We love sailaways from the ports. There is nothing like being on the open ocean as we watch the island get smaller and smaller with a Pina Colada in hand and the sun setting :cool:

interacting with the crew and fellow cruisers

[mephistoles]

- seeing that "whale tail" for the first time and knowing that I will soon be onboard for at least 7 days of fun

- meeting the crew and new friends

- sail awayyyyyyy!!!!

[Harrier1961]

When I first get on the boat.

We have a tradition; we get on early and park ourselves in the lobby with a nice tall drink and people watch for a couple of hours.

 

Interesting seeing all of the other people come on board.

 

Matter of fact, we have a cruise in 39 days!

My first cruise isn't for another 58 days but I have a feeling my favorite part will be the part between when I get on and when I get off.:D

[FlaBubba]

My favorite part is the coming into a brand new port. And the best was Venice early in the morning.:)

[AndrewD65]

To me it's the feeling of being separated from the rest of the world and traveling to paradise.

 

Only 9 days away form that feeling...

When the ship's horn sounds at sail away. I get chills just thinking about it!

[kona_wahine]

I'd have to say pulling in to the different ports, excited for the day ahead.

[jandjtexas]

The way the water relaxes me like nothing else. I can spend hours just staring out there.

[Rena921]

Hearing that "ding" as they swipe your card for the first time. :D

[GTO-Girl]

The moment we leave the Muster Drill I know my vacation has begun and the time is now my own.....l:D

[GottaLuvCruising]

sea days

[KPfromCT]

To me, it's that first moment they "DING" your card, and you are IN!!!! Just love that feeling of being on a ship....:D:D:D Then sailaway.......It is ALL so exciting.

I would say my first favorite part would be seeing my family enjoying themselves

2nd would be sailing away

3rd would be the mustard drill being over

 

 

Ready To Go!!!!

I'd have to say waking up the first morning on the ship, getting room service, and reading the fun times planning the day. There is just something special about the first full day:D

[Ithinkimbatman]

Mine would have to be the Muster Station Drill... incredible experience to behold! :) haha

[grandmacani]

Getting on!! Just knowing I've got a great vacation ahead.

I would have to agree with you, waking up the first morning is GREAT!

Ha! We are on this same cruise. I guess at least now we'll know that we are being "watched" when we get on. lol!! ;)

[tomsuelaw]

Watching such a large ship maneuver in and out of port. I love to watch the side thruster push the ship away from the dock. Watching the harbor pilots board and debark the ship. :cool:

 

On embarkation day, I love to watch pallet upon pallet of pineapples etc get loaded into the ship knowing we will be enjoying all that yummy food that week. The amount of food is insane when you see get loaded. :p

 

Not having to plan any meals, grocery shop, or cook for the whole length of the cruise :D

 

Having my little DD beg to go visit her friends at kids club then dropping her off there with no guilt, so that me and DH can fit a nap in. ;)

 

Watching my DS with autism come alive while at sea :D:)

My family has experienced a lot of tragedy the last 3 years, especially this past year. A cruise is the only vacation that I have ever had that I can actually pretend the real world doesn't exist and I can truly relax. The anticipation of the cruise is a life-saver but when I walk out onto my balcony that first morning with coffee in hand I feel the stresses of life start to move to the background. The serenity of that beautiful blue water calms my spirit. So, I guess my answer is sitting on my balcony *sigh* just 53 more days until my next cruise :)

I love crossing the gangway for the first time and stepping across the threshold. Love that feeling that we will be away from the "real world" from that point forward.

1. Getting dinged onto the ship.

2. Ordering my 1st of many Bloody Mary's at the Lobby bar.

3. Interacting with the crew and seeing old crew that have become friends over the years.
