Doughty3 Posted August 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Do the cabin balconys on Oceana have lights? If not, do cruisers take a small light of some sort for the table? The end of September in the Med will have dark evenings I imagine....how will I see my pre dinner drink?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can get one of those baseball caps,with holders for drinks either side,and a straw down to your mouth. Now it would work for cans, not sure if it would work with a glass of wine or g and t!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughty3 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Or along these lines perhaps I could find a luminous wine glass! Look, kind people, I am 2 weeks away from my first ever cruise and I think mild panic is setting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go enjoy-you will. When you come back let us know if you are hooked or not. One of life's small simple pleasures is sitting on your balcony,drink in hand,with or without the light on. (You could just have the light on in the cabin and the curtains pulled back) watching the sea going past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not panic. It is YOUR holiday! You have worked hard for it, You have saved hard for it!. I am 4 weeks away from my second cruise and I will have many a drink on my balcony, watching the sea, watching the land then I will get dressed and have breakfast!! :D:D Seriously now.....have a lovely time and do exactly what pleases you. We all want different experiences from our cruises, and we can have that.....thats what makes the cruising holiday wonderful. Have a great time!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great time!! :) And after breakfast Jasperado our balcony awaits and the adjoining one (I did say there were four of us) and between us we have four bottles of champers provided by pando so we are off to a good start although we thought we would keep them for the first formal night but that might already be sorted :D that's what balconies are for chilling out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted August 31, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Friends of friends of ours went on their first cruise recently. The husband told our friend that he was taking his wife - who has walking difficulties and isn't very mobile - that after great persuasion he was taking his wife on a cruise. It wasn't something he wanted and was in no way looking forward to it but he had agreed for his wife's sake. On their return he met up with our friend and couldn't stop talking about it - it was fantastic, there were so many things to do, he did some of the things on offer on the ship and went on some great excursions. His wife loved it as she was able to spend time in the spa and found lots she loved doing on board. Needless to say they will be booking another cruise as soon as they can!

That's not an excuse or a reason not to sit on a balcony.....you have obviously never holidayed on the Isle of Wight or Largs......noses blue with cold, steam coming from breath......but "you are on holiday, you will enjoy yourself, you will enjoy the good, fresh air" :D:D Ive also heard that alcohol warms you up inside...????? :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryce Posted August 31, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Or along these lines perhaps I could find a luminous wine glass!Look, kind people, I am 2 weeks away from my first ever cruise and I think mild panic is setting in. On our first cruise I was pretty negative beforehand because I thought it would be dull and the idea of being trapped on a floating hotel for two weeks wasn't for me - the deal with my wife was that if I really didn't like it after the first couple of days we'd get off at the first stop and fly back home. Well it can't have been that bad. At the end of the cruise I would have happily stayed on board for another two weeks if it had been practical. Our cruises stand out as the best holidays we've had.

kalos Posted August 31, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Look, kind people, I am 2 weeks away from my first ever cruise and I think mild panic is setting in.

Somehow the bars on the ship (when it's bucketing down with rain and dark at 7pm) seem more inviting. Off to Wales tomorrow and will be drinking wine in my fleece in the middle of nowhere with my GSD and a field of sheep; I'm going to have a glass for you [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
