Readers response: What is the most memorable cruise you've ever been on?

The dream holidays of many take place on the high seas, with many eager travellers keen to reflect on their favourite voyages.

We asked our readers what their most memorable cruise was, for either good or bad reasons, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what you said.

Kate Oz - European river cruise was fabulous. 

Jean Murray Cure - Coming to Australia as a migrant and a Christmas cruise to New Caledonia. Loved them both!

Carol Hanson - Christmas cruise. Fantastic atmosphere on board.

Brenda Glass Brooks - When I slipped on a wet surface and cracked my L2 excruciating pain, arrived home and ended up in hospital where I was told I also had COVID. Will never ever cruise again.

Geraldine Bayles - The Holland America, 10 day Roman Empire cruise on the Noordam 2012. Every day was an adventure! On board entertainment fantastic! Smooth sailing.

Linda Woods - NZ on Queen Elizabeth. The best ship we've been on.

Cheryl Barrett - Loved cruising from Vancouver to Alaska. It was mind blowing.

Rhonda Moffitt - 4 years ago. 1st day, ship didn't leave Port as conditions of heat & wind were severe. 2nd day, weather too severe to visit Kangaroo Island so day spent at sea. 3rd day, Port Lincoln as scheduled. 4th day, Phillip Island hit by a severe storm and spent 2 hours on tender which could not dock and offload passengers back on ship. That night Penguin Parade excursion cancelled due to bad weather.

This was my first cruise, a taster for my future retirement. Princess cruise had no offer for credits and, I know weather is unpredictable, but a totally disappointing experience.

Dianne Whitton - 2013 World Cruise on the Sea Princess. It was good. The best was 2016 Circle Pacific. Too bad Princess doesn't put it on any more.

Cheryl Quested - Windstar cruise in Tahiti was the best.

Heather Dixon - Hurricane cruise in Norway, absolutely the most stunning scenery.
