What are the pros and cons of taking the same cruise twice? We were on the Valor last year and we're planing our next one now.

Hmmm... good question.
Pro:
You know your way around the ship already.
You know exactly what to expect during your cruise vacation.
You know the best places to go for relaxing, or gambling, or viewing the shows.
Con:
It's the same exact ship again.
The big production shows are the same as your last cruise.
That's all I could think of.

Pros: You know itinerary, the layout of the ship, the excursions, the crew.
Cons: You know itinerary, the layout of the ship, the excursion, the crew.
Sometimes the known can be very freeing and relaxing, no surprises,while the unknown can be very exciting and energizing. It all depends on what you're in the mood for.

I was on the Princess Grand 3 years in a row! I love already knowing my way around the ship and I don't care at all that it went to the same ports since I happened to love the itinerary. I don't really go to the shows, so that wasn't a problem for me, and like jetblue said....you know where all the hidey holes are to rest and relax and know where all the good slots machines are! :lol

Pros:
You are on a CRUISE for cryin' out loud!
You get to try those other excursions that sounded pretty good last time, but got voted down.
You can explore totally different areas/attractions/shops in the ports of call.
You know enough about the ports already so you feel more self-confident.
You have a list of "don't need to do THAT agains" from the last one, so you have more positive experiences.
Cons:
The repeat show thing - although we found several "repeat" shows across different ships across several years. I think they rotate these through the fleet (At least Carnival seems to), so you could get a repeat show regardless.
The toilet flushing thing has lost its charm.
The Captain might remember that you were the one who sat in the front row at the Gala Reception and hollered "PIRATES!!!" when he was introducing the Security Officer.
The Piano Bar guy still only knows the same 7,284 songs.
There will be confusion when you tell the bartender "the usual", and he asks "from which cruise?"
You will STILL pack twice as much as you need, although you told yourself you had learned your lesson last time.
... did I miss anything?

Those are all good. I like the idea of knowing our way around but at times that's half the fun. The ports are something that's just o.k. with me. They could go around in a circle and I wouldn't care. As for the crew, that's one reason I would go back!
