Anyone have over 30 plus cruises CCL ?

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

My DW has 20 and I have 17 with 2 booked in the next 6 months....I saw something on my last Carnival cruise about a gentleman who has taken a 3 day out of California over 80 times....Every one on the ship knows his name......Dennis

 

I think they had a picture of him in Currents magazine as I recall... either that or I linked to it from Carnival.com

 

I wonder if he sits at the same table (for dinner) each sailing... or if he prefers a more "random" table assignment. For that matter... does he sail in the same cabin each time... or just waits on standby for those last minute bargains --- speaking of which I have not seen as many of those DEEPLY discounted last minute deals - perhaps I am looking in the wrong places!

Yep..I think he went once a month...that is soo cool.

 

There is a gentleman called "Old Man Wiggle" (not being disrespectful...that is what he calls himself) that cruises out of New Orleans about once a month.

 

He is a HOOT. Mid 90's and very interesting. He does the Talent Show on every cruise...

 

BTW, that is ME in 40 years!!!!!!

Amazing!......I don't know if I would have the energy to pack and unpack that many times.....however,....cruising that many times ....would be fun :)

 

I take the same things. My "cruise clothes" are kept separate from other things in my closet and are renewed from time to time. Except for undies, it's all in one place and all goes into a 21" roll-on-board. I pack the morning I leave for the airport...takes about 1/2 hour. Usually weighs in about 40-45 pounds.

 

Takes even less time to unpack once on board. Everything stays folded and places on shelves........BAM, I'm done.

my dw could use a lesson in packing starts shopping 6 mo before cruise and then takes everything (never know what u might need)

me just a bathing suit and a s&s card, cold beer by the pool wearing a titans cap

Since for years I had to pack for FOUR :eek: I had my packing list saved on the computer listed under how long the cruise was.

 

Now that the oldest is 21...I only have to pack for THREE!! :D

I'm not up to 30 yet, but will have 27 by the end of the year. :) Question for those who have over 25, does Carnival continue to put the milestone insignia on your S&S or is it just for the actual milestone cruises (25, 50, etc.)?

[bobbyfk]

I have only been on 3:(

Yes.

 

If, for whatever reason, you need a replacement card on the ship, it won't have, or at least I've never seen a replacement card that did.

[MDR Cali Cruisers]

Yes.

Thank you. :)

Don't feel bad....we were all there at one time!!! ;)

[Captain'sgirl]

We have cruised about 36 times, but only the last three with Carnival. Ask me again in a few years. LOL

With that many cruises you have no doubt tried multiple lines. The fact that you, with that experience, have sailed with Carnival for your last three bodes well for their product. Any chance your next one is also with Carnival?

I have 23 with 3 more booked.

Only 15 for me. There is some suspicion that I drank my way thru a short cruise long, long, ago in a galaxy far, far away. So 16 is possible, but 15 is 'official.'

[Captain'sgirl]

Yes indeed. The next one is on the Carnival Pride on the 29th.

[LHP]

We love the Spirit Class ships!!!

[LHP]

Yes.

They can get you a replacement card that has the Milestone Insignia on the ship. We have had to get them there a couple of times when they did not have the correct card waiting for us in the terminal.

 

But when this has happened...I have waited until the line at the Purser's Desk slowed down...because (from what they told me) they have to go get them out of the "safe"???

[fireofficer5]

gm, so thats 8 per year.

[SavannahMoon]

Our son just turned 18 years old and just completed his 31st Carnival cruise....we have two more booked for this year.

 

According to Carnival, when he was 17 years old....he was one of six kids who were Milestone Rewards Members (25 cruises or more).

 

Not bad for a kid whose parents are not travel agents and do not work for the cruise line.....

 

:D

 

Wow, that is wonderful!!

[LHP]

Wow, that is wonderful!!

 

Cruising has been a real blessing for us. He has Autism and Carnival is so great with him that it is like he gets to be a "normal" kid for a week!!
