Longest gap between cruises?

[Z'Loth]

What has been the longest gap you had between cruises? For me...

 

For me, it was the departure from Carnival Spirit on January 12, 2005 until I boarded the Celebrity Infinity on August 27, 2017. That would make it ~4,610 days, or in more understandable terms, 12 years, 7 months, and ~15 days.

We went about 6 years between our first and second cruise. Our first was on the wrong cruise line for us. So we did not get hooked on cruising. Loved the second and keep coming back to it. We have a 48 day b2b2b starting this Thursday

Two and a half years.

My 1st cruise was in 1994 with my parents. My 2nd was in 2011 with my husband and 2 children.

17 years.

My first was Carnival Celebration in 94. I was hooked. My second was The Norway 96, my first solo cruise. Then i didn’t sail again until 2013 on The Grandeur 17 years later. Now I try to sail at least once a year.

Took our first cruise for our honeymoon 2001. Then took our next one for our "seven year itch" . Went down hill from there cruising 2 cruises a year for a while. Now just down to one. It's very addicting.

We had a gap of eight years between second and third cruise - and ended up with the same waiters as on the second cruise.

We took our first cruise on HomeLines October 1977. Our next cruise was June 2007. So, just about 40 years. Our next longest was now, April 2016 until December 2016. 2 years, 8 months. Way too long.

1973 our first cruise to 1994 our second cruise (21years)

My first cruise was in 2001, Celebrity TA. Second was in 2009, Carnival Fantasy. So 8 years there. My next cruise is Dec. of this year, 9 years now. And then the gap won’t be as far spread out. As I have another one in Feb of 2019, 2 months later. Yes I found 2 great cruises for a solo traveler WITH no supplement. Just a window view room though. I booked them both the same day.

We were due to go on b2b cruises on different ships, after a gap of a year. Unfortunately OH had an accident and was in plaster, so we had to cancel, and we waited another year. So, 2 years without.

Our longest time between mainstream cruises was about 4 years--between our third cruise and fourth, 1993-1997. We did have a schooner cruise off the coast of Maine in between in 1995. We've taken at least one each year since 1999. My goal is to sail around 30 days a year in retirement while we are able. We made it to 32 days in my first year. We sailed 7 so far this year and have a 15-day cruise booked for September.

First cruise Feb 2004

Second. December 2005

Third. August 2015

Fourth March 2017

Fifth March 2018

Currently have 7 booked from September 2018-June 2019 and DW is currently looking to squeeze in another in March. As an incentive to help her quit smoking in 2017 I pointed out the cost of cigarettes in terms of "cruise dollars" so I think she exchanged one addiction for another.

Hopefully the new addiction is healthier than the original :halo:

The longest gap for us was from our first cruise in 1987 'til 2000.

Physically yes

Financially not so much.

 

But I am happy with the physical health. I get find ways to get more money; don't know a way to more health. :)

Eight year gap between 1st and 2nd; two years between 2nd and 3rd; one year before 3rd and 4th. I'm liking the trend here... ;p
