Wonky Posted October 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Having been surprised last month at the world club party at someone having been on board 2732 nights, I was further staggered this cruise by a couple having 3011 nights on board including 22 world cruises! Thought it might be fun to add most nights at club world parties as we attend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A WC party I attended had someone with thousands of nights who had started on the first Caronia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david,Mississauga Posted October 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Only once were we on board when someone exceeded 3,000 nights. It was on a cruise to Norway on the QE in 2013. I forget the exact number of nights but a rough calculation was nine years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that’s something! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggielou362 Posted October 22, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Would that green one be the Mauritania perhaps? I'm sure someone here knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggielou362 Posted October 22, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Oh, I see, I didn't know there were two ships called Caronia. I am learning so much from this board, thanks everyone 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last major Cunard liner equipped with reciprocating steam engines (unlike her turbine-powered sister, Carmania, famous for sinking, as an auxiliary merchant cruiser, SMS Cap Trafalgar in an epic battle in 1914). RMS Caronia (1947-1967 [with Cunard], broken up 1974). The first Cunarder to sport the green cruise ship livery. MS Caronia (ex-Vistafjord, 1973-2017; with Cunard 1983-2004 [as Caronia since 1999]). Below are photos of each. (No doubt in my mind which one is the best-looking, even in black-and-white.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasickphil Posted October 23, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Got off Queen Elizabeth this morning and the person with the most number of nights had done over 3,000 but I can’t remember exactly how many it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately now sitting in Barcelona Airport with a near 3 hour delay, meaning we miss our connecting flight back to Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
