B1G Posted September 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Only 14 for me, when I retired, would love to do more than 40 consecutive day at sea (will also have to use the gym this time) ;) What is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofingPrincess Posted September 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Do you mean length of cruise or true sea days, when no port call is made? Because I have never heard of a cruise where the number of consecutive sea days went into double digits, not even the world tours. The longest cruise I've taken is a 14-day transatlantic. It was a northern route that should have had no more than two consecutive sea days, but weather rerouted us and turned it I to four in a row with a missed port call.

Go-Bucks! Posted September 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've also never heard of 14 sea days in a row, let alone 40. I've had 4 in a row once and there are 5 in a row planned for my next cruise which is a transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaBag Posted September 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think the OP means the most consecutive days sailing (at sea). It is 39 for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldweathergirl Posted September 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Longest for us was this past spring on a B2B on the Millennium for 27 nights. I loved the time on board and hated to have to get off when we were done. Now a 7 night cruise feels much too short.

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app My husband calls a 7 night cruise a "pretend cruise" We are looking forward to our longest cruise next year on the Solstice from January 27 to March 22.

Rare Essiesmom Posted September 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 23, 2014 My longest is 32 days, San Diego to Rome. Second longest was 26 days, Star Princess Inaugural, Singapore to LA.

Lsimon Posted September 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) There is a frequent cruiser here on Cruise Critic who's Cruise Critic ID is ~Cruisenut~ who spends a good part of their fall and winter cruising each year. They posted a while back that they were heading out on a 58 night cruise this fall: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2105207 I don't know how long their typical stretches are but if they follow their usual pattern they'll be heading out on a second long stretch later in the winter as well. I think there are a couple of others who cruise like them here on Cruise Critic and we're only familiar with those who frequent Celebrity.

miched Posted September 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Look at the World Ship Condo, people buy condos on a cruise ship as their residence. You can also set up a yearly cabin on board Cunard. Look at any online cruise search and you will find many world cruises where people will sail 100 days or more. Any of those sites will give you an idea of how many consecutive days people are on a cruise. Happy cruisng 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travlr21 Posted September 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 23, 2014 In a few weeks we will be spending 38 nights on the Constellation on a B2B2B. It will be our longest 'cruise', breaking our current record of 27 nights on a B2B. In terms of sea days, we did a fall TA on the Wind Surf, from Lisbon to Barbados. It was 14 nights, no ports. We loved it, seas were incredibly calm. Now Wind Star offers 22 nights, Tahiti to Costa Rica, again with no ports. We may get to that one eventually. With no cruise director, no nightly shows, you need to be able to entertain yourself. But, with the smaller sized ship, you do get to meet most other passengers.

Grayce Posted September 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 23, 2014 We did a 15 day transatlantic this year. I have a 16 day booked for next year. That's about the limit for the amount of time I can get off at once. I would like to do longer vacations when I retire, but that's a long way away.

ellbelle Posted September 24, 2014 #25 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Check out the HAL line threads. Many of those folks have 100+ days at a crack. Another HAL cruiser boarded the Amsterdam on Sunday for a 7 month voyage. He posts more pictures than words on his blog but very enjoyable to go along for the ride! I have trouble with links but if you're interested you can search for Jeff Farschman blog and it will come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
