Nita,
Yes, I am lucky to have had the opportunity to have cruised so often. I took my first at 9 years old and haven't stopped since! I worked in Miami for 2 cruise lines and also as a TA for 17 years (part-time, sold cruises) so have always taken advantage of the opportunity to travel.
I have 36 cruises on RCI to date (94 total) and they are my all around favorite. I am an active person and likes lots of sports options and their ShipShape program is really good. I also love to dance and the nightlife is consistently good. I travel solo fairly often so a friendly environment is important to me.
There are only a few cruises that were really awful and those ships are retired now: Veracruz and Dolphin come to mind.
Carnival is one line I will not sail again, ever. Just not for me.
Celebrity is really nice for a low key cruise but I often get bored on their sea days and at night as the options are limited. But their ships are lovely and the service very good.
Radisson was wonderful in the Med but so expensive I could not afford it now.
NCL is also a good value for the money, especially on the newer ships. Their staff on the Sun is particularly terrific.
My next 3 cruises are booked on RCI and I love to have them to look forward to!
I am booked on a 2 night Costa cruise in Nov. but am hesitant as I know they are owned by Carnival so may not go.
My wish list includes a cruise through French Polynesia and also a12-14 day European cruise. I also would like to visit Russia.
Have a great day and "see you" on the boards!
