georgiaguy Posted April 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just a curiosity thread. What is your favorite special thing to do when you cruise? Maybe it is something the cruiseline does or maybe it is something you like to make a special moment for yourself and/or significant other?

dkjretired Posted April 13, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just a curiosity thread. What is your favorite special thing to do when you cruise? Maybe it is something the cruiseline does or maybe it is something you like to make a special moment for yourself and/or significant other? My favorite thing is laying in the Solarium all day. My usual routine will be grab a swim every couple of hours but mostly do nothing but eat, drink and listen to my Playlists. I have music going back to the 60s and also have old time radio shows from the 30s and 40s. Many of these include the commercials from then, want to buy some War Bonds or you should hear all about the benefits of smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted April 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2017 lay in the sun on all my favorite beaches in the islands and on sea days finding my "spot" to park my tush at the pool and lay in the sun all day with a cold beer in my hand. Nothing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocobakerchica Posted April 13, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Getting to eat meals and drink cocktails I didn't prepare and I don't have to clean up anything(I'm a professional baker/pastry chef, and work with a rum distillery)every day, and watching the sun rise while drinking coffee(or tea) on the top deck(or our balcony)every morning...and I don't have to go to work afterwards.

casper106 Posted April 14, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Spending the evening after dinner sitting on a chair by the grass on the top deck at the back of the ship. It's quiet and easy to forget about all the other people below you. Warm winds and a great view of the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted April 14, 2017 #21 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My favorite thing is the cruise itself. I love a cruise vacation. Going to different places, sitting on my balcony watching the water, the entertainment, the food, just the whole experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rain_bowbrite Posted April 14, 2017 #22 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) favorite personal special thing: Waking up super early the first morning (like 5am, I know I'm a weirdo...lol) throwing on some clothes and touring the whole ship. I love how quiet and peaceful it is. It's one of the best times for getting ship pictures if you enjoy that sort of thing. There usually aren't many other folks walking around and you get to observe the crew starting and prepping for the day. I eventually grab a coffee in the lido buffet and watch the sunrise up on the upper decks. favorite special thing with significant other: First breakfast on sea days in the room or out on the balcony - which consist of room service coffee, croissant and smoked salmon. Yes, I said first breakfast...lol. We typically have a second (later) breakfast in cafe on sea days. :-) favorite overall special thing: Ultimate relaxation. As others have stated, not having to cook, clean, etc. is so awesome. We also purposefully don't purchase an internet package or add international to our cell phones so we can completely disconnect and relax - device free (although I do bring my Kindle for reading). Haven't managed to be able to disconnect and relax in the same way on any land vacation... Edited April 14, 2017 by rain_bowbrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaguy Posted April 14, 2017 Author #23 Share Posted April 14, 2017 This is great. I think my favorite thing is finding a nice quiet spot at sunset and watching the sun go down over the horizon. Been one of my favorites since I worked on the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted April 15, 2017 #24 Share Posted April 15, 2017 After having a wonderful day at sea or in port, I absolutely love the feeling of coming back to the cabin late at night and find it tidy and dimly-lit, with sheets turned down and the dailies on the bed. We are happily tired and often enjoy a glass of wine while going over the events in the dailies for the following day, each making our plans. We then sit on the balcony with our wine and laugh and talk about highlights of the day and feel very lucky that we can cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadesofgrey Posted April 15, 2017 #25 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sitting on my balcony reading (preferably in the shade; I've had some skin cancer) and looking up to see miles of ocean while the h can go all over and talk to people. I know he can't go too far--he can't swim! When we took our 20-something kids, I think my favorite thing was the leisurely family dinner every night.
