ACoupleAtSea Posted March 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Typically, how many days sailed does the most traveler passenger have. I am just curious as to how low some of the numbers are and how high some of the numbers are. I know this is a very general question and there are a ton of different answers.

moki'smommy Posted March 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It varies greatly. There was a thread on this last week. Numbers ranged from 200s to well over 700 nights. Most were in the 500 range. Bottom line, I'll never be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Less than it used to be as Princess have treated some of their MTP rather poorly and they have decided to cruise on any line except Princess. Too much reduction in great cruise experience and too much increase in Princess BS. I have been the first MTP with 600 or so days on an 8 day British Isles cruise on Pacific Princess, and on another cruise I have barely scraped into the MTP lunch at all. I have cruised with 4 friends on Princess who have about 2000 days and that pretty much guaranteed No 1 most times. None of them will now cruise Princess.

Princess has so many ships and crew members that unless you gravitated to just a few ships it would be impossible for crew to know you on sight. Yes, these people have spent a small fortune on cruises. But seriously, other than another good cruise, what do the feel they are entitled to? Or what did Princess do that was enough to make them leave the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACoupleAtSea Posted March 28, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It seems like a tough goal to achieve, I feel like 200 days is realistic. Its all about being on the right cruise at the right time. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might well get them into the MTP lunch or cocktail party on a cruise full of noobs though. Edited March 28, 2018 by Griller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukesubsailor Posted March 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It appears that people with the most days at sea favor the longer cruises so that is when it takes 500 + days to . On short cruises the most traveled passenger will have fewer days at sea and 200 + may win the distinction. An exception might be the short cruises to the Caribbean sea in the winter. That is when hundreds, if not thousands of people take multiple cruises back to back. On our back to back cruise last month there were over 500 passengers who stayed on the ship when one cruise ended and the next began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just wanted to be treated decently, and the more often you cruise the more chances there are things will go wrong, and if the cruise line doesn't make it right in a decent way then anyone is going to get annoyed and vote with their feet - and their wallet. I only have just over 70 cruises on Princess and nothing so terrible has happened that I am totally fed up, but it certainly ain't what it used to be, and we are cruising on many different lines a lot more now and some are better and not much more cost if any. I have come to the conclusion that if you don't expect too much from any cruise line now then you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted March 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I think you are right. I've noticed the "ain't what it used to be" on all three lines that we tend to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums We usually do 20 to 30 day long Princess cruises and it seems the MTP are usually up in the 1,000 plus days easily....usually 1,400 or more....I always notice because I think to myself that they have spent years on the Princess ships! The last 10 day cruise we were on the MTP was just over 500 days....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted March 28, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Last week, the MTP only had 770 days. I was really surprised at how few days they had since most of our cruises seem to have people in the 1300's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were No 1 on one cruise and then No 2 on the B2B to it - and we preferred No 2 as we like the Korbel Brut better than the French champagne. And we got the rather nice lead crystal glass paperweights both times, probably never get any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 29, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Two years ago, the cutoff for the Most Traveled Cocktail party was 150 days. All (30 people) of the Elites were invited. The Captain's Circle rep decided not to invite any Platinums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierlesscruisers Posted March 29, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I had a friend who had about 3 years on Princess ships and was usually the most travelled. Sadly, he passed away this past January. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pris993 Posted March 29, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Depends on type of cruise you do. A few years back, we decided to do a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean on the Ruby and do a 7 day on a Celebrity ship and compare the too cruises. It was interesting, on a 7 day cruise on the Ruby we made the cut off for a MTP luncheon, with about 250 days... we never kept track of days, because when we started cruising they counted cruises not days. We are elite on Princess and Celebrity... have cruised on 9 different cruise lines over past 30 years... with 26 cruises with Princess. Unless I was on a 7 day again, doubt we ever make the cut again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACoupleAtSea Posted March 29, 2018 Author #19 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Well its gonna take alot more cruise days to have my house decorated with Navigational maps and to one day have our faces on the cover of the patter.

Rare Waynetor Posted March 29, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Long cruise will have high numbers, even higher when there are several new to Princess ports. Inaugural cruise on a new ship will have high numbers. True 14 day Caribbean cruise will have high numbers. Alaska cruise will have low numbers except if it is a continuation of a cruise that started in Asia. Panama Canal cruise will have low numbers especially the 10 day partial voyages. 5 day cruises in the Caribbean or California have low numbers.

Pam in CA Posted March 29, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 29, 2018 On my cruises, the Most Traveled is usually well over 1,000. At 460 days, I’m rarely invited to the Most Traveled luncheon or cocktail party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so on the mark that I had to read it aloud to DH and we both had a good chuckle. It’s definitely a dog and pony show. Frankly, cruising was a lot more fun before we started being in the top three most traveled because those parties are painful as all get out (to me. DH still enjoys them).
