Rare John&LaLa Posted May 19, 2015 #51 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There are lots of places I still want to visit in the world, but only three cruises that are on my list: Norwegian fjords Alaska Antarctica I have never cruised before, but next week am off on Explorer to visit the fjords, so one down, two to go. :) Brrrrrr. Interesting list, no desire for a slightly warmer itinerary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendale1 Posted May 19, 2015 #52 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Brrrrrr. Interesting list, no desire for a slightly warmer itinerary Haha! I do like a bit of sun and warmth (have done Egypt, Vegas, LA, Florida and the Med all in the summer months). But for cruising, I think the scenery and views on my to do list, just can't be beaten. The Caribbean and Med cruises just don't interest any of my family tbh, as lovely as I'm sure they are. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pspercy Posted May 19, 2015 #53 Share Posted May 19, 2015 not a fun time and Australia would be longer. Yes, a deterrent! We have a nonstop from DFW to Sydney, quoted as 16h 55m. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted May 19, 2015 Author #54 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) There are many places in the world I would like to visit, but I would like to see most of them on a land vacation where I would have more than 6-10 hours at each stop. However, the exception is the Panama Canal. I think that would be simply amazing to experience on a cruise ship with a balcony room. Definite bucket list item. Side note: For those of you that have not been to Alaska yet, add that to your list. I have sailed Alaska several times on Celebrity and it is the best cruise experience I have ever had. Buy the balcony room on the trip for sure. 6-10 hours in a port is just fine with me to get a little bit of each place. When we cruise the Med it may give us reason to plan a land vacation to one, two or three of the countries. On two separate occasions we have spent two weeks each in Israel, and it was nice but the packing and unpacking every few days to change our hotel to see other locations was annoying and what cruising gives you, is one stop unpacking.

SteelMagnolia9 Posted May 19, 2015 #55 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Why leave off Port Canaveral? Because it is approximately a 4-4 1/2 hour drive from my home, further than the other ports. I would consider Port Canaveral if there was an itinerary that didn't duplicate a cruise I could take from one of the other ports. I did see Carnival has a cruise from Port Canaveral to Bermuda this fall, but the timeframe doesn't work for me. If you are aware of other special itineraries from that port, let me know.

sjb317 Posted May 20, 2015 #59 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I would love to do an Alaskan cruise but so far, have not been able to talk my husband into it!:D I did, however, talk him into an Iceland cruise in August, hoping that will inspire him for Alaska. I would also like to do one of the New England/Canadian cruises and a cruise up the west coast. Sherri:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stateroom_Sailor Posted May 20, 2015 #61 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The bucket list is ever growing, but I'll start with these: Transpacific Transatlantic Panama Canal West Coast East Coast Canada/New England Alaska Yukon Hawaii Australia New Zealand Greek Islands ....

In cruising season Alaska does NOT necessarily mean cold. Weather there is indeed very variable but that's the chance you take (same in northern Europe). We went in late August and it was just fine, mostly 70s or so and we can't wait to go back for more:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Angel Posted May 21, 2015 #68 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Second list includes the Galapagos Islands this year and back to Antarctica eventually. Also, longer land-based trips that do not include cruising; Botswana, Iceland, etc. Edited May 21, 2015 by Bookish Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted May 21, 2015 #69 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Gosh, we have not been everyplace but have been fortunate enough to have gone to all that were important to us. No longer have a "bucket list" ... just enjoy cruising on whatever suits us best when we want to go. Are we the only ones who feel this way?

Buy the balcony room on the trip for sure. Ditto on Alaska. Do it ASAP. It is amazing. Just cruised to Alaska for the first time 2 weeks ago. The scenery is so beautiful and breath taking. Would do it again. I am considering canceling our next Caribbean cruise to go back to Alaska. We did a balcony but I would purchase any type of cabin just to go again.

SPacificbound Posted May 21, 2015 #73 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Still on the "bucket list" is South Africa, but that won't be a cruise. :) For those who mentioned Australia, if at all possible fly one way and cruise the other so you can actually travel within Australia. The same applies to New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
