Title: Have you been on a cruise?
Post by: dreamyxo on April 29, 2019, 09:07:42 am
I've never been on one but I definitely want to do.  My brother just came back from a cruise from Australia. He's been on several.  Maybe in the fall I will go.

We went on one with our kids when they were younger, but I have NO desire to take on again.  It depends on if you like to gamble and eat!  If you find one that lets you go to different countries and get a tour there, it helps, but a lot of time at sea is boring to me.

Haven't been on one but maybe someday.  It's not on the top of my list of vacations but still I think it might be fun.

I have been on a couple, and the one I took to Alaska was the  best, But now I want to take the river tour up the Mis. ricer, I hear it is a great tour. Start  in La. and end up way north and then fly back .

Yes. I have been on a couple cruises.  I love them. If you have the chance to go on a cruise, you should jump at the opportunity, but a word of warning, if you opt for the cheaper cruises... like here, it's Carnival, you get a cheap & tacky cruise.

When I retire & an empty nester, I plan on spending as much time as possible cruising around the world :)

I have never been.  I keep thinking I would love too some day but then you hear some of the news stories and it just makes me think maybe not.  I know for the number of trips the horror stories are a very small percent but my luck is not that good lol.

I may have but don't remember since I was so little. As an adult I don't think I'd go on one even for free heard about people getting severly ill after eating the food on the cruise.

I have been on a day cruise where you get on the boat for a few hours and get off at night. I am thinking of taking a three-day cruise next year for my mother's birthday.

We went on a cruise from Florida to the Carribean about 10 years ago.  It was fun, and I can understand how folks get "hooked".  I would love to do one of those trans-Atlantic cruises where you are at sea for a few days -- I think that would be SOOOOO relaxing!

Post by: clickers on April 30, 2019, 06:45:41 pm
I've been on one many, many years ago. It was a fun experience. I really had a great time. You don't feel the ship moving so that's great!

I have been on a couple of cruises and were not very impressed but that was a while ago so I plan to try again this Thanksgiving.  I hope it is more enjoyable.

No, I've never been on a cruise, and to be honest, I don't see the appeal.

I went on a Caribbean cruise once. I don't regret it, but I wouldn't do it again. It was kind of boring most of the time. It would've been better to just fly straight to Cozumel and lay on the beach for 5 days.

   Never been on a cruise or cruise ship. I would like to be on one...but short distance only.
   I been on a long haul ferry for days. I like this type of transportation better than a cruise ship...
   because I can take my car with me and ships are smaller than cruise ships.

I've been on a single cruise down the western coast of Mexico, or Baja California.  It was fairly nice and somewhat relaxing.  I was on it with my older sister who really didn't want to do a whole lot so I just accommodated that.  After all, she had paid for it so I was happy to do so!  However, I would have liked to do a few more activities.

We did a day cruise to the Bahamas and stayed 3 nights (all-inclusive) in a nice hotel with great food and I liked that much better than a three-day cruise to Catalina and Mexico.

I have been on a ship once and that is the last time i will go on a cruise.  I was so sea sick and nothing would help with it.  I ate nothing not even water for 3 days.

No not me.  My mom went on several and loved them but to think about being in the middle of the ocean just gives me the *bleep*'s lol.  My sister-in-law wants me to go with her on a cruise to Cuba but I doubt I ever do.

I have been on three cruises and loved every minute of every one of them.  The first one was to Nassau and Freeport.  The second one was to Grand Cayman and Cozemel Mexico.  The last one was the best because it was a seven day cruise on Carnival Dream when the Dream was only one year old.  It was in the western Caribbean and we went to Cozemel, Roatan and Costa Maya.

I have been on almost twelve and will be going again in June.  I really enjoy being waited on but it can make you lazy, no cooking, cleaning, making beds etc. I like the good company and entertainment.  Reality hits after you leave that ship and come back to the real world.

I have never been on a cruise. I don't think I would want to go on. I have motion sickness so I know I would probably have sea sickness.

I haven't been. I don't think it would really be my cup of tea...I get seasick, and it seems like a ton of money to do stuff I could do on land!

You should definelty take a cruise if you get the opportunity.  Choose a destination that interests you the most and then do some comparison shopping.  You wont be disappointed!

Yes! I love cruises! They make planning vacations so simple. I always use Carnival, but I'd be open to try another cruise line. Honestly at this point it doesn't make too much sense to try a different cruise line though bc I get so many perks with Carnival for having been on so many cruises with them.

My daughter and her band were invited to be a part of the Alabama & Friends Festival at Sea cruise, and just about our whole family, kids, grandkids, and spouses went on this trip.  It was such a fun cruise, getting to attend all the different musical shows and sharing it with family.  We got to spend a day in Nassau. I've been on a couple of other cruises, and loved each.  The food is always unbelievable.

Unfortunately, no, I have never been on a cruise. However, my boyfriend and I plan on going on one for our second anniversary later this year. We still haven't decided on the cruise line and destination. Regardless, I think the experience would be good for both of us, both from a romantic and de-stressing standpoint. :)

A cruise is something I have wanted to do.  However, my husband does not want to go on one.  I hope we compromise sometime and just fly to a destination in a nice warm sunny sandy tropical clear water paradise.

No my mom went on several and loved them but I have absolutely no desire to be out in the middle of the ocean.  I am sure it is limited but I have heard stories of people disappearing on cruises so that was enough to turn me off the idea.  Of course I rarely leave my house period lol so you have to factor that in to be aversion to going on cruises.

I love cruises. You get to see a lot of different places and you can buy packages that get you unlimited drinks. I have been on 3 and each experience is so different. Even though you are only in each place for a short time, it gives you a feel for if you could go on a full vacation there or not.

I have no desire to go on a cruise because, for one thing, I get terribly seasick. So I would be miserable on a ship. I also don't like it that cruise ships are breeding grounds for illnesses and there is a chance of getting sick anyhow even if you don't get seasick.
