We took our first cruise in 1998 on Carnival Paradise and it hooked us on cruising. We continued to cruise but not on Carnival. I have no idea why I waited 14 years to take our 2nd Carnival cruise on the Breeze. We have taken 31 cruises now and will be doing another Carnival cruise in September. I am really looking forward to it. Carnival Rocks!

tss Festivale- 7 night Eastern from Miami- October 4, 1980 Cabin U-1 (Tiny, Tiny Inside w/ 2 Lowers directly in the Bow of the ship-but we still loved it)

Rate p.p. including port charges: $976.00

 

 

I am very impressed you can remember how much the cruise cost way back when. It is amazing when you think that it was almost 35

years ago. The cruise rates really haven't gone up that much over the years and we are still getting a good bang for our buck on cruise vacations.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Our first cruise was on the pride in a inside cabin. Eastern Caribbean and we did not think about (HURRICANE'S). We had to deal with three in seven days. One named Igor was behind us all the way back to Baltimore. This was in September. But it did not scare us. We have been on two more since then and waiting to do the pride in September this year for our third time on the pride. I say if your on a cruise every day is a great day. Happysailing

My first Carnival ship was the Liberty in 2011. I was on 2 non-Carnival cruises before that (in 2006 and in 2007).

Carnival Imagination in 2012. Started a cruising addiction that never went away, despite the long hiatus I'm going through now.

. . .it up on my signature. The Sensation - 1996!

Carnival Glory - September 11, 2004!

 

We had a wonderful time even though our western itinerary was changed to an eastern because of all the hurricanes that year. Got to St. Marteen and Tropical Depression Jeanne (who later became a hurricane I believe) chased us out of St. Marteen and caused us to miss St. Thomas.

 

Took a 7 year hiatus (raising kids and life in general) but now are back to cruising and trying to do 1 a year or at least 1 every year and a half.

Holiday! We went on her twice before she was sold to Spain. We actually saw her when we were in Barcelona :)

Destiny, Feb 2000. Valentines Day cruise for our "family" honeymoon with the kiddies. Was also our kids first cruise. We broke down dead in the water en route to our first port, San Juan. Had to be towed back to Miami. Compensation was reimbursement for cruise & airfare, several open bars, free excursions in Miami and 50% off another cruise! We choose a GS on the Triumph.

Ecstasy! I loved her, even though she was a little tiny thing :p

[opie051699]

Destiny for our Honeymoon in May 1999 but we called her the Density. We kept quoting the Back to the Future line from Crispin Glover..."You are my Density"

[TXCajuns]

Celebration out of New Orleans in a March 1998 or 1999, can't remember which. We had a fantastic time!!

First Carnival cruise: Elation in 2003 to the Mexican riviera out of Long Beach, CA.

 

First cruise: USS Hoist 1978 thru 1980 to points unknown out of Norfolk, VA.

 

I liked the Elation better:eek:

[MrsMick1]

Ecstasy, 2013. We'd never cruised before so we figured we'd try out a short itinerary on a smaller ship to see if we liked it. Just booked our second cruise, on Glory, for next year!

First cruise: Carnival Inspiration 5-Day out of Tampa to Grand Cayman and Cozumel in November 2005. Big family (my in-laws) group cruise - we had about 6 cabins. Port stop of Cozumel was replaced with Costa Maya because Cozumel had been heavily damaged by a hurricane.

 

I was 20-some weeks pregnant so hot and achey all the time and couldn't imbibe or participate in the shore excursions the group had booked. But I still had a great time and got totally hooked on cruising from that first one.

Pride 2010! Fell in love with cruising and the Pride. Two more booked! :D
