I have a confession.....it goes like this.....I have to have a balcony because I LOVE watching the pier runners, late people to the ship, people who miss the ship. I just had to get that out there! I feel much better now!!! :D:D:D:D

You can count me in too....especially in Cozumel

I got a balcony this cruise (upgraded for 50, couldn't pass that up) and I am kinda excited to watch pier runners in key west lol.

 

We leave at 2 and our ship is completely full! I am sure there will be a couple pier runners, hope I am not one of them lol

[cowpokes]

We had a balcony on the ill fated Triumph in February. It made the difference between awful and manageable. We will NEVER be without a balcony.

Pier running.....one of my favorite sports (to watch) :D

In Cozumel, we had another ship acrosss from us so we all came out onto our balconies and had a leaving Cozumel party. It was great!

[coyotebrian]

we saw some VERY close calls this last cruise. was a blast !!!

everyone on the balconies yelling at them to hurry the hell up lol

[FlaMilkman]

We always have a family bet as we sit on our balcony giving the pier runners their due cheer. At the ten minute mark prior to sailing we each guess a number of people that will be still running with less than 5 minutes to go (without going over). Winner selects what the losers must drink at the bar prior to dinner such as shots of jagermeister or some extremely sugary drink.

It's 50-50 at best whether you'll get the view of the pier you need from a balcony. We like to find an outer deck where you can see them coming and see them board.

[AngAndBoys]

Man! I've had quite a few balconies and never seen pier runners in 12 cruises! I'm dying to see it!

Same here.....more like pier strollers in no big rush even late. I always want the captain to go watch this strollers, pull out and make them run.

[BMurph1998]

Out of all our cruises DH & I have our first balcony coming up in February!!! Makes this cruise all the more exciting!!!

Guilty as charged. Sometimes it can be better than the ship's shows.

[sjcruiser]

Guilty, and I was just watching one of the cruise shows on the Travel Channel where the people were'nt running to catch the ship, but had to fly back to the port of embarkation, and they had several thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and electronics in their cabin :eek:. As is the situation in most cases, there were somewhere having a drink, and lost track of time

[PAPERBKWRITER]

You don't need a balcony for that. Lots of folks at the rail during every sail away.

I've never seen pier runners either. Thought we were going to in Costa Maya because the gang blank was up, but the ship wasn't moving. We were all looking over our balconies when the gang blank came back down and a crew member came out and set some luggage on the dock; five minutes later more luggage came out:confused: Ten more minutes and a couple was escorted down the gang blank by security and joined the luggage:eek::eek:. The gang blank went up and off we went. The couple was giving the ship the finger big time. Not sure what they did, but it warranted kicking them off the ship:eek:

[Elaine5715]

Seems like pier runners were more common at Cozumel when the ships docked downtown.

 

Funniest ever when we were docked downtown, with another ship across and the Coast Guard also present. All ships had folks hanging over heckling..encouraging..especially the ladies to RUN... not out of concern to make the ship leave on time..

[babyher]

Guilty myself :)

 

Great free entertainment *LOL*

[marshhawk]

I enjoy watching the runners from the back of the Fascination in Nassau. Oh Senor Frog how many folks are still under the bar when the ship pulls out? :D
