CruiseWendy Posted February 8, 2020 #27 Share Posted February 8, 2020 How many of you with multiple cruise live within driving distance of the ports? The max I've done is two however I have to fly everywhere. Unless I do an Alaska Cruise every other week as I can see the ships from my office 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also work full-time...so two of my cruises this year are short (4 nights & 5 nights). This year...two short cruises out of FL, one out of California, & one from Barcelona. None will be from Baltimore or NY...although I’ve cruise from each of those ports once in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I do an Alaska Cruise every other week as I can see the ships from my office 🙂 Seven of our 33 cruises have been to Alaska - just love those. Must make you itch for a return trip to watch the ships from your office! We have done 33 cruises in the 40 years since our first cruise in 1979. The longest was 16 nights; the shortest was Disney 4 nights out of Port Canaveral. We were working much more than '9 to 5' during 30 of those years, which meant typically 1 cruise a year! Usually fly somewhere in the world to a port for a cruse; drove to Galveston's port for 2 cruises, nothing really exciting out of there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Sounds good to me! I will check into it for this year.

Missusdubbya Posted February 8, 2020 #32 Share Posted February 8, 2020 8 in 2019. 1 from Australia (not really driving distance from home though) and 7 from US ports. Only have 1 booked for this year so far though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted February 8, 2020 #37 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Wonder is there is a correlation between a high number of cruises and close proximity to a cruise port. I suspect (in general) those who live an hour or less drive from a port have more cruises per year than someone who has to fly to each cruise. m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broadwaybaby123 Posted February 8, 2020 #39 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Due to work schedules, I can only take a max of 2 per year, so I go on a cruise about every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're retired, but having to fly [most of the time many hours] for every cruise "impacts" our cruising budget..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godawgs227 Posted February 9, 2020 #46 Share Posted February 9, 2020 2 - 3 per year on average. This year a 12 nighter(Celebrity Silhouette - first time on Celebrity) in March and a B2B(RC Liberty) in Aug/Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time the crew dresses up also. Try a royal ship with a royal promenade. Quite the festivity. We did the Symphony TA in 2018. Amazing amount of costumes and the quality was off the charts. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Barcelona voyage does end up at home. That's nice So, we don't tire of cruising, just that same weekend trip over and over. Unless the casino gives them away like last summer😉 Edited February 9, 2020 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatour Posted February 16, 2020 #50 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Three cruises in one calendar year. Four days in one 12 month period. This was abnormal, we usually do one cruise a year. 21 days at sea during one year. While not within an hour drive time (or 100 miles) for all of the ports we cruise from. One is, the other two are within a short a 5 or 6 hour drive (we like to either drive down the day before or halfway down. If we had to fly, we would not be doing as many cruises. We do fly "speciality" cruieses (Med, TA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
