Catrin Posted April 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just for fun, dreaming of our next cruise... What is your favorite People Watching activity? The one that comes to mind for us, is the very first afternoon. After our Lido Lunch, and before our cabin is ready... we love to watch the newbies arrive on the Lido Deck... in awe of everything.... Then>> watch them gladly accept a Drink of the Day from one of the Bar Servers! Then>> watch them look at each other when they realize those drinks are NOT FREE and the Waiter wants their newly acquired Sail and Sign Card! Welcome to Cruising! :) Catrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhale Posted April 19, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I like to sit at the lobby bar and watch the first timers walk onto the ship at embarkation. Then at night, the disco. I've always said it's the best unplanned show on the ship. Had to edit to add the pier runners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrin Posted April 19, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Mine is watching the pier runners in Cozumel. Absolutely! Especially for those ships who leave Cozumel late at night. It is amazing what a night at Carlos and Charlies can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulledporky Posted April 19, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Watching down on the Lido Deck when pulling out of port. Party Central. Also like hanging at Captain Tony's in Cabo with a bucket of beers and a plate of fish tacos. Almost everyone from the ships walk by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted April 19, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I love sitting in the Atrium bar area - pre-dinner - get to see lots of 'interesting' outfits and people (like the lady wearing a fur wrap on my last CARIBBEAN CRUISE!!!).....and sometimes the music is nice to listen to as well! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanaimobound Posted April 19, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Of course after embarkation on Lido, and love sitting on promenade deck watching people pass by, and any lounge with karaoke or entertainment, and of course deck party night!

lillian marie Posted April 19, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2011 We enjoy watching folks run late to ship on port days. On one cruise 2 people didn't make it. No one should be late getting back on board if they just wear a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Cruising! :) Catrin I was one of those newbies once, and you just totally described me. My first cruise was on Ecstasy, which was even then a small ship by today's standards, and I was in awe of the ship, mainly because of the "old vegas" decor. Then I gladly accepted that "Welcome aboard" drink and was shocked when I had to pay for it. Even worse, I kept getting more and paying more for the souvenir cups not knowing I could get much cheaper drinks. This was before I ever knew about Cruise Critic, and now I know better. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Mach* Posted April 19, 2011 #13 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I love watching the passengers in the main lounge for bingo. I don't play bingo but I love watching the folks! They really get into it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanhawk Posted April 19, 2011 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I like to sit on the Lido Deck, and am fascinated seeing how some people can pile soooo much food on their plates/trays at the butt-fey!;). It's a great place for people watching.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. Advisor King Posted April 19, 2011 #19 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Poolside. Hot weather. Need I say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted April 19, 2011 #20 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I love to watch those folks who are running down the pier, getting back late to the ship, and also those who are blissfully unaware that they are late, and are just strolling along until the ship's horn sounds, and they get the idea and start moving...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsHeart Posted April 19, 2011 #21 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Poolside. Hot weather. Need I say more? Ewww-- no thanks! Speedos should be against the law. Just sayin':p I love watching people and how they interact with one another. I could be having the WORST day, however, when I see an old couple walking by and holding hands, rays of sunlight just suddenly appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted April 19, 2011 #22 Share Posted April 19, 2011 We enjoy sitting on the promenade on the comfy couches in the evenings. Watching everyone all dressed up and then a little later in the night, watch them stumbling down the corridor, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching everyone all dressed up and then a little later in the night, watch them stumbling down the corridor, lol. The most fun I ever had people watching was one night when the seas were a tad on the rough side, I sat at the end of a corridor and watched all the people coming out of the show. First they zigged right, then they zagged left, then they zigged right....It was absolutely hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolimont Posted April 19, 2011 #25 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I usually wake up early--even when I go to bed late--and I like to go to the Lido deck, get a cup of coffee and walk around outside. I often find people in deep though and contemplation and/or staff doing their work. That's the one part of a cruise that I find 100% genuine.
