Where & When Was Your Best Cruise

[mcrcruiser]

We can honestly say that our best cruise was to Hawaii before covid on Koningsdan  . 2nd Best was 2 weeks in Alaska ,one week cruise & one week land which we did on our own with a rented car .There is nothing like the USA  .

Our best cruise was the Eastern Mediterranean on the then brand-new Noordam. Magical. But none of our 20+ cruises have been horrible 😊

Yes, pretty much the same thread on the Ask A Cruise section

The last cruise of the Prinsendam.  We went up to Norway and the Arctic Circle.  Nothing like watching whales at 2AM in the morning from the Crow's Nest. Many of the older captains were also on the cruise with us so we got some great lectures about Holland America's history.

Trans pacific. Sydney to Vancouver 2016. .   Best ever. Did not know at the time it would be our last together.

A toss-up....

DW likes the Baltic with 3 days in St. Petersburg (2006) and my choice is Sydney to Tahiti (1999).

We really enjoyed Antartica.  Beautiful scenery.  Loved seeing the penguins.  All was wonderful but a LONG flight from Seattle.

That is a incredible cruise . From what I  have read here people would really like that ship back in the fleet

All of them, but the one to choose was Ireland/Scotland/N. Ireland/Norway in August 2014 on the old Rotterdam.  Only cruise overseas for me, until this October.

I enjoy Alaska, New England and also Norway cruises.

Antarctica by far.  We were on the Grand Antarctica and South America in 2020.  We reminisce about it with each other often.

We've loved every one of our cruises, starting with a Princess cruise/tour to Alaska in 2003 and including several great ones on HAL. Our all-time favorite, though, was on Viking, starting in Bergen and following the coast of Norway northward above the Arctic Circle, then across to the Shetland and Orkney islands before terminating in London. Next up: return to Alaska on HAL this summer!

For me it was the Rotterdam inaugural cruise, Amsterdam to Fort Lauderdale. And it wasn’t because of the itinerary. It was because about six months before the cruise we started Zooming on a weekly basis. This eventually whittled down to a core group of about 25 people. So, when we finally got to the ship it was like having a reunion of old friends. We’d do things together. Not the entire group but we’d always have little groups going to this or that on board. Then, last October a bunch of us were on the Rotterdam again for the 150th cruise. Many of us still Zoom once a month just to keep in touch.

We never had a bad one on Holland America 

[ottahand7]

For me it was Iberian Adventure on the Konigsdam.   Truly wonderful weather and ports.  Sadly it was when I decided I will never fly overseas again but there are always trans-Atlantic and RT cruises.

Mediterranean on Koningsdam 2018.  First time in Tuscany and we went to a vineyard.  The views were spectacular and I wept with joy.  We’ve done 40+ cruises on many different lines, but this one stays in my heart.

Antarctica even though we had to cross the Drake Passage, it was totally worth it.
