We are missing being on a cruise ship this year. Time to look back and see just how many cruises we have been on since I started cruising in 1994. Mr. Jones sailed on his first cruise in 1997.
In the first pass, it looks like I’ve sailed on 73 cruises for a total of 621 days at sea.
This list is a big project, and it will need to be refined. My intention is to link all other related posts to each of these cruises, to help readers find what might be helpful to their cruise travel planning.
