What about YOU?

Neat questions.

never use the cancellation policy!!:)

Same here, have never used the cancellation policy and I"m sure never will. As it stands they nearly need to pry me off the ship with a crowbar to disembark.

I could say never any bingo, but I did go once with a friend who thought she had a shot for a free cruise. At the last minute the room flooded with more players so not so much.

No water slide yet, hoping someday when it's warm enough.

No towel folding class.

No marriage game, hairy chest game, trivia, etc. Not my thing.

No shuffleboard or mini golf.

No comedy clubs so far.

No Karaoke, it makes me cringe in embarrassment for the ones who do poorly.

I always go to the production shows.

Always book at least one appointment at the spa. Getting a massage or facial at sea is so nice, it always puts me to sleep during the treatment.

We order room service at least every day.

I always go to the exercise classes & sign up for the paid ones too - especially if I find one that isn't at the crack of dawn.

Always go to the dance classes, unless it's partner or line dance.

What about YOU?

We don't cruise much for the amenities on the ship; we cruise for the sights, the ports.

I NEVER order lobster or shrimp or peas cause eating them would kill me (2 for real and the other is just down right nasty).

I ALWAYS get a daiquiri as my first drink on board cause I love them - it's my ritual.

Everything else there is to do, see, eat, etc. on a cruise - well, I just play it by ear and do, see, eat etc. what catches my goat at the time.

I never pay extra for food on a cruise ship.

We never go to the steak house.

We never use the pool or spa

We sometimes buy pictures

We sometimes buy drinks (we usually take our own)
