am worried about whether I can step over the tub into the shower since we won't have a walk in shower. I hope you enjoy your cruise and make beautiful memories regardless of how you do it!
