tarajean1962 Posted December 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2013 :D We love a daily swim in the solarium followed by a nice soak in the hot tub! A close second is eating breakfast on the balcony! Tara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted December 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Best thing is just before we board - walking up the gangway, singing "Happy days are here again" and taking photographs as we go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted December 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2013 We love everything about cruising. But, 2 things come to mind: 1-sitting on a balcony with a glass of wine watching the waves go by; 2-people watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treborrv Posted December 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2013 During the day, I like grabbing a coffee or a beer and just wandering the ship. I check out the artwork, go into the promenade stores and browse, look at the books in the library, check out the solarium and pool deck, wander around the casino (and maybe lose a few bucks)...my wife usually sunbathes while I do all this. At night, I'm a karaoke junkie. Love doing that and then hitting the English pub for a beer and grabbing a couple of slices of pizza. Finally, at least once or twice a cruise, I go up on the pool deck late late at night (1-2am) and look up at the stars or out on the horizon for other cruise ships.

Tara I don't have a single favorite, but I remember from my last Allure review that you are going on her soon. I had some favorites that apply specifically to that ship. 1. The Famous Roast beef sandwich as a hold over before a late dining time, they serve them up till around 5pm. Breakfast eaten here in the outdoor area on a nice morning. 2. Breakfast at Johnny Rocket's also sitting outside. 3. Walking the upper deck for the view on and off the ship. 4. Candy Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamaCama Posted December 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sitting on any deck reading a good book with the sound of the ocean in the background during the day. Gambling in the casino at night (it's the only time we gamble... on a cruise... and we love it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted December 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I love relaxing by the pool...enjoying a frozen beverage. I also love mornings on the balcony, sipping coffee and watching the waves too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted December 9, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sitting on the balcony at night with a glass of wine, listening to the ship slide through the water, watching the lights from an island out on the horizon and knowing that by the time I wake the next morning, I will be enjoying a beautiful port, or experiencing something new and exciting.... right after eating a wonderful breakfast that someone else prepared and cleaned up for me.

iloverags2 Posted December 9, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hey stranger! Good to see you again! :) Hmmmmm, I think it depends on which ship I am sailing. Overall I love to sit on the verandah and just take in the fresh salt air and beautiful view of the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackietex Posted December 10, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I love, love, love to lie on the bed with the balcony door open and read on my Kindle, then ease into a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea 4Ever Posted December 10, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Definitely the goosebumps I get while walking up the gangway and then my DH and I turning to each other and saying " honey I'm home" lol. We love getting up around 630 grabbing a quick breakfast in the WJ and laying in the solarium till around 7 at night! Nothing beats a frozen tropical drink and the newest James Patterson book while hearing the band play a lil bob Marley. Not to sound cheesey but that's why for us it's like no vacation on earth.

springfire Posted December 10, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Love the anticipation leading up to our cruise. Everyone on a cruise is in such a good mood, makes for such a great vacation. I love exploring the ship, the meals, activities, music, drinks everywhere, pool and of course the casino. It is also a very romantic place.

sleepless Posted December 10, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I love sitting on my balcony first thing in the morning. walking through a quiet ship, with my first cup of coffee, and seeing nothing but ocean, while the ship starts to come alive. waking up very early in the morning to catch a sunrise. taking a good book up to the pool deck, finding a lounge chair with an ocean view. I then rotate between reading, and relaxing in the hot tub. watching the sea go by, from my balcony, before dinner. having dinner in the main dining room, then enjoying the nights scheduled entertainment. Every night is date night. walking along an outside deck, with my sweetie, gazing at the stars midnight snacks standing on my deck, right before bed, and gazing at the stars reading in bed, for about 1l2 hour, with the balcony door open, with the ocean sounds in the background. Repeat the next day. Also: no cell phones, no TV, no internet, no cooking, cleaning, or making the bed.

Dawniepoo Posted December 10, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I love sitting at the bar solving sudoku puzzles. The more I drink, the longer it takes me to solve them. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddcan Posted December 10, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Love lots of things about cruising, but I have to say that the MOST exciting thing for us is eating lunch in the WJ on embarkation day! Sounds odd, I know, but it's got more to do with the excitement of the next few days that it has to to with the WJ itself, or lunch itself. Just sitting there from Noon until 1pm until the cabin hallway doors are open - talking about the upcoming week. That is pure excitment and my favourite part of the cruise. Once that is out of the way, I also love: Sitting on the balcony, perhaps even taking a 20 min nap out there Freedom Class cantilevered hot tubs in the Solarium. LOVE those! Labadee - anything to do with Haiti, and I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allennn Posted December 10, 2013 #25 Share Posted December 10, 2013 For me it's the solarium. Love everything about it. In fact I'm sitting at the solarium bar right now surfing the internet while drinking Mai tais. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
