Cruise Question of the Day

Todays Question:

Thinking about the amount of time you are allocated each year for vacations...

if you could....

Would you rather take ONE long cruise or break it up into a couple of shorter cruises?

JoeyandDavid · April 6, 2008

In our home we get 4 weeks a year of vacation time.. although we never take all four weeks at once( which I would love to do)... to this point we are opting for two-three shorter vacations instead of a month long get away!

Us too - we prefer to take a 14 day and a 7 day cruise - although some years we've taken a 21 day cruise and a 7 day.... that's perfect.

I only get 2 wks. per year and this year I'm taking a 10 night cruise with a 2 night after cruise stay in Miami or Fll. I would rather have two shorter cruises to break up the year better but we'll see how this works out. :cool2:

Would rather take two shorter vacations than one long one! More anticipation to savor!

Todays Cruise Question:

Either still in commission or not....Which ship is your favorite? ...Why?

Out of the 6 ships I have been on, so far I would have to say the Star Princess. It's a large ship but not a mega-ship. This ship also always had a variety of activities - something for everyone. It also always had a choice of evening shows with 2 different theaters or movies, etc..

So far, my favorite is the 490 PAX Regent Seven Seas Navigator. From what I've heard, I'll like my next ship, the 700 PAX Regent Seven Seas Mariner, even more. Obviously, I'm not a big ship fan.

Why did I like this ship so much? The food was much better than on the two best mainstream lines I've been on, HAL and Celebrity. Sort of like comparing hot food in a three star restaurant (Regent) with almost hot food in a good hotel banqet room (HAL and X). In one way, the entertainment was better than the big lines, since there was an alternative venue even when there was a show in the min show room. The excursions were pricy, but offered more personalized experiences tha on the big lines. The service was several cuts above the mainstream lines. Best of all, there was no nickel and diming., since tips and wine with dinner were included. Our onboard account consisted of one picture from the photo shop and our shore excursions - nothing else. I expect the same, plus an internet bill (required by my office) on our next cruise.
