...and sailed between Giglio and the It. mainland.

Due to flagrant abuse while ashore, I may have forgotten a few....

probably 75-80....

edit to add....above is way low.....37 ports in 2011 & ~ 32 other cruises....

i assume that the count is for ports on cruises & doesn't include the ones visited from the land side....

edit again....i'm pretty sure its north of 150...not sure about antarctic count, but i guess if you go ashore, it should count....

Worked on ships for about 5 years.. All home ported out of the US, 6-8month contracts, typically 3/4day or 4/5/5day cycles.

Seen Nassau too many times...


As a paying passenger (not a lot thanks to CAS) I've done a couple this year and heading to Venice with NCL later this year.

Not nearly as much as high mileage cruisers. We met a lady on Princess in 2006 with over 500 days, and she was only in her 40's at the time LOL.

I grew up in a shipping family so was not uncommon as a child to be told to:

a) pick that up off the deck
b) take that into the galley
c) steady the buffs aka settle down (as in fighting)

and my personal favourite:

d) "I sailed up and down the China Coast for 3 years & never heard anything like it" (with reference to language used in conjunction with c) above. :cool:

Aruba
St. Maarten
Martinique
St. Thomas
Barbados
Curacao
Caracas
St. Kitts
Grenada
St. Lucia
San Juan
Nassau/Bahamas
San Blas Islands
Antigua
Skagway

Ketchican
And more that I can't remember

Apparently I'm around 98 days (according to Princess, which all my cruises have been on). I think that number is a couple days off, because I think they gave us full credit for the aborted Crown Princess cruise that listed. I had a fair number of cruises before ever repeating a port, so there's a lot of variety as a result.

Hmm, including the starting/ending ports, for me:

1) New York (start)
2) St. Thomas
3) Grand Turk
4) Ocho Rios
5) Grand Cayman
6) Port Canaveral
7) Galveston (start)
8) Roatan
9) Belize
10) Costa Maya
11) Cozumel
12) Athens (start)
13) Istanbul
14) Canakkale
15) Santorini
16) Malta
17) Sorento
18) Rome
19) Portofino
20) Barcelona (probably doesn't count, port to airport only)
21) San Juan (start/end)
22) Barbados
23) St. Lucia
24) Antigua
25) Tortola
26) Long Beach (start)
27) Huatulco
28) Puerto Quetzo, Guatemala
29) Puerto Corinto, Nicaragua
30) Puntarenas, Costa Rica
31) Panama Canal
32) Catagena
33) Aruba
34) Ft. Lauderdale (start and end multiple times)
35) Vancouver (start)
36) Ketchikan

39) Whittier (end)
40) Manaus
41) Parintins
42) Boca da Valeria
43) Santarem
44) Ile Royale (billed as Devils Island, but you don't really visit that)
45) Port of Spain, Trinidad
46) St. Maarten (was supposed to be a different port)
47) Princess Cays
48) Rio de Janeiro (start)
49) Montevideo
50) Buenos Aires
