What is your favorite way to take a cruise?

[STXCruisers]

I voted "other" because I prefer to cruise with my husband, but also with a group of CC friends we have met online and with whom we have communicated and shared information during the period preceding the cruise. It is such fun putting faces to the names and communicating in person with people you have already come to "know" at least to some degree. We have made some very good friends this way and it makes the anticipation of the cruise even better. I cannot imagine cruising without a cruise critic group to meet onboard!:eek:

Does this mean that you don't like ocean liners :)

[CrabbyHarper]

Too bad the poll does not allow for multiple answers. I only cruise when I am alone....or with someone. ;)

Good one, Crabby! Glad to see a post from you. We're off to sea again in about two months.

Who would like to see these useless "polls" eliminated from Cruise Critic?! ME!

[Stella Jules]

Agreed..Lose the polls please:)

[Can'tstopcruising]

It says "poll", so if you are not interested, you can ignore the thread.

That isn´t very nice...if you don´t want to participate , don´t.

You beat me to it!! LOL

At this point in time, taking a cruise with just your spouse has the most votes.

"Other".

 

I really enjoyed cruising with my husband, my mom, and her husband. (I would've chosen "spouse and parents" if it was available even though he's not my father- but I like him an awful lot!) We do not have any children and I am young enough to have parents that are still pretty young too :) I think once we have children I'd like us to all travel together. Maybe my family in a suite and the "grandparents" in the balcony next door?

Live Aboard Dive Boats. While I have been on quite a few of these, the two below were especially nice:

The next one, March 2010, I am looking forward to and hope it is as nice as those above:

Reclined, with an adult beverage in one hand, and my wife in the other.

Need multiple also.

 

Was Spouse for the first 24 cruises - She passed away.

First time Signicant other (Or so I thought) kids and friends

This time my buddy is going with me - first time cruise for him.

Who knows what happens after that.

[Gonzo70]

What - no option for "With Spouse & Significant Other?" :D

LOL - That is funny - Gonzo, I love your sense of humor :)

[Bridge Maven]

I am surprised that only three respondents to this poll voted solo because I have read so many cruise critic posts recently from people who love to cruise solo.

[Karynanne]

I also would have liked a multiple choice option. Up until 5 years ago, we always just cruised by ourselves. But after meeting so many people through CC, we have developed deep friendships and plan our cruising vacations with them.

Our extended family includes our wonderful friends who we've met on previous cruises. We've sailed many times with a few and a few times with many others. Having said that they are now part of our family permanently.

Pat C, I agree with your sentiment and feel that friends are the family we choose for ourselves :)
