Poll Results: Best Cruise Lines and Destinations
Category: Uncategorized
October 7, 2024 — The votes are in – thank you everyone who took a moment to add your voice! There are several interesting conclusions we can make from the two separate polls we recently conducted, one on your favorite cruise destinations, and the other your pick for the cruise line to get you there. We will detail those results, along with interesting comments, below.
Best Cruise Destinations
We listed 13 possible destinations for you to pick your favorite – either where you’ve been or want to visit. Other was another option. What we found out is there are a lot of great places to go on a cruise! When it comes to your favorites, a whole bunch of places clustered at the top. If you add all of the possible river cruises we listed, those would be the favorites, getting about 18% of the votes. Those ranged included the Rhine, Danube, other river or barge trip in Europe, plus Mississippi in the U.S. Following those was a close virtual tie for second among Scandinavia/Iceland and Alaska. Australia/New Zealand and South America/Iceland were close behind. Asia came in last place. While the number of votes cast on this poll were disappointing (gentle nudge), we feel like the results are probably pretty reasonable.

This just in. Cruises must be very popular right now, because we read this today from the WSJ : "Norwegian Cruise jumped nearly 11% while Carnival rose 7% and Royal Caribbean picked up 5.3%." Apparently strong pricing is behind the increases.

Holland America Line is the correct name (not American).

My favorite things about cruises are that you mostly travel while you sleep in the same bed every night. Unpack once instead of multiple times. It is a very relaxing mode of travel.

Here is another cruise line to consider. American Cruise Lines operates small ships with a capacity of 130 passengers. One goes on a 16 day cruise that starts in Amelia Island at the top of Florida's northern Atlantic coast. Then it heads south with stops along the way including Key Biscayne, Key West, and Marco Island. it ends up in St. Petersburg on the Gulf of Mexico. The company also offers cruises in Alaska, the Mississippi, and other interesting areas.
