Have you gone on a cruise? And if so....

...what was the longest cruise you ever took?

I'm looking at the Holland-America cruises for 2007, and I notice their Grand World Cruise (105 days) is only $33K for the largest staterooms. I remember looking at the brochure for that same cruise back in '93-94 and it was like $80K.

Anyone ever taken a world cruise?

And before anyone says "I wouldn't want to be on a ship that long"... the cruise is riddled with overland tours off-ship, in tons of countries. You're off the ship a lot in that time.

Check it out...

I'm too scared to go on a cruise because of the way viruses and shit stick around on boats. :/

Actually i remember reading about world cruises costing about 80k as well. By comparison is makes the 33k seem reasonable.
Given the chance, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I went on a booze cruise with my karate group years ago and ended up puking on myself.
Went on a cruise round the Greek Islands few years back too..that was fun.

I can imagine. That's another cruise I've closely looked at.

What about 2-3 weeks?

And as I said, you're not on board the whole time.

Wow that would be amazing. I just did my first cruise last month (7 days). Already booked another 7 day for next year I loved it.

At this point in my life I could never be gone that long for a world wide tour. To many business and family obligations but hell if I didn't have those I would be all for it.

Where to?

Hitting a few ports in the Caribbean then through the Panama Canal and up the coast of Mexico would be a great cruise.

And that one that goes up the Amazon river would be quite the experience.

Western Caribbean. Bahamas, Grand Caymans (loved that), and Costa Maya out of Ft Ldl.

January 07 we are doing the Caymans again, Jamaicca, and Cozumel out of Miami.

I would love to do the Panama canal as well. 08 we are going to shoot for a more extensive cruise.

Ive done 3 short cruises all about 10 days and that was long enough for me. The $33K is a good price but check out their tips rules if its 105 days long expect to pay $10,500 worth of tips out !!!!!!!!

that would be awesome. i would see if you can take the same ship on a short cruise first though. who wants to get stuck on a ship for 100 days thats anything less than perfect?

I took a 3 day cruise once. It was a blast.

While a world cruise would be unforgetable, I couldnt be away for that long, I would spend too much time worrying about what was going to hell while I was off having fun.

1) You better hope the chef is good
2) You better hope a hip hop band doesn't take the room beside or above yours
3) You better be sure you can get wireless access
4) You better be sure to get medical coverage
5) You better be sure you love whomever goes with you

Besides those concerns, I'm sure it would be the trip of a lifetime! I'd do it.

I would think the people who take that kind of cruise wouldn't have a problem tipping well for world-class 5-star service.

I would think the cruise line is smart enough to pre-plan to prevent such annoyances from occuring.

Agreed in full on that. What a nightmare it would be to find out in week 2 that your girlfriend is really a total bitch/shrew/harpie who won't shut up about the least little thing, and have to face the remainder of the 105 days together. You'd have to sit by and watch upwards of $50k-$60K total being flushed down the toilet.

Too long away from home for me (I'm a homebody). I've been on a 7 day cruise and could possibly take a 14 day one, but that would be my personal limit. Looks like a GREAT deal though!!
