How many cruises?

[fla gang]

How many cruises have you taken in one year? My max was 4.

[Jam0610]

Three. We try and book every 4 months. March, July, November.

Enchantment March 2020 (Wife's Birthday

Ovation July 2020 ( My Birthday)

Liberty November 2020 (Anniversary)

[Tree_skier]

I have three this year...

 

Radiance in May.

Star Princess in September

Allure in December.

 

I plan on doing a minimum of 2 a year and hoping to sneak a 3rd in when I can,.  Now if Royal actually puts Voyageur on the West coast doing  short cruises there's no telling how many I might be able to take 🙂

The most we’ve done in one year just happened to be last year, 2019. We did 5, including our first transatlantic and first back to back. Those 5 totaled 51 cruise days.

11 this year.  Quite a few B2B and 10 next year including B2B

[LuCruise]

3 last year

 

But that was not the norm. We try and book 2; one over March break and one end of summer.

2013 Eight and 2014 Eight Usually 4-6 always Halloween.

Three this year.  If Royal puts an Oasis class part time in Boston or a near full year Quantum class, I would sail 5 or 6 times per year.

[GetToLivin]

We try to do two a year, one in the spring and one in the fall. Now when that new port in Galveston is done and the Oasis class ships can come here, I might be able to sneak in another 😬

Calendar Year or 12 month period?  😉 

 

August 2018

December 2018

April 2019

August 2019

April 2020

August 2020

December 2020

 

Will be 3 by calendar year, or 4 by 12 month period.  Either way...we took our first cruise on RCCL in August 2018 and had such a great time (me, my wife and 2 kids) that we just can't seem to get enough!  After 21 years of marriage and only having taken 1 vacation in that time we have certainly pendulum swung the other way (vacation defined as going some where other than the Jersey shore for a couple days where you just live the same life in a different location...those are 'trips').  We'll make diamond in April and my kids are already talking "hey maybe we'll be the youngest pineapples ever that sailed all those days!"  (yeah I know,,,my kids are weird)

The most we have ever booked in one year?...… 1. We're still working so we don't have the vacation time to do more than 1. We also do a 10 - 12 day land vacation every year.

[neverbeenhere]

Many.

[Merion_Mom]

More to the point would be "nights at sea".   You can have a dozen 3-nighters, or 3 12-nighters.  Big difference.

[DaniDanielle]

Good point.  We do three a year and try for the 9 to 12 day ones.

[voyager70]

4 for me.  Hope to up that number big time when I retire in 15 years.

Virtually the same as me shipmate. Just different years for the back to back 8's and we rarely have done Halloween. 

[beachnative]

24  cruises the first year we retired......and.....

24  cruises the next year.........it was fun, fun, fun.....most were linked as B2Bs or longer.

[CraigG]

4 in 2019. 2020 will be three.

[Oceansaway17]

well this year I am doing 10 cruises on 5 various cruise lines.  One is B2B up in Alaska and then down the coast to San Diego.  Most are over 7 days.    Fun being retired.  I got 7 reserved for next year of which 2 are on Odyssey - one from FLA and one from Rome.

One is a rare 14 day totally coastal r/t Vancouver to Seward.  Stopping twice in each port and twice in Glacier bay.  P Royal ship.

As much as I love the big ships, I am so looking forward to Vision of the Seas out of Barcelona this coming Spring.  What a cute ship with the Windjammer in the front.

 

In a couple of years I will return to driving trips.  I can't drive to Australia or Europe.  ha ha

I hear ya. Love going out of Boston.

Doing it twice next year on NCL Gem to New England and also Bermuda.  Once I did the NCL Dawn to NE and was great.

 

go BOSTON.  Great city and port.

Becoming more frequent! 3 last year & will be 4 this year...not counting the NYE Cruise that ended on Jan 5. 😊

Never did back to back. If you ever decide to do a Halloween do it on Carnival. They do it right. We did one on Royal and they just do not do it right. They ended up cramming everyone in the atrium. That was a mess. You would not believe the fantastic way people get made up for that. You sit by the casino and watch them constantly walking by to take pictures. A lot of fun. Most of the time the crew dresses up also.

[3monkeys4me]

No more than 1 a year for me. And usually not every year. We take 2 big vacations and 3-4 weekend trips throughout the year. We cruise sometimes, when the price is right or it fits what we are in the mood for. But it isn't our favorite way to travel when it is just the 5 of us. 

[suzk2275a]

3 in a year. Hoping to do at least 4 this year.
