Do you still connect with people that you met on RCCL?

[thefog]

Personally i've become good friends with people i met 10-15 years ago.

[barbeyg]

We met people on our one and only Carnival cruise 31 years ago, and have cruised several times together on RCI since then (last time just before Covid).

 

Never know who you might hit it off with. 🙂

[CruiseKeeper]

Of course we do and continue to cruise with them as well.  Our oldest continuing cruiser relationship is with good friends we met 24 years ago on the Song of America.  

[njkruzer]

Absolutely!   2 couples from Australia that we saw when we did the circumnavigation in 2020,  before the world shut down.

[neverbeenhere]

Yes, the members of KAOS all met on one cruise or another. Of course, our identities are well guarded. 

[DaniDanielle]

We are friendly with quite a few

[cruzingthebriny]

yep

[yogimax]

Many... Almost all of the friendships began in the Diamond Lounge where we would get together on a nightly basis.

[14Terry]

We certainly do! And we’ve went on multiple cruises, with people we’ve met on cruises. 

[FionaMG]

Yes, on our last pre-covid cruise, which was also our one and only Thanksgiving cruise. Hit it off right here on the cc meet and mingle roll call.

[Ashland]

No....We're low key and keep to ourselves and this works great for us. We cruise to get away and spend time together...after 48 years we still enjoy each other's company.

[chiguy67]

Yes, every cruise we have been in we stay in touch with many we meet.sometimes we even meet people that live a couple blocks away from us.

 

on our last cruise in October we were having dinner at Izumi and look over and say a couple we sailed with 13 or 14 years earlier.

[xcell]

Yup-- our daughter met up when they were 5 and now they are 18 (if it wasn;t for covid, we have cruised with them yearly).

 

A couple of great friends who live in the same city... We bumped into each other on one cruise and then another the next year and that's how the story goes.

[shippmates]

We still keep in touch with several people we met on cruises and have sailed with them several times since meeting them.

[MichaelCMTX]

When we did Hawaii on the Radiance in 2013, our "neighbors" were all seated at our same MDR table.  If we did Specialty, we'd go as a group there as well. I think with that trip, you end up with so many days and on the run to Vancouver so many Sea Days you develop more of a 'team spirit'.  One couple had the Royal suite and it was later on we learned they'd won a seven-figure jackpot in Vegas earlier that year.

 

[DCPIV]

Most certainly. We've kept in touch, visited, and cruised with folks that we've met on cruises. We've even kept in touch with a couple of bartenders! 

[davekathy]

Nope. 

[Travelgrrl]

Without really meaning to, I met several nice gentlemen on Royal Cruises back in my 40's, and still keep in touch with them. You can never have too many friends, or beaux!

[pcur]

Had lunch with her about 2 weeks ago!!

[Missusdubbya]

Yes we made lovely friends with peeps from all over

[Dan-P]

Absolutely.  Have made several life-long friends cruising.  But, have also made some lifelong friends during non-cruise vacations.  The world is a big place - strike up conversations wherever you are - you just never know who you may meet/become friends with.

I don't know what to say !

Find this very strange, if I am honest

We've met some lovely people from all over the world that we've sailed with again and visited them before or after a cruise, regularly stayed in touch online during Covid.

Cruising lends itself to meeting folks, especially when we all had assigned dining times and tables.  We've also just met folks other ways, such as having so many laughs at a "martini class" that we all met up every night at the R Bar for more.  In any case, if you spend 15-20 hours or so with someone over several days, you might find that you enjoy each other's company to the extent that you would like to stay in touch.

[moonltnite]

We have friends that we met on a Liberty cruise back in 2009.  We met for dinner when they were in Chicago on business.  We also have become "pen pals" via email - exchanging emails often (2-3 times a month).  There were others that we remained connected with on Facebook after that cruise, as well. We had a very friendly Roll Call group from that sailing!

You invited them to your home in Wales ?

 

Yes, and we've visited with them in Florida if we've not been sailing with them, we are (hopefully) meeting up with some aussie friends next year that we met on a cruise and have since sailed with a couple of times.
