Question for Long Time Cruisers

[Keel Haul]

The best island in the Caribbean has a Captain and balcony.

I don't cruise for the ports, they are secondary for me. In fact, I prefer more sea days. I cruise to get away, be disconnected for a while. I don't buy Internet while cruising either. I will say we found a wifi spot in Nassau on our last cruise so I could check email - and delete dome of the junk mail.

 

I say cruise to relax.

Hop on a plane to catch your next cruise in a different region of the world. The possibilities go well beyond Señor Frog's in Nassau! :)

Just because we've been there before doesn't mean we aren't looking forward to returning! :)

Personally, it takes me maybe 3 or 4 return visits to a port

before I start to get fed-up with it.

 

Having been there before means I pretty well know where/not to go

and what I'd like to do again.

I don't have a need for constant novelty.

You take a break. When you hear "Nassau" and you think of the worst part of the Straw Market, it's time to take a break. I love cruising. I have a job and kids but through a fortuitous chain of events I cruised four times to four destinations on four lines between 9/2011 and 7/2012. On the last trip I was just jaded, like "Hmm. I guess I'll have Caesar Salad. AGAIN.:rolleyes:" Scheduling things at work became insane and the "joy of cruising" became the same old, same old. I was like 007 moving through the ship- I could get from my cabin to a secluded aft lounger without noticing anything or making eye contact in about 30 seconds. That was not the definition of enjoyment.

 

So I had to go to Panama City to visit a relative and it was nice to take a land vacay, and since then I haven't traveled 30 miles from my house. This next cruise will seem like a huge deal :)- and if it doesn't, I'm taking a longer break.

We have taken multiple same itinerary cruises... and each cruise we do something different. That's what makes it so fun.

First priority is to get on the ship... the rest is fluff. :D

We have been too many ports more than once. It is nice to see different things each time. Sometimes do the something again because we liked it the first time. :)

We do like sea do days…:cool:
