Most nights on board.

[Wonky]

Having been surprised last month at the world club party at someone having been on board 2732 nights, I was further staggered this cruise by a couple having 3011 nights on board including 22 world cruises!

 

Thought it might be fun to add most nights at club world parties as we attend them.

It’s also fun to see how far people go back. A WC party I attended had someone with thousands of nights who had started on the first Caronia.

Only once were we on board when someone exceeded 3,000 nights. It was on a cruise to Norway on the QE in 2013.  I forget the exact number of nights but a rough calculation was nine years.

The first Caronia (1904-1931, and James Bisset’s first Cunard ship)?! Now, that’s something!

Ooooops. Sorry, not that one, the green one. 🙂

Would that green one be the Mauritania perhaps? I'm sure someone here knows.

No, the 1948 Caronia.

Oh, I see, I didn't know there were two ships called Caronia. I am learning so much from this board, thanks everyone 😄

There were three. Vistafjord was briefly called Caronia.

RMS Caronia (1904-1931). The last major Cunard liner equipped with reciprocating steam engines (unlike her turbine-powered sister, Carmania, famous for sinking, as an auxiliary merchant cruiser, SMS Cap Trafalgar in an epic battle in 1914).

RMS Caronia (1947-1967 [with Cunard], broken up 1974). The first Cunarder to sport the green cruise ship livery.

MS Caronia (ex-Vistafjord, 1973-2017; with Cunard 1983-2004 [as Caronia since 1999]). 
Below are photos of each. (No doubt in my mind which one is the best-looking, even in black-and-white.)

Got off Queen Elizabeth this morning and the person with the most number of nights had done over 3,000 but I can’t remember exactly how many it was.

I doubt they can either. 🙂 Did you have a nice time?

We had a lovely 2 weeks. Unfortunately now sitting in Barcelona Airport with a near 3 hour delay, meaning we miss our connecting flight back to Norwich.

That’s the one I was on, it was 3011 and as they are still on board, still rising!!
