  • 1.  Cruising preferences

    Posted 22 days ago

    Hi all, saw a post on holiday destinations, and thought I'd ask if anyone had any Cruise destinations that they particularly liked, and why?  Med cruises are great, but in a week, you hit so many stops that its not exactly relaxing.  My fav so far was Singapore to Sydney - good stops with some down time in between.  Also, can't beat swimming with crocs, riding elephants, parachuting on the GBR and climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge.

    What do you think?

    Just searching find a breakdown of key cruising preferences in the United States highlights these trends:🚢 Top DestinationsThe Caribbean: Dominates the market, accounting for roughly 72% of U.S. cruise passengers. It is highly favored by Millennials and Gen Z for quick getaways.Alaska: The second most popular choice (attracting about 7% of cruisers), driven by its scenic beauty and popularity among older travelers, retirees, and families.Other Hotspots: Domestic coastal options like Mexican Riviera, New England/Canada (for fall foliage), and Hawaii.

    Any cruise where Jane Mcdonald isn't part of the entertainment sounds good to me.

    Hey Ritchie,

    We've only recently got back into cruising, since after doing an Alaska cruise some years ago, we agreed that the quick port turn arounds weren't for us at the time. But now we're a little older, we've just done two over the last six months, an Eastern Caribbean and a Western Caribbean cruise, but now we're just about tropical islanded out. Our bucket list trip is to the Antarctic, but we're also talking about doing other cruises outside the US, like the Viking Christmas Market cruise.

    What cruise line did you take for the Singapore to Sydney route?
