Rare patrice1 Posted August 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2019 LONG time CCL cruiser here and have no idea what a Journey cruise is. First I thought it was the band, but now I don't think so. So what is it? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted August 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It is a cruise with extra activity they do not do on normal cruises. Here is list of things they do that is unique to journey cruises: https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3936/related/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckersMidwest Posted August 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Also typically much longer - like 15 days. Lots of throw back activities too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runnersuzy Posted August 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Cruise is longer and has some different itineraries and usually different activities. Did a 12 day cruise on the dream and booked on a 14 day journey cruise on the pride in November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kehote Posted August 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It's a dream for me - I'd LOVE a long relaxing cruise like that. One day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxer Posted August 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Like the others have said, it's a longer cruise with some different activities, some of which, for example a midnight buffet, aren't done regularly anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys2Heaven Posted August 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Journey's are select cruises 9 days or more. As pointed out, different activities, throwback events, etc. We just did one when we sailed to Hawaii this past April. It was AWESOME! If you get a chance to go on one....GO!

grooks Posted August 19, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 19, 2019 In many cases a journey's cruise will be a re-positioning of the ship from one port to another. I've done 2 of these cruises. One was on the Pride which was a 14 day to move the ship from Tampa to Baltimore. This cruise included a partial transit through the Panama Canal. The second cruise was the Legend for 11 days to move the ship from Vancouver to Sydney via Hawaii. I did the Vancouver to Hawaii portion but not the Hawaii to Sydney portion. As mentioned by others above, Carnival will also do a few extra things during journey cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSpo Posted August 19, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) I am booked on a 9 day Journey cruise out of New York City next May 2020. If you can't cruise on one of the longer Journey cruises, then check out the schedule for the 9 day Journey cruises out of NYC next May. There are Bermuda and Eastern Caribbean itineraries to choose from.😎 Edited August 19, 2019 by JohnSpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're booked on a Journey cruise to Panama on the Glory in February and I wasn't aware of all the unique things we'll be doing...... now I'm even more excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth2 Posted August 19, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 19, 2019 They are officially called "Journeys" cruises as in plural, not singular or possessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted August 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I've done several Journeys cruises, my fav was a 10 day from MIA to SJU along eastern ports, and followed by an 11 day SJU to MIA southern itinerary. Essentially a 21 day B2B RT MIA. So I loved the extended time spent at sea, and have tried to book cruises longer than a week as a result. As far as the throwback or special Journeys activities on board, I hardly noticed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrthatsme Posted August 20, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We are going in January on a 14 day Journey. When do we find out what special events are planned? And do we have 4 elegant nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJamba Posted August 20, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) The Carnival website is kinda thin on the details of what Journeys cruise includes. It would be great to see a trip report or even copies of Fun Times. Anyone have one they can scan and upload? Edit to Add: Just saw shof515's link to the Journeys page, so I guess I'm good. But a Fun Times might be something to look at anyway. Edited August 20, 2019 by DrJamba Didn't see a link answering my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MzOhioLady Posted August 20, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am SO Glad Someone asked this question about Journey Cruises. Thanks to all for your reply's. Now I want to do this type of cruise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted August 20, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 20, 2019 While I like the extended cruise time of a Journeys cruise, whenever I look to book one, I only seem to find it offered on Carnival's oldest and most out of date ships. Since I said I hardly noticed any special Journeys activities on board, the main appeal to me is the longer sail time, which I can find on other cruise lines on better ships than the Carnival Journeys offerings.

As for the dates you listed, I already have stuff booked then - November is a 2 week Punta Cana land vacay and January we're on the Symphony of the Seas for our first Royal cruise in 15 years or so. Appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRocks Posted August 20, 2019 #20 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We've done several Journey cruises + love them! In fact, we just booked another for Jan 2021 on Pride. They definitely attract an older crowd. If you don't have at least 100 sea days, you're a rookie on these cruises. One guy had 1500 plus sea days on our last Journey cruise. So if you're platinum........no big deal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare patrice1 Posted August 20, 2019 Author #21 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks all! Good to know. We're limited now to European cruises, but will definitely consider in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Evandbob ☺️ My wife & I feel the same way in regards to longer sail time & various ships/cruise lines. I realize you stated that you enjoy Dream class concerning Carnival, however, have you considered the Journeys sailing onboard Carnival's new XL-class ship Mardi Gras? We're sailing on the 15-night Mardi Gras repositioning Journeys voyage September 30th to October 15th, 2020. I see you're in Florida. The Mardi Gras repositioning sailing is New York to Florida. A very nice itenerary as well. Also, Journeys sailings (schedules) can be located @: https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3939/~/journeys-sailings And here too: https://www.carnival.com/cruise-search/#?layout=grid&numAdults=2&pageNumber=2&pageSize=8&showBest=true&sort=fromprice&specials=j&useSuggestions=true 🌴 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
