Personal Choice Dining - Meeting Different People everynight 3. Snorkeling in Trunk Bay - Beautiful 4. Trivia Contests - So much fun - Won three prizes 5 Comedian shows - hilarious Bottom 5 1. Losing money in the casino 2. Sat in the back at MUTS and couldn't hear the words 3. The bar hop program was only a visor should be a t-shirt with all bars listed. 4.

Screwbit Posted June 1, 2005 #21 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Top 5: 1. Embarkation, for the anticipation of an adventure about to begin 2. The smell of the ocean from our balcony 3. The beauty of the night sky while at sea (great job on that one, God ! ) 4. Formal nights....yeah, I'm a guy, but my job doesn't require a suit and tie, and I kinda enjoy that tux (besides, it makes DW happy) 5. New friends, new places, and re-connecting with my most important friend and at the Bottom: 1. Chair hogs, and they're on every single cruise line 2. People who can't follow simple instructions, and make a comedy out of the muster drill (God forbid something necessitating one happens, for they are the ones who'll be trampling people) 3. That last night- too damn depressing 4. Packing on that last night 5. The chaos that abounds during debarkation (and why is my luggage never all in the correct color area ???)
