DaCruzNut Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 It doesn't qualify as a 'real' cruise, but I just booked a one-day 'cruise on SeaEscape, with a bunch of friends, for March 19th. At 15,400 grt, and hlding 975 passengers, the ship is tiny, compared to today's giants. It'll be a nice practice run for my Fascination cruise, two weeks later.

Joanandjoe Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Jeff, it "counts" as a cruise if it's overnight, not if it's just a day trip. In 1973 we had a one night cruise, from Miami to Freeport, on the M.SW. Freeport. That, rather than our Alaska cruise in 1998, was our first cruise. Will you be cruising overnight or just day tripping? In either case, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'm kind of interested in the west coast Princess repositioning cruises. In the span of about 8 days, I can take 3 different ships. Take one from Vancouver to LA, fly up to Seattle and take another overnight to Vancouver, then a day or 2 later, take another on to LA. My wife thinks thats too much work for what amounts to 7 days. I told her it's the cruising equivalent of an airline frequent flyer milage run. This would still count as 3 Princess cruises, and get us to Platinum status in the Captains Circle. I just wish Princess had these type of cruises on the east coast, but since they have no Canadian base on the east to make short cruises possible, it won't happen.

Joanandjoe Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 We agree with your wife. One cruises to relax (and to avoid having to pack and unpack). That sounds like work, not relaxation, especially if you live on the East coast and have to fly to the West. Not for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbrat33 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yes, it counts as a cruise. Have a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchstickxx Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 You're not at work, you're not cooking, you're on the water...it counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCruzNut Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I tend to agree with J&J... if it's not overnight, and it's not, it doesn't really count...I'm still going to count the Fascination as my 60th.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
