This will be for the first time going on a cruise with the same ship for the second time . In the past its always been a different ship for each cruise. Are you still excited when you embark on the ship . You will be seeing the same thing as before. Luckly the westerdam has been refurished so it will be as if I am seeing it for the first time .
For those who as been on the same ship a number of times, Is the thrill still there!!!!!

Asolutely!!

One thing for us -- each cruise we have at least one new port.

Another thing -- we rarely have had the same captain, HM or CD when we cruise on the same ship several times.

I have been on the Explorer out of Bayonne a number of times because I live in NJ and just like the convenience. It's usually just for relaxation and to recharge and I try to see something different on every island every time even though it's always the same itinerary. But just the excitement of being on vacation is great. And every time is like the first time.

We were on one ship six times! While things were familiar, they always seemed somewhat different.

Yes, the thrill was still there!

Agree 100 percent! This will be my 2nd cruise on the Zuiderdam. Just as excited as the 1st time

We recently sailed not only on the same ship as once before, but even in the same cabin! Different ports, though. It was still exciting! Even seeing a couple of the same shows was fine -- they were good both the first and second times.

Just for fun last night -- long wait for fottball to end and the Amazing Race to come on -- I went through our cruises.

51 cruises on HAL alone

18 different captains

24 different hotel managers

26 different cruise directors

I guess you don't like football. I have to fight with my better half on Sundays and mondays.
I get sunday and she gets monday.

Neither of us are football fans.

DH doesn't dare watch the Steelers anymore -- the stupid moves they do upset him too much and his blood pressure soars.
