Rare Honolulu Blue Posted August 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hi everyone. I thought it would be interesting to find out how many times you've sailed on a particular cruise ship. Here's my story. I have sailed four times on the Celebrity Summit. In 2017, I chose this ship as it was sailing a nice itinerary (IMHO) out of sunny San Juan at a nice price. I liked the cabin and the rest of the ship, and we even had a rock star of a captain. Fast forward four years. We were taking baby steps toward a cruising restart and the Summit was sailing out of Miami then. It had been extensively renovated and I really liked what they did to it. The itinerary was meh (Cozumel and Costa Maya, didn't bother getting off the ship), but the price was definitely right. Another good time was had. The other two sailings on the Summit were music charter cruises. Those were awesome times, and the Summit crew did their part in making sure it was so. I have another music charter on the Summit next year. I bet I'm going to have a great time on that one too, right @GeorgeC? 😛 My other Celebrity sailing, BTW, was on the Summit's twin sister, the Millennium. Sorry for rambling. I just wanted to tell my story. What's yours? Thanks for sharing! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammajamma2013 Posted August 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Out of 12 cruises on 3 lines, 2 on Enchanted Princess. I prefer the smaller ships, but I go for itinerary foremost; Enchanted Princess was going where I wanted to go. We've only sailed mass market, and am now currently looking at more upscale lines, again because of itinerary Edited August 17, 2023 by mammajamma2013 Additional comment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted August 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Back when HAL was a superior line (but more important when they offered the itineraries I wanted) I tended to favor them; 3 on Noordam - 2 when she sailed round trip in the winter from Manhattan to the Caribbean, and one from Rome to Fort Lauderdale, coming home from travel in Italy; also 3 on Zuiderdam - one from Fort Lauderdale to the Eastern Caribbean, one from Fort Lauderdale to the Panama Canal, and one from Quebec to New York. The winner was 7 on QM2 - 6 trans-Atlantics coming home from the UK and one from Brooklyn to the Caribbean over Christmas/New Years (sadly depressing). Now looking at multiple sailings on Oceania ships - because they offer what cruising is meant to be - but no longer is on the mass market, bloated Walmarts of the Sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted August 17, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I sailed SS Norway 7 times including our honeymoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted August 17, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2023 We haven't cruised on any one ship many times, but several Princess ships twice, as well as a couple of the S class of Celebrity, the NCL Getaway and the Navigator of the Seas, all twice. Itinerary is the most important for us, followed by price. We've never been on a ship we hated, although our one cruise on Holland America was our least liked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted August 17, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2023 We are more free range, I guess. The only ship we've sailed on more than once is Equinox. However Celebrity it's the line that we've sailed on most. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted August 17, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2023 For number of days on a ship it would be SS Oriana at 6 months, closely followed by Viking Sun at 4 months. Max number of cruises on the same ship is probably Diamond Princess at about 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted August 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 17, 2023 We rarely repeat a ship as it happens not by any plan. We like to sail different itineraries every time and that means a different ship. I repeated the old Norwegian Star? twice maybe three times and the HAL Zaandam 2 or 3 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be interesting to find out how many times you've sailed on a particular cruise ship. We're more interested in itinerary/price in selecting a cruise than getting a specific ship. That said, most of our cruises have been on DCL, and we've been on the Magic, Wonder, Dream & Fantasy. The Wonder being the ship we've been on for the most cruises (5). Not really a fair comparison, since we like DCL and they have so many fewer ships than the other cruise lines. We've also cruised on HAL, Princess, and Carnival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted August 18, 2023 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2023 While our last time on Crown Princess was quite a while ago, I think we have done more cruises on her than any other ship. We didn't seek this particular ship. It just worked out that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenM Posted August 18, 2023 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Love a good league table 1. Celebrity Beyond 1 cruise 11 nights 2. Celebrity Reflection 1 cruise 10 nights 3. Celebrity Edge 1 Cruise 7 nights 4. Disney Wonder(I think) 1 cruise 6 nights. I honestly cant remember which Disney cruise ship i was on but it was February 2002. So Celebrity Beyond wins on goal difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked 5 times and the exact same OV cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplelife Posted August 30, 2023 #21 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Before it's retirement from Carnival's fleet, I sailed Ecstasy twice. I will be doing Paradise for the second time in January, and Elation for the second time in March. I love the smaller, older ships and want to sail them again before they are retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
