Rare Hlitner Posted September 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2023 This might be a big self-serving, but the topic came up yesterday when we booked a future cruise on our 19th cruise line. It is not that we intentionally try different lines, but we do enjoy variety. This topic also came up on our recent Westerdam cruise, where we befriended one of the Guest Entertainers who told us he had worked on 13 different lines. So folks, for some fun tell us all how many cruise lines you have tried! Hank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted September 25, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Great posts. But lets be more specific. I was looking for ocean cruise lines, not tour companies that charter ships belonging to another cruise line. We also did not add river cruise companies to the mix, although perhaps that is a good idea. Another issue, for us, is other lines we might consider in the near future. At our age we can only think of one line (Viking Ocean Cruises) that might work into our plans (we have been on Viking River....but do not count that among our OP (only has Ocean cruise lines). Since others are posting lists (great idea) we will join that fray :_ RCCL (RCI) Sitmar Princess Celebrity Azamara Seabourn HAL Orient Regency Crystal Zeus MSC NCL Carnival Renaissance Radisson Seven Seas Explora Journeys (tomorrow) Oceania (March 2024) Silverseas (Dec 2024) Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the line were to be judged on pre-cruise support/communications, they will be a big failure. Of course, many of us have had delt with cruise lines that had awful land-based customer service but excelled onboard. Even after 50 years of extensive cruising, we have never gambled on a new ship of a new cruise line...with nobody having a clue what to expect :). Gonna be fun. Also looking forward to finally trying "O" this spring. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcl410 Posted September 25, 2023 #21 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I had to write them down first; my total is 9 -well the first one wasn't labeled a cruise, but it sure did pique my interest. Starting in 1969 (at 8 years old) The French Line (only once on SS France from NYC to Le Havre; we flew back) Skip forward to 1995 American Hawaii Cruises(x 6-7 - I lived in Hawaii in the 90's a VERY low price one Christmas got me on board, and I haven't stopped cruising.) Royal Caribbean (x a lot -my go to default line .. first was 2 weeks out of Singapore on the Sun Viking.) Norwegian Cruise Line (2 x, but one was SS Norway.. It was interesting to see how much of the ship looked sort of familiar from my first time - although the children's dining room was gone. .) Windjammer Barefoot Cruise Line(MV Amazing Grace x 2) Cunard (QE2 - San Diego to Honolulu, NYC to Southampton; QM2 UK - NYC x3) Premier (SS Rembrandt x1) Star Clippers (Royal Clipper x 3) MSC (x 1 MSC Fantasia Brail - Portugal.)

Rare Honolulu Blue Posted September 25, 2023 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Five so far: Carnival (14 sailings, 2 booked) Celebrity (5 sailings, 1 booked) Princess (3 sailings) Royal Caribbean (2 sailings, 2 booked) Holland America (1 sailing) In addition, I have a booking on Norwegian. Curiously, I can't, at this time, imagine booking with any cruise line other than those six - unless one of them is chartered by someone that offers a cruise that interests me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
