WannaCruise Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 For the fun of it, how many cruises do you have booked at once? And do your non-cruising family and friends think you're nuts? We had 5 cruises booked. Then completed Symphony and came home and booked another so back up to 5. The previous booked ones are our end of summer cruises (4 nights - Navigator and Mariner) and March break cruises (7 nights - Anthem and Harmony) for next two years with DH and our kids. Our new one is a 4 night on Brilliance OR 6 night on Adventure end of Dec with DH (most likely select the 6 night but both are booked so we have the option). And no one in our family or friends cruises like us, so they think we're nuts and don't get it and surprised we're planning so far out. But we love it...it's such a wonderful way to travel with everything there, different stops (vs all inclusive), first class entertainment, variety of food, variety of amenities and activities (cruise compass), etc etc etc. Deedeelynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently we have 3! The closest one is Anthem to Bermuda for 5 nights that leaves 4 weeks from today. We really like having them stacked up so we are always in countdown to the next one. Friends ask us "don't you get bored cruising. Dont you want to try something else?" for all of the reasons you mentioned we have everything we could want on a cruise without the hassle of having to go get it. A cruise brings it all right to us.

melski94 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 We currently have 5 (2 more this year, 2 in 2020 and 1 in 2021). Everyone laughs at me when I say I have cruises out to 2021, but when I explain I lock in my prices now and can get my money back if things change, they feel differently. Looking for a few more as I'm getting closer to diamond and trying to work out a plan that my husband will go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe01 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Got a B2B on Harmony booked for 6/30 & 7/7, so not sure whether or not that counts as 2 cruises. Nothing booked after that, just hopeful for a Freedom Class cruise soon (if only there was one in Florida or Barcelona).

Exact same with numbers and dates....and with people questioning "you have 2021 booked"? And same...after we complete our booked ones, we'll only be 15 point away from Diamond. Hmm...that's a couple cruises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew72681 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 We’re at 3 right now (Navigator, Norwegian Encore, Oasis) but am adding a fourth this weekend. Speaking of which has anyone else had trouble with the weekend call center? The staff there seems clueless to the point where they’ll argue with you about things that are clearly spelled out.

Fuzzywuzzy Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 1. We can only do one at at time as there are way too many variables in our lives to be able to plan too far ahead. That doesn't mean I don't have some future ones in mind but I don't pull the trigger until I have the last one under my belt. .

12thman Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 WOW! that's a lot of cruises planned ahead on here. I don't think it would be possible to get that much time off work. Should have been a TA, my TA seems to be going on short cruise all the time for work. One for now but planning a surprise one next year for my wife.

AGSLC5 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have a feeling that if you are a fan of this blog most likely you are a cruise addict and either Have or Try to book as many cruises as possible.. I know me personally when I log into royalcaribbean.com If I don't see a list of pending cruises I become sad. One more Note.. I currently have 326 Crown and Anchor points.. I am trying very hard to get to 340 before my birthday cruise in Jan. I am a total cruise nerd and I want that Meal with an officer on my birthday cruise lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnUK Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 We have 10 lined up at the moment, but that includes one on Viking (ocean cruise on the sister ship of the one that got into difficulties recently) and one on Celebrity. As others have said, it is so comforting to come back from a cruise and still have something to look forward to. It takes the sting out of the end of a vacation.

Sweety Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 We have 15 booked. We are going on Harmony next week. We have paid for cruises in June and July. We have a B2B2B on Mariner in August. So we will be on 5 cruises in three months. twangster, JohnUK, WannaCruise and 5 others 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
