Have you ever sailed on the same ship?

I found another Cruise but its on the Explorer again,do you think its a waste to go on the same ship? we enjoyed the ship but being so new with Cruising wonder if its a waste not to try other Ships.

Wonder how many of you have sailed on the same ship once? twice? or more..

Thanks

I personally think if you find something special its always fine to revisit..I would revisit the Century in a moment, as I have Honolulu, If the Explorer touched you I soay GO FOR IT!

We'll be taking our fourth cruise on Norwegian Majesty this summer. Three of those times are the same itinerary. We also sailed SS SeaBreeze twice. There is often so much to see on board that one trip doesn't suffice! And even though the ships are the same, the people you meet will help make it a different cruise. Staying in a different cabin also makes it seem newer.

If you liked the ship, there's no reason not to sail her again. After all, they're all starting to look alike, anyway!

I loved the Britanis, and sailed on her 12 times. A lot of us 'locals,' love to get away for a long week-end, and have sailed of the Fascination's 3-niter several times. I know Cheryl, and company, has and I an a lot of my friends.

Did the Sovereign of the Seas twice (disliked both...).

And, of course, another favorite, The Dolphin IV, a few times.

We've sailed several ships more than once. If you like the itinerary and the ship, sounds like a match made in Heaven. Go for it.

Our first two cruises were both on the Carnival Destiny and we loved it both times. We loved Aruba and were very happy to be going there again.

I've been on the Mariner 3 times now and would definitely go back. Lots of reasons to sail the same ship, but the one that I like is that you get to know the staff and when you go back you get even better treatment. Plus every time I go I always find something I hadnt done before.

We were on RCL Viking Serenade several times, and now Carnival Pride and Paradise a number of times. We live only 45 minutes from the dock and if we want a quickie Mon-Fri Baja cruise, we're limited to which ships we can take.

I have no problem going on the same ships...after one or two times, you SHOULD get to know your way around without using the map! LOL!

I wouldn't avoid a ship just because I've been on it, unless it wasn't enjoyable. I do tend, while researching cruises, to look at something different, but I can definitely see us repeating the Grand Princess class (and the Sapphire this month isn't a whole lot different anyway), and I am even considering repeating on the Carnival Victory later this year.

I forgot to mention, I am also about to go on the enchantment for the second time too, the ships are all designed with the same basic concept with each one having some individuality, and there is so much to do on each one.
