Wardogcoach Posted February 22, 2017 #77 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Our first was the Carnival Holiday. We have been on 6 total cruises and have our 7th booked July 2018. I'm a high school teacher and have photos off all our ships we have sailed on in my class. I tell my students how great cruising is.

muggo11 Posted February 22, 2017 #78 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Big Red Boat, 1995 "set the hook" for me! Same and same year. And I was hooked too! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennythenose Posted February 23, 2017 #79 Share Posted February 23, 2017 NCL Norway 1997 Both of my sisters were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversaries so we had a large group. Had a vow renewal ceremony and reception for them. Very special time. And we've all been on multiple cruises since then...just not at the same time!

sailingsusie Posted February 23, 2017 #80 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Elation out of Long Beach, down to Mexico. Loved the cruise and have been on many since, the sad part was that the 3rd day was Sept 11 2001, they held a service in the theater. No entertainment could join the ship in port ( no flights) but the cruise director did a great job over the next few days. We were one of the first ships back in LA, so every single person including all crew had to go thru customs, no one could get off until this was completed. They brought all the officers on board to the theater, none US citizens went thru first, ( we are Canadian) we had to sit around for hours. We got off around 1-2 pm. We had a hotel booked already for a few nights at Disneyland, which was good cos still no flights were flying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjn911 Posted February 23, 2017 #84 Share Posted February 23, 2017 :) Loving the thread...was so much fun to see how styles come around, some of the seating chair styles in new Vista really matched some of the chairs on the old original 50's Irish Coast that came to be Epirotiki Appollon II in the 80's..Wow...wonder if they were just resurfaced in 80's...old becomes new..round and round....new twists on mid century mod...I HATED that word mid century in my early 40's LOL...accepting it at 57.

BalzacBill Posted February 23, 2017 #89 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Carnival Tropicale, sometime in the 1990's. Don't remember the year, but remember the cruise. The whole ship lost power for an hour or so one night, the boat was rocking and some passengers were nervous. Earlier the same night there was a small fire in the theater's control room, the show had to stop as they lost lighting and sound control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat2009 Posted February 25, 2017 #96 Share Posted February 25, 2017 My first was Fantasy in 2009 which sparked an addiction to cruising! I am scheduled to sail on her again in September - my 14th cruise with Carnival and only 8 days from Platinum. I love the small ships (as they are easy to get around) but will miss some of the amenities of the larger classes (Guy's Burgers!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
