This is an expansion on a previous poll. How often have we cruised on the "luxury" lines and cruised overall.

Oops, I forgot to answer the last one, as I see from the results.

Olivia, there are the same number of votes on all questions.

Marc:

As always, you've come up with another excellent poll. Hope everyone will record their cruise history!

Marc, after I voted, I checked results, and there were no answers for 76-100 on the last question, so I guess it was still in the process of getting them. By the way, I agree with Margo, you come up with good polls!

FWIW....I'm the only one to sail Crystal twice, and, the only one to sail Rad. not once.....does cancellation twice on SOF count.....other than Margo, I'm the other one in the 200+ other category.

aaannnthony, you are very good at deductive reasoning (esp. with the Margo thing). I had forgotten that you have never sailed RSSC. Yes, I remember that some have been cancelled on you. Boy are they up against a challenge to get a good review out of you!

aaa...we actually have 300+ days on ALL cruise lines - lots of HAL days. We'll be adding 38 more by the end of January - sad that they aren't all on RSSC (in November), but Seabourn isn't so bad and after our next cruise we'll have 14 free days on them - that's the good news.

I'm not so sure I answered the last question correctly - I may have just added the "other" cruise days instead of the total.

Margo, I believe you checked 301+. That showed up same time as 101+ on Seabourn.

When did you start cruising? As a child? What has been your favorite cruise? Not cruiseline or ship; but actual cruise?

thanks,

Nope..you aren't alone.. we cruised Crystal 2X
and 200+ days too..

Marc....Tom and I started cruising about 15 years ago - did the first one in 1989 and then stopped - it was an excellent cruise but Tom wanted to play golf on his vacations and Hawaii seemed like a better choice. We started again just to join some friends on a 10 day Caribbean cruise - somehow this time we were hooked!

Cruising with a group of friends is a marvelous experience (as most LCTers can attest). We took several more voyages with our friends, fondly known as The Boat People.

As you know, once you cruise any particular cruise line you are inundated with brochures. One day a glossy flyer arrived detailing 62 days cruising the Pacific Rim from Vancouver to LA (the long way, as I often put it). At that time, I was nearing a milestone birthday and that evening after a dinner and a little too much wine, Tom asked if I'd like to take the cruise as a birthday gift. No fool, I called the travel agent the next day at dawn! Tom has often called that cruise his Mondavi Moment!

It turned out to be one of our favorite cruises - no only did we visit places we though we'd never see, but we learned to love life at sea - at least life at sea on a cruise ship! We are avid blue water cruisers, haven't met a sea day we didn’t love, even some of the rougher ones.

We loved the Pacific Rim cruise so much that we repeated it five years later. We've also learned that we really like longer cruises and rarely book anything less than 28 days.

When you do 62-day cruises, it doesn't take long to accumulate 300+ days! Moreover, every one of them is memorable!

Marc....there are 5 Crystal, 5 Silversea, and 4 Seabourn cruisers. Can you determine, from the voting, how many sailors? The max is 13 since we've cruised both Crystal and Seabourn.

Checking to see if someone has done the "Grand Slam", the "luxury four", or, to see if we have a challenger....we'll still need Silversea after VOYTAN!

Anthony, no way can I figure that out.

Anyone want to come out and admit to sailing on the four luxury lines mentioned?

Thought you had some means, by postings, to see.
You noted Margo's plus 300, not plus 200.

No biggee!

I had to stop and think, several of the cruise lines we have cruised on have long since gone out of business. We loved cruising the old Sitmar Line, and we went on several Sundance Cruises, along with Ren....My Mother and I cruised Holland America when it was really one of the best Lines out there.(the old Vendam and Volendam)mispelled, we wouldn't even think of taking a Holland American cruise today. However we have gone on several RCCL cruises with family, but we know not to expect Radisson or Seabourn food or service, or much else.
My Mom and I even tried Costa Cruises one time, and one time was enough. Princess at one time did a pretty good job, it took us on one of our first trip to Tahiti, this was back in 1988, we had a great time. Boy, I've spent a lot of time cruising, but what a way to go!!!
Sandy :) :) :)
