When was your first cruise?

VanessaL · August 17, 2007

First cruise was Carnival's Carnivale for my honeymoon in July 1984. Two husbands and 26 cruises later, I still remember the excitement of that first cruise!! Seems my cruise addiction has stayed with me longer than the last 2 marriages did, lol! Hopefully, this one's the keeper and our years and cruise numbers will catch up :blush: Of course, this is the first husband who has shared my love of cruising so I'm going with the odds :laugh:

Hi, everyone.... New to this website.... Sorry for the tiny print but I haven't yet found out how to increase the size.... I see how you select what you want but can't find how to save it....I will though..

My first cruise was on the M/S Southward - one of NCL's first ships. It was 1976 and I was hooked from that day to this.

Our first cruise was in January 1989 on the Azur (18,000 tons). Picture this: I am afraid of heights, afraid of water and do not swim (unless it is in a pool) and I went on a cruise. I think it was all because of the show Love Boat. I thought it was sooo romantic and I still do. We had a great time with our best friends and when we get together with them, we still talk about that first cruise.

We are leaving next week to celebrate my retirement on the Crown Princess. We have not done the cruises as much as I would have loved it because of the budget but we enjoyed every single one of them.
