Cruising in 2016?

Hello all,

 

We had to cancel our Alaska cruise due to partners diagnosis of cancer. Chemo and radiation all done just as we hit our 25th anniversary. We're looking to splurge on one this coming year but haven't decided as to which line to take. We "love" Celebrity but do RCI a lot more due to affordability. Decisions decisions. It's only money though I guess..........

Anyone with any suggestions? Most likely, we'll do Aqua Class.

 

So very sorry to hear. We would vote for a celebration on Celebrity. I hope things go well.

Best wishes for a favorable outcome. Things are nice, but memories can be so much better. Hope you get back on the water and make some memorable moments to cherish. If I didn't go through separation anxiety with leaving the dog, I'd bee on a ship as often as possible.

Hope things get better and you can get on the water;)

My partner and I booked Adventure of the Seas February 6, 2016 out of San Juan. Sails to St. Thomas, St. Croix, Antigua, St. Lucia, Grenada. We've done five cruises on Atlantis, but this will be our first "straight" cruise. Going with a small group of friends. The price was amazingly low, so we just went for it.

Decided to put off my India tour for a year......and instead booked Koningsdam out of Amsterdam to Norway in August. May add a second HAL cruise in Dec 2016...out of Ft Lauderdale.

So that makes 4 cruises in 2016...2 on NCL and one or possibly two on HAL. Dog is not going to be happy.

Very excited about the Koningsdam!

Ciao

We are narrowing down some choices. We want to visit the Greek islands, especially Santorini, as that has been on our bucket list for a while. We've been to Istanbul before and loved it, but so far we are down to Celebrity out of Venice or Rome. The Venice one is with Pied Piper which gets excellent reviews as an organizer. The Rome one is not a gay or gay escorted cruise but has a stop in Sicily which also intrigues us. We are looking at late August or September 2016 so it's way to early to make a decision and we'll see if any specials come up over the next few months. We usually do 2 or 3 nights near port of departure/arrival before and after each cruise.

Yep...we'be booked our annual winter Caribbean cruise last month for Feb 2016. We also have a couple on the books prior to that. The G&L roll calls don't seem to get as much action as other roll calls so now I don't post there until a month/6 weeks prior to sailing. If I do post far in advance they seem to end up so many pages down, most folks don't search that far back, so like I said, now I will post much closer to the departure date. We're doing a cruise next month and I posted that several months ago. I think we're on page 6 or 7 now, and additional posts. Like I said, I don't think most folks will go back more then a page or two.

2016 will be a busy cruising year for me and my husband...

 

- 4-night Bahamian on the Disney Dream that leaves New Year's Eve

- 7-night Mediterranean on the Disney Magic out of Barcelona in August

- 7-night NYC to Bermuda on the Norwegian Breakaway for our 2nd wedding anniversary in October

 

So. Excited.

Haven't booked yet, but looking really hard at the Getaway in May 2016 with a quick 2 or 3 day trip down to Key West before the cruise.

Then in the fall of '16 we've been talking about a Mexico cruise out of San Diego (any suggestions on cruise line?).

We are going on NCL Epic this October (Halloween!) and are hoping they offer some exclusive deals on future cruises;)

In addition to our Celebrity Reflection Mediterranean cruise, we have just added another for 2016 on the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas (Bahamas) for Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving cruise is one we are putting together for our friends and families.

We will have a great cruise year. I had posted on this thread on the first page, but we have updated one of our trips.

 

We are doing a 10-day in June on Azamara Journey from Athens - Venice. Most of the ports we have been to, but we are really excited about returning to them - especially the overnight in Mykonos.

 

And then in December we are doing a 14-day roundtrip cruise from Abu Dhabi on Celebrity Constellation with ports in India and the ship docking for New Year's Eve in Dubai.

 

This will be a 40th birthday year for both us, so we are really excited to be celebrating by ship. Hope to see some of you all on board!
