Question for Seasoned Cruisers

[vmarq]

Curious minds want to know. Of the cruise itineraries and/or parts of the world you have cruised, what has been your favorite and why?

[yayvacation!]

Eastern Caribbean

Western Caribbean

Southern Caribbean

Alaska

South East Asia

 

Favorite: Toss up between Alaska and Asia (with the edge to Asia)

 

Asia because it was so exotic and cultural and just amazing. Alaska because the natural beauty was just breathtaking. Both sailings were on M-class ships.

[patty1955]

Alaska. It's by far the most beautiful.

Curious minds want to know. Of the cruise itineraries and/or parts of the world you have cruised, what has been your favorite and why?

 

We love a cruise that has Venice, Santorini(Oia), Malta, Rhodes, etc. South America was very special for the Patagonia area. So many places, so little time!

[NLH Arizona]

Gosh, what a hard question. There are so many, but these are my best in no particular order:

 

Antarctica - One of the most beautiful serene places on this earth

2,010 down the Amazon - just darn exciting and got to see Boto dolphins (pink river dolphins)

Norway - homeland of my father

The Mediterranean - Greece, Turkey, Italy, etc. fantastic ruins and the people were fantastic

Alaska - Beautiful and there are the whales

New England - I just love New England and the fall colors

[Karynanne]

Australia and New Zealand.

[Atwell]

Curious minds want to know. Of the cruise itineraries and/or parts of the world you have cruised, what has been your favorite and why?

 

1. Mediterranean - especially Istanbul, Ephesus, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Venice, Florence, Barcelona.

 

2. Baltics - especially St. Petersburg

 

3. Asia - especially Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore

 

All of them have historical importance, or beautiful scenery, or a fascinating culture and/or interesting and beautiful architecture.

The South Pacific! It is so Exotic! Especially our favorite port of Bora Bora!

[RMSeadog]

Croatia and/or Scotland because of my Roots. However, we are ready to go anywhere Celebrity goes except the Galapagos, too dear and too strenuous for DW. ~ Rick

We have loved all f them but the Galapagos was, by far, the absolute best

[kannna]

The Norwegian Fjords on the Century. Small ship. So much beauty of the natural world to wonder at. Incredibly nice people.

 

Otherwise I've loved them all.

[zelker]

so far it's Alaska, the Baltics, and the Med (east and west) :)

[Lois R]

1) Cruise on Equinox to the Med....Rome, Siclily, Naples, Mykonos,

Santorini, Rhodes, Athens and Ephesus.....omg....why? The history

is just amazing:D.....the scenery isn't chopped liver either;)

 

2) Alaska...it is majestic.

[CathyCruises]

Been to the Med 5-6 times, Caribbean too many to count, Mexico x 5, Alaska twice, New Zealand, Norway/North Sea, but the most beautiful was definitely Tahiti. . .hands down winner for beauty. But for history, architecture, wonderment and awe, surely many Med ports qualify for that.

[Kartgv]

The absolute best - circumnavigation of Australia, then several ports in New Zealand, a total of 34 days onboard, plus several days pre-cruise in Sydney. Spectacular and varied scenery, people who actually LIKE Americans in every port, an aft cabin with unbelievable/mesmerizing views of the wake, a beautiful ship and crew, just a true 'bucket list' cruise! The only negatives- the flight time to get there and get home, plus getting an ear infection and missing snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. Must go back and try again!

[neverbeenhere]

Lame answer here... we love all areas,because we love to cruise. Every cruise is different, has positives and negatives. Cruise on.

[neverbeenhere]

Sorry, you asked for seasoned folks, we only use salt and pepper.

[Big_G]

So far:

 

1.) Alaska

2.) Panama Canal

3.) New England/Canada

 

We love the Caribbean but unlike the top three, it's become more of an escape from winter than a destination cruise.

Before I leave this earth...those 2 places are on my list. I have wanted

to go Downunder since..well....long before they became "THE Place

to visit"......I see you are in CALIF...so from there, what was the

fly time?:eek:

[smtcan]

Another vote for the Galapgos Islands, with Australia - New Zealand and South America close behind. I also love the Mediterranean and Adriatic, especially Santorini, Dubrovnik and Kotor.

I'm trying to convince DW that the flight time is manageable if we do: JFK to LAX, pause, LAX to Hawaii, pause, then Hawaii to Australia. But it's hard to do that in less than 30 days.

[Nancyquilts]

Antarctica!:D It's truly "out of this world".

[Doctor G]

Alaska and Norwegian Fjords--the beauty of the mountains and waters.

Last year we did a two week or so Azamara to Southeast Asia that was terrific! Also we have done 3 Paul Gaugin cruises to Tahiti. That having been said we always enjoy Celebrity, especially Aqua class.

Hi:).we are both in the Eastern Timezone so the same amount of time

away....Florida...to LAX.......30 days off in a row? I would do it in

a heartbeat but I have to work for at least 10 more years:eek::rolleyes::confused:

first.......
