Yes, no time would pass for you. That's difficult to describe for even for me to understand...technically time dilation becomes infinite and you would perceive arriving at your destination instaneously. But then again, since you are arriving instantaeously, how do you know to stop? How would you slow down? You would travel forever instantaneously to your perception...unless your ship hits some medium and slows down, you basically will percieve travelling for an eternity to infinity instantly.
But this is academic as it would take all the energy and matter in the Universe to even approach the speed of light. It's impossible to accelerate any mass to the speeed of light.
