How many cruises do you have booked?


Recommended Posts

The last few years, I've only booked free or greatly reduced casino offers with casino cash. Carnival usually only offers those on ships that need to be filled. So I only book one Carnival cruise at a time fairly close in based on the offer/availability. I currently have 2 cruises booked close-in on 2 cruise lines based on my recent best offers. My next free Carnival cruise is in about 7 weeks. That will give me 179 cruise days on Carnival which inches me closer to Diamond. Pretty happy about that.

Funny that this question came up today as I just booked my third cruise. Had not planned to but got a premier offer that includes almost enough casino cash to pay for a cove balcony. I now have a five day on the Valor with a one day layover in Galveston and then seven days on the Breeze, and finally seven days on the Vista in November. Hope the hurricanes stay away.

Just one pending for now. There are rumblings of us getting some extra vacation this year in lieu of (or in addition to a smaller) raise, so I might book another one if that ends up being true. Otherwise two a year is about my max with the vacation time we get allotted - I need other days off for the odd long weekend getaway or otherwise personal day.

I have 3 also. August on the breeze, October on the freedom and November on valor. I haven’t cruised since November 2017. I am hooked on travel. We did 2 cruises in 2017, Orlando in December. Started this year with spring break in Orlando in March, college tour in April in San Antonio, Baton Rouge in May, Vegas last weekend, Baton Rouge daughters wedding in July then my cruises. We are also trying to go back to Orlando at Christmas. I can only admit these things on travel sites because it’s not normal in any other circles.

I guess I can’t help myself because today I booked another cruise. I now have 3 to take over the next 11 months and I simply can’t wait. So, how many cruises does everybody have on tap?

I hear ya! I’m totally hooked on cruises. Problem now is ensuring there’s enough vacation time (to go) and money (to pay). May need a second job to supplement my cruise habit [emoji53]

Got the Conquest booked for 2019 and the Magic for 2020. That would put us at 23 Carnival cruises and I think you get a discount on your 25th Carnival cruise. Hey but whose counting? ......

....................... Carnival and myself!!!!!!!!

Vacation time for me is a challenge, I try to earn a lot of comp time for my other trips and use vacation time for cruising. I use the easy pay plan to automatically charge my payments so I don’t have to think about them and alternate driving 2 old cars with no car note. My cruise door banner says , “our other car is a cruise ship “ . I refuse to get a new car with a note because I only drive 10 miles to work so my old cars are fine and having that extra money allows us this luxury to be able to take the trips that we take. We have a third vehicle with a note but that is because my husband has to drive further to work.

One down and three booked out. November we are taking out daughter on the Elation for an eastern. March of 19 we are taking the Miracle on a Western. November '19 taking Elation on Eastern but a different set of ports we haven't seen. April '20 taking our daughter on a Western on the Paradise. I want to take the Breeze in the fall of 2020 to try a larger ship, just waiting on the itineraries to come out.

Quite a few I'd say (22). Can't wait because my next is a Norwegian and I haven't been on one in a couple of years. I'm pretty much married to Carnival, but I do like Norwegian just fine because I get a free steakhouse dinner every cruise. Their Moderno Steakhouse and LeBistro Steakhouse are absolutely wonderful.

Just one at the moment. Going to Cuba/Mexico in January on the carnival paradise!

I also have just one and it too is Cuba/Mexico on the Carnival Paradise - but in November 2019.

 

I like to book far out and pay monthly with gift cards. Always feels nice to get on board and have the trip paid for. And it gives me something to look forward to when I book so far out.

We have fourteen booked, but several are b2bs. The prices were quite good on most of them. Not so many attractive prices right now. Price drops are scarce, too. :(

 

Wow! Fellow Georgian here, I suppose it's probably too much to ask to stuff me into a large suitcase and take me with y'all on some of those cruises? :D

 

Just two cruises booked for me, but one is a 12 day Carnival Journeys and the other is a 10 day NCL.
