BallFour4 Posted October 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Being at sea. The rest here is just details. walking up that gangway and knowing I'm on vacation seeing the ship from the causeway in Galveston the service at dinner the water color the first morning the feeling of finishing a good jog on the track in the early morning hours watching those letters FUN inflate on what few ships have the original Welcome Aboard Show Cozumel and Nachi Cocom people watching on deck 5 by the casino dominoes on the lido deck by the burrito bar meeting new friends at dinner two naps on sea days watching the pilot boat NYE cruises and watching the countdown to the ships horn blaring watching the rigs on the last night at sea coming back to Galveston getting off the ship and having one more booked and the best; watching Blue Cards and their first experiences, we were all one of them once I miss the lido bands on Fantasy class ships and the Bob Marley music. .

cruznjan Posted October 27, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Watching the ship push away from the port and knowing I'm actually cruising. This fascinates me. I remember the days when ships had to pulled in and out of ports by tug boats. Edited October 27, 2016 by cruznjan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdemps Posted October 27, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We love the fact that you can just go up or down elevators to get to restaurants, bars, entertainment without having to step foot outside or drive a car. Everything is readily available at pretty much any time of day. Plus you unpack once, see 3-5 places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted October 27, 2016 #25 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have thought seriously about this question and my list has been whittled down to about 30 things. I love it all, right up to the point when they kick us off the ship. I will say leaving the future cruise desk with another cruise booked is a fine feeling.
