But I have to say you are the first person to ever say that when seeing my username. It's actually the name of the street I grew up on as a kid.

Jtm1979 Posted December 4, 2013 #1907 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Small ship, inside cabin (so very tiny!). San Juan, Cancun, Cozemel, and a private island, I believe. Brings back so many good memories........now I need to look through my photo's of the cruise.......I'd forgot about them! 1987 NCL Skyward 1988 RC Sovereign of the Seas 2004 Carnival 2006 Celebrity Infinity 2007 / 2009 Celebrity Constellation 2012 / 2013 Celebrity Equinox 2014 Celebrity Silhouette 2015 Viking Star Edited December 4, 2013 by Jtm1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsluv2cruz Posted December 7, 2013 #1908 Share Posted December 7, 2013 ;)RC- Sovereign of the Seas- back in the 90's when it was classified at that time as the largest cruise ship. Awesome first cruise experience with hubby. One of the ports was St. Thomas and still remains my most favorite port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cd24747 Posted December 9, 2013 #1909 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Holland. I think around 1989 or 1990. I was a kid with my parents. Gun control is not about guns, it's about control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCruzr Posted December 16, 2013 #1910 Share Posted December 16, 2013 You are definitely not nuts. I've cruised and traveled solo because if I didn't I wouldn't have gone on vacation. I gave up on waiting for friends who were all for it and then would back out when we had to book and put up some money. Go on your trip and enjoy....cruises are great for going solo!

Tinkerdevil Posted December 17, 2013 #1912 Share Posted December 17, 2013 My parents honeymoon was on carnivals Tropicale in 1988. They hated it. Want until my grandparents offered to take us on a cruise that we went again. It was my and my brothers first on the now defunct Viking Serenade in 1997. Will be going on my 9th next year, I'm hooked for life! Sent from my SGH-T769 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gra2172 Posted January 6, 2014 #1914 Share Posted January 6, 2014 My first was Royal Caribbeans Grandeur of the Seas in 2005. I went to Bermuda. It did not hook me, in fact I was a little disappointed. However, when I met my wife we decided to take a western Mediterranean cruise on the Norwegian Jade in 2010. That hooked us both. It started in Barcelona, went to Monaco, 3 stops in Italy and Palma de Mallorca before heading back to Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know what you were disappointed with on your first cruise and what you liked so much about your second cruise that it got you hooked.

Thanks, KK I went alone to Bermuda and didnt do anything more than a tour and walk around. So, not exactly the most exciting vacation. Word of advice to anyone taking a cruise alone, do it on a ship that caters to solo cruisers. It would be a few years until I met my wife, and then I decided to try cruising again, going to more exciting locations and doing the fun excursions, hooking me. Side note, Im not blaming anyone for my lack of enjoyment on that first cruise. Ive actually looked at that cruise and ship several times recently looking for a quick getaway. We are both more experienced cruisers now and know how to make a vacation great. Edited January 9, 2014 by gra2172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy48 Posted January 14, 2014 #1919 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My first cruise was a last minute booking on the Carnival Holiday, Spring of 1995 and I believe it was to the western Caribbean. I was hooked. Going on my 15th in May on the Radiance of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerdevil Posted January 17, 2014 #1920 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Holiday was my second. I see you will be on the same radiance sailing as me! You should come join our roll call.

ksromack Posted January 23, 2014 #1923 Share Posted January 23, 2014 My first post and it seemed appropriate that this is the thread I post in! I did some research and tried to figure out what ship my first cruise was on. I'm stumped! It was Memorial weeked, May 1986, I think. Carnival cruise line, 4 night cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas. Festivale? Help! Did it get me hooked on cruising? Yes! I did my second cruise in Nov 1988 on Chandris cruise line aboard the Galileo. 7 night cruise out of Miami to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel. Sadly my last cruise was April 1990 on Carnival's Tropicale? Or maybe Jubilee? Cruised out of San Juan Puerto Rico for 7 nights to the southern Caribbean. That was a great cruise which resulted in my first child ;) Fast forward 24 years later and I'm finally planning my 4th cruise (and my present husband's FIRST). Kids are grown and I can afford nice vacations again. We are planning on a spring 2015 European cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
