Doggielover68 Posted September 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love the feeling of getting away from it all. Cruising gives me the opportunity to completely "unplug" from reality, the Internet, etc and just relax. The only thing I have to worry about is what I will eat for dinner! What's your favorite thing? Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulcimergirl Posted September 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Watching the many, ever changing blue colors of the ocean. I don't care where I go, what I do, I love the ocean. HMC is awesome for ocean watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmukid87 Posted September 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Drink by a pool, in the sun, with some music, and a bunch of like-minded people, there to have a good, care-free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearabby_84 Posted September 12, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love how whatever way I look, I see beautiful ocean. I find it calming and I feel zero anxiety, which for an anxious person is pretty sweet! I also love visiting there different ports, but still coming back to the same room each night ..... Just LOVE to cruise ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMKreno Posted September 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love the idea that even if I just want to veg-out and do nothing, I am still "doing something" (ie the ship is still moving to the next port, unlike a hotel where if I just sit in the room I feel like I am wasting time/money/experiences).

Rare pyropoodle Posted September 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love almost everything (except debarkation..yuck, HATE that word) but besides the ocean views, the ports, the balcony breezes, I especially love the feeling of moving on a giant floating island. The way the boat gently bobs/sways/rocks. I just love it. I also love that after the cruise ends, I feel "land sick" for a few days as my body still bobs/sways/ and moves with the imaginary ocean. it's a wonderful feeling.

Vigorosity Posted September 12, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Practically everything! I love the choice of anything I really want to do! Trivia, hot tubs, shows, food, relaxing, dancing. I love watching the ocean from hot tubs in the aft. I love getting to know the dinner servers. I love meeting fellow, happy passengers. I love trying every drink possible. And eating pizza with new friends at 2 am. I love that damn quarter game in the casino. Always enjoy getting a towel animal. I love heading into port and going to a beach. Getting ice cream for breakfast is always a favorite! I usually love every moment...and what I don't love is typically forgotten and overshadowed by how incredibly happy and lucky I am to cruise.

lizzyplague Posted September 12, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I don't have to cook or worry about the real world. :D Nothing beats a mai-tai or a margarita on a hot day with the wind in your hair out on deck, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue91652747 Posted September 12, 2016 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I have to say E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. I especially love the time that I get to spend with my husband. That tops out my list for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted September 12, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Mine is the same thing! Escaping from reality! No internet, cellphone, news paper, etc. My only worry is to make it back on the ship before sail away! No other vacation compares in anyway! I also like standing on the front deck on the front deck of the ship at night staring off into the darkness and stars while the ocean breeze blows in my face.

*Cassie* Posted September 12, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love waking up in a new port each day with new places to explore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted September 12, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I have a hundred second favorite things but only one in first place. Taking room service coffee down to an empty deck 5 in the dark, lighting my first cigarette of the day, and watching the sun inch up over the horizon. I wait 51 weeks a year for six days of that solitary, quiet bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted September 12, 2016 #19 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I really love everything about it, especially rough weather (keeps some in their cabins :D). However, I especially love the ship itself- the largest moving creations engineered and built by man. I don't care if it's 20,000 GT or 150,000 GT, I appreciate them all, and have a great time on every one! As a pilot, perhaps I am a ship lover first, and cruise lover second? No, I think it's pretty equal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revdoll Posted September 12, 2016 #20 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love sitting on the dark balcony at night listening to the waves, it's very calming. It's even better on a cove balcony because you are a lot closer to the wave action. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted September 12, 2016 #24 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ruthless, I have done my best to adjust. Haven't yet figured out how it's for my convenience that the last cigarette of the night on my balcony bothers the people not on the empty balconies next to me, but I am loathe to ignore rules. It's a puzzlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose28651 Posted September 12, 2016 #25 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Vigorosity, you and I think alike. Heck, I went on Freedom in Dec of 14. One of the azipods wasn't working and we missed a port. Still the best vacation of my life. It would have to be something catastrophic to ruin a cruise.
