Would you rather two short cruises or one long one?

[lynnber]

Thinking ahead to next year, I can book a three day cruise, and then a four day cruise six months later, or one seven day cruise.

 

Transportation to the cruise isn't a problem since I'm in South Florida. Having just done a three day cruise, I feel it was too short to really relax, but I'm sure if I was offered another one in six months, I'd grab it. Just wondering what other's would do... this is a very good problem :)

I like the longer cruises.

Take The 7 Day! Even That Seems Like It Flys By.;)

Definately the longer one

Might i suggest two 5 day cruises. You can usually get a good deal on them and that way you could take two in one year.

[memphislonghorn]

take the 7 day. No vacation is long enough.

[cuted126]

I would do the 7 day!!

If your the type of person who can instantly relax and get the daily stress out of your mind 2 short cruises will be fine..

 

But if it takes you a couple of days to really slow down your better off on a long one...

 

I can relax in a heart beat so I'm good both ways... my wife takes several days to get the daily stress out of her system so she only enjoys longer cruises....

You live in a good area, the Florida cruise market is oversaturated as it is... You can get a good deal on a 7 day in the off season time of Nov-Dec

7 days....not worth unpacking for 4 days. By the time you turn around the cruise is over.

[big_duck]

Do to shortys back to back, that 2 ticks towards platinumn status. :D

[runcassrun_07]

I would book a 7 day because you can relax more and will probably be even cheaper than 2 short cruises. But Don just metioned a good idea to get Platinum faster:D . Let us know what you chose. No matter what you'll make a good decision.

I'd choose the 7 day too! You have more time to relax and enjoy cruise rather than all the packing before and after. But Don gave a good idea of booking 2 back to back if you want to reach platinum card faster. Let us know what you pick.

Thanks,

Do a 7 day and a 3 day. Here in Florida, we receive a lot of deals at the last minute on the 3 day cruises at $199.

qwiki to Plat...change of people, one ride to port..get cabin for both..one unpack/pack..same cabin attend..same table/chair. check it on a price on a day to day basis to see the better deal..a 4 day is pricier that a 5 day on the day. .

[skuttduck]

I love the 12 day Europe cruises. 7 days while it is ok, you feel like you are just getting started.

[truecruiser]

i'd skip the wait in between and do a 3 day and a 4 day B2B and get 2 cruise credits toward platinum.;)

 

(or even better, a 4 day and a 5 day, if you have that much time).

[halos]

I like the longer cruises.

 

 

me too!

Only my idea of a long cruise is at least 10 days...7 days is short and 5 or under is just a tease.

Thought they only count 5 day or longer towards credits for any status. Correct me if I heard wrong.

 

7 days wasn't long enough for us, we're thinking of doing 2 7 dayers b2b.

You heard wrong.

IMHO, the worst part of a cruise is the embarkation process, including being tired from travelling, the last night on board :( , and debarkation. On a 3 day cruise, that really only gives you one day to relax, except that you will most likely be at a port.

 

You have a unique opportunity in that you live in S. FLA, so I would definitely look at some of the 90 day ticker sites out there and grab a deal.

(Why not make it two 7 day cruises!)

no. all cruises count. even 2 day CTNs.

[joan_al]

Where's the link for that info?

[truecruiser]

Where's the link for that info?

 

i know there is a carnival platinum link. i don't know if it specifically says 2 day CTNs count. but i do know from members on this board that they have counted. i'll see if i can find the link and/or threads.

[truecruiser]

here's the info on platinum: (just states 10 or more cruises, period, no limitations. this may change in the future though. you never know).
