FManke 1,616 Report post Posted June 27 What are your Bucket List cruises? If there isn't one out there already, make one up. I know we would have to switch cruise companies to do it, but my wife and I would love to take an ocean/river cruise combo in Europe. 1 ChessE4 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChessE4 473 Report post Posted June 27 For me it is sailing from Hawaii to NZ via the south sea islands. I think RCI has something that is an 18 night relocation or something. 3 1 MaryS, l9dance, FManke and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtread 176 Report post Posted June 27 Well, I thought we had booked our bucket list cruise a few months ago when my wife said she wanted to see the Hawaiian Islands. So I made it happen for this August. Then......friends enlisted us into a Greek Isles cruise for next June. Is it ok to have two buckets on your list? 3 Janie Conroy, Bob_KY and FManke reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going to take it easy on the other port days, too much running around last cruise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not enough energy OR money to do that. Probably get some good R&R on the balcony! 1 FManke reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScooterScott22 136 Report post Posted June 27 Great topic. Unfortunately for me there is not one solid answer. If I had to select one itinerary it would be Galapagos. I have too many cruise “things” I would like to do. Here are a few of the items I want to check off or have completed. - cross Arctic Circle - done - transit Panama Canal - done - Trans- Atlantic - fall 2019 - Trans- Pacific/Dateline - booked Spring 2021 - Cross Equator - Antarctica 1 2 FManke, Skid and ThyriC reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJK 17 Report post Posted June 27 Christmas Market Cruise on the Danube River. I have always wanted to see Vienna, Prague, and Budapest and think cruise is the best way. Christmas Market cruise just for the weather and festivity of the season, not that I want to buy that much. Our first ever cruise is next Dec but just FLL to Cozumel and back, just to see how we like cruising. I have been told many times that once you cruise you're hooked for life. 1 FManke reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnK6404 599 Report post Posted June 27 Sorry! I have a few, not necessarily in order: (1) Alaskan cruise tour... the whole package... glass roof train, Denali, etc... maybe 14+ nights. (2) Just any nice B2B (14-nights or longer) (3) Mediterranean cruise (more Italy, Greece) (4) Hawaiian cruise (5) Asia (focused more on Japan and historical ports, not major modern cities) .... one day.... 😎 2 1 FManke, Skid and RWDW1204 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhageerah 329 Report post Posted June 27 I know that this would take quite a bit of cash as well as quite a bit of suitcases, but I would love to do the 10 day Hawaiian island cruise and then get off of the ship in British Columbia as it switches gears and then heads up to Alaska for 10-14 days! I have already priced it, and it will happen after I retire in about 6 years! I think that it would be absolutely AMAZING! 5 KristiZ, Baked Alaska, JohnK6404 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the reasons being that dollar for dollar, it is most likely the best vacation value. And as much as people talk about the recent nickel and diming, our experience has been that cruising now is less than it was 10 years ago. 1 FManke reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
