What year and what ship was your first cruise?

September 2011 MS Statendam. Delayed a day departing Seward. Seven day cruise to Vancouver with just one port, a restocking port day in Juneau. 50 ft. seas, hurricane force winds. We had waves in the swimming pool that emptied the pool the first day out of Seward. We had a great time anyway.

SS Nevassa in 1970! This was a ship that carried parties of school children from the UK and was the only opportunity most of us had for a holiday abroad! We slept in dormitories in bunk beds, about 12 to a room, with an adjoining bathroom with only 2 showers between the 12 girls. We ate canteen style, queuing for food at a counter and clearing our own tables.

 

A very different experience from my cruises these days!

Our first cruise was to Alaska on the old Regal Princess. We sailed away on 9/16/2001, with a lot of empty cabins and a lot of worried people. We loved the cruise.

Our first cruise was QM2 transatlantic N.Y. to Southampton non stop in 2006. the kids always wanted to go to NYC and hubby and I always wanted to try a cruise. A really good deal came up on QM so it was the perfect opportunity to do both. We loved it - the enrichment programme was amazing and the had a planetarium ! Next cruise was once the kids had left home on carnival but since then we have cruised only on Royal Caribbean.

1997 - Celebrity Meridian, NYC to Bermuda. Third last voyage for her with Celebrity. She was sold soon after when RCL bought Celebrity. Really beautiful ship, she caught fire and sank in southeast Asia less than two years later. A real shame.

My first cruise was a contest reward from a former employer. It was January 1990 on Princess Star to San Juan, St Thomas, and somewhere in the Dominican republic, that we actually weren't able to stop at.

That still remains the only itinerary stop we have missed.

Start big! I'll be curious what you think if you try a small(er) ship. Having sailed on small to large, I seem good at setting my expectations and having a good time no matter what.

Did you get married 9 months after that trip? I'm totally kidding, congrats on the long marriage. What made me laugh was the reminder when you pointed out couple hundred kids and 3 chaperones. Sounds like my senior trip, a trip to Washington DC and the US Bicentennial. Add in the chaperones went to bed at 10.
