How many vacations (cruises) in a year to avoid burnout

[seelylake9]

:D I probably wouldn't do more than 6 cruises a year. I think that would be my annual limit. It also depends on how long the cruises are of course..

While we worked we were only able to take 1 vacation a year -- rarely could we get the same time off even though we both had seniority at our jobs.

 

But once we retired -- we were able to cruise about 65 - 70 days a year -- usually 4 cruises -- either back-to-back on long cruises.

 

Then a couple of years ago many things happened -- house -- health and now we are lucky to get 2 cruises a year in.

 

And with the hassle of fewer flights and no direct flights to anywhere -- that also keeps us from cruising.

We always cruise three times a year but usually 4-5 cruises. Everyone gets stressed at a different time and pace. DH has highly stressful profession and works exremely hard. He needs regular breaks and we find that R&R on HAL ships. :)

We take ski weeks in January and March--my favorite type of vacation.

 

We have to travel to see our beloved granddaughters, so save some vacation to do that a couple of times a year.

 

If all goes well, we go on another vacation in the fall--but nothing planned this year. We love to do a theater weekend in NYC every couple of years.

 

We like the occasional cruise, went on 7 between 1996 and 2006, but haven't been on one since then. We cruise primarily for the itinerary, and nothing has called to us recently.
