hansolosmom Posted June 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi all - curious if this might be too ambitious I'm booked on the March 6th Breakaway cruise with my mom & sister. That date is set in stone & can't be moved. I was checking last night Spring Breaks and my son is out where we could cruise the March 20th Breakaway. I was surprised the prices were so good. So I would be on the ship for 7 days, go home a week, then cruise again. The traveling isn't bad since it's just a drive up from Philly. Has anyone done this before, I didn't know if it would be too crazy to do. I've never done Breakaway before but I'm easy to please on a ship so I can't imagine not liking it & wanting to cancel the second trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie3fan Posted June 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Why not do the March 13th sailing as well? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnie&clydecruzers Posted June 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2015 As long as you don't mind the traveling, I say go for it. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantthinkofanythingfun Posted June 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I came close to doing it last November, but I had a 2 week break in between. It was fun. Most of the crew I interacted with still remembered me. It's also not so depressing on the last day because you know you're coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kjquilts Posted June 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We loved Getaway and I imagine Breakaway is much the same. We would not be bored doing it back to back or almost back to back ..... more things to do than we had time for in one week. We live on the west coast which entails flying clear across the country for most cruises. Next October we're booked on the Gem out of New York for Canada/New England cruise, spending one night between cruises and getting on the Breakaway the next day for Bermuda. One round trip set of airfare for two bucket list cruises :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolosmom Posted June 24, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This is why I love my fellow cruisers, because we will all think this is a great idea. :) I'm glad to hear it's not too far fetched and if I can work out the budget we can do it since the first cruise has the free 3rd passenger & the second cruise has 50% off for the 3rd passenger. kjquilts - that would be an awesome 2 trips. We did Canada/NE a couple years ago & my mom still talks about it. Also done Bermuda which I love & am hoping to go back in the next 2 years. cantthinkofanythingfun - a friend of my dh had a similar experience although the cruises were a couple months apart - the bartender yelled the "Hi Cathy" when he saw them walk into the bar nancyl2 - we're really close to Valley Forge on the 422 corridor. I always start with Philly as the main city & if people know the area, I use KOP & Valley Forge as my next markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand and Seas Posted June 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We did a cruise, then home for two weeks and back on a cruise! Best part was that it was really easy to pack for the 2nd cruise....into the washer and back into the suitcase:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We once went on a 12 day transatlantic, came home for 10 days and then did a 14 day Southern Caribbean. And that meant flight home from Barcelona Spain nd not too many days later a fllight to San Juan PR. Edited June 25, 2015 by NMLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobg529 Posted June 25, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 25, 2015 If I were you I'd book the week in between too, then you could do back to back to back! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freespir8 Posted June 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 25, 2015 If I were you I'd book the week in between too, then you could do back to back to back! :rolleyes: Agreed! This would be amazing! Either way...two cruises are way better than one...and three would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyvillage Posted June 25, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Of course you should do it! I once met a retired doctor on NCL Star and he cruised every other week, same ship, same cruise (Mexican Riviera) and said it was a great way to be retired!

Jenjer Posted June 25, 2015 #19 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Last year we did a trip to California home for a week then cruise on Quantum. California was for Nationals in water polo never thought DD would go there and Quantum had been booked a year before. Since DH and I work it was stressful but also kind of cool. We took the same clothing with a few exceptions. But for 2 cruises you could have everything the same. I did laundry and just repacked everything. It worked out great so I say do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
