2 night cruise

[Drbutters56]

What is everyone's thought on the super short cruise. I know it is short and expensive, but the timing works for our family. Just want to see if anyone has any experience on the 2 night cruise. With one day on the ship, is it going to busy everywhere? This is on the Wonder, so the crowd should be better?

For us, even if the timing works, we don't see the value, and we do love short trips. But you're leaving essentially as soon as you've settled in.

If I have the opportunity and the price is good, I would do it. But the embarkation port has to be easy accessible. If I have to jump through a lot of hoops to get there, I won't.

Like a day trip to Disneyland, you know it is expensive and you won't be able to do it all, but sometimes it is the right way to spend your money and time.

I guess a 2 night cruise is better than no cruise. But I'd just be annoyed by how brief it is. We love cruising and just being on the ship rather than visiting the ports so we would take it if the price was right.

Personally for us, 2 days just isn't enough time. Really it's only a day and a half since you don't board until 11:30am-12pm. If I didn't have to take a flight to do so and it was cheap, I'd consider it if it's the only one I could do for sometime. But honestly, as soon as you're getting on, you're packing to leave. But any cruise is better than no cruise.

I would much rather go stay at a nice resort close to hone for two nights rather than a cruise. All the trouble of checking in, packing, getting on, unpacking, only two dinners, about 36 hours on the ship, then repacking and leaving…way too much for me. But we never do cruises of less than 7 days and prefer longer. I’d go to a nice hotel, with a pool and good restaurants nearby and relax with a drink.

My wife and I do seven day cruises. My reason is because anything less, as soon as you get on the ship and unpack you have to pack to get off the ship.

With that said,
have you ever been on a cruise before
where dose the cruise go
do you live close enough to the port to make it worth the trip
what do you conciser affordable or expensive
are there other cruises, at the same time , that are longer you could do for the same money
does the ship have any port stops and if so what is there to do in port

It all depends on what you feel is right for your family. Depending on price it would make a nice weekend getaway but is it worth the money vs work to get there and the boarding process, then get home.

IMHO, unless you live right by the port, it wouldn't be worth the time or effort to do a 2-night cruise.

I did a 2 night cruise back in 2012 on Magic out of NY. Just my wife and I so for us it was a nice weekend getaway. I couldn't imagine doing it with kids though, hardly any time for them to warm up to anyone in the kids clubs for them to have a really good experience.

Also did 2 night NYC Magic, back in 2012. I lived in NJ, easy commute to pier, great cruise, special to sail under the bridge and see Statue of Liberty, would do it again.

Did you do the one in June where it was freezing out on deck 9 Saturday afternoon? Then they had the pool temperature cranked up to about 98 degrees to compensate for it?

I wouldn’t do a two night cruise. You wouldn’t even get to see all the shows on a cruise that length. For me anything less than 4 isn’t worth it, even if I lived right by port. I feel you’d just start to enjoy it and bam, over.

We've only ever done a 2N cruise as part of a B2B with a 3N. We live in San Diego so it's easy for us to get to and from the port. As easy as Harbor drive can be. I don't think I would do one by itself.

4nights aren't worth it to us since they often take 5 work days off since most are monday-friday (not all though). So in that case 3 night is better for us. 2 night nope never would be.
