jbmanuel Posted September 11, 2007 #177 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I like to hear the intercom (ding ding ding) or whatever sound it is , I love it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandDreamers Posted September 13, 2007 #178 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I like seeing the crew, all spic and span, wearing gloves, greeting me when I walk on the ship! They act like I am VIP and that they are happy to be at work! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Kim Posted September 13, 2007 #179 Share Posted September 13, 2007 My wife and I (for some reason) love the ladies voice on the elevator on Carnival ships. Especially when she says "Lobby", "Verandah", and "Lido". If you know what I'm talking about you know how those names are pronounced by "her." Also, love going out to our balcony on the 1st night in our robes. Nothing better. That's too funny, I love the "elevators" voice as well - all three of our cruises so far have had a lady with an Australian accent. Also lenjoy the "day of the week" carpets in the elevators! I love going out on the balcony early in the morning when we're coming into each port. ;) Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Kim Posted September 13, 2007 #180 Share Posted September 13, 2007 i love playing ding dong ditch to the cabins.that has got to be the funnest. we run down the hallways and hit everydoor, they all come out at the same time. i remeber we did it to the kids club once, and the ladie actually chased after us. and playing soccer down the halls. also i love waking up in the morning and having breakfast on deck. yay. 6 more days :) Hope I'm never on your cruise - I bet you think it's "cool" to hang out in the hallways as well!

Cruisin'Kim Posted September 13, 2007 #181 Share Posted September 13, 2007 calm down dude. i think my parents would like hearing security called on me for ding dong ditch, then other stuff, like drugs and drinking. I think your parents should leave you at home!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafitty Posted September 20, 2007 #182 Share Posted September 20, 2007 my odd favorite thing is the TOILET PAPER!! No, not the fact that it's one-ply sandpaper, but that when the roll gets changed, they fold the corners up under the dispenser to make a little triangle pull-tab. i was absolutely thrilled when i noticed it for the first time: really shows you how no detail is overlooked!!

Emmy11386 Posted September 23, 2007 #183 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I definately agree with most of the things people have posted. One additional thing that I missed so much when I got off the ship was having my favorite people only a few doors away. I went on my first cruise in June and I was immediately hooked. Anytime I needed anythig or wanted to do something all i had to do was walk a few doors down and i coud always find someone who wanted to join me in whatever adventure I had planned. I also loved the picture gallery. It was nice to look at the picture of all of us doing different things. I love the formal night pictures. I'm planng a cruise for June 08. I love planning and most of my friends are happy to let me take the reigns. Reading all of these posts gets me so excited for my next cruise!:D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All someone has to say is we want to go here. Two years out and I am on it. They just call up and ask what I have found out. The planning is half of the fun and once we have finished that destination I ask what's next. It is Christmas any time of year. In fact I agree with your entire comment.

cruisegirl1 Posted October 4, 2007 #185 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We wake up EARLY at least once during the cruise to watch the sun rise! It is beautiful. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neya Posted October 4, 2007 #186 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We love to: - That first encounter with the ship while on port. I love cruise ships they are soooo beautiful. -Unpack and find the right place for our stuff in our new "home" -Read the navigator, to see what we are going to do that day -Picking "my spot" on the ship to read a book, watch the sea go by etc... - Hear the captain announcing the weather, knots etc... (and the ding dong noise before it):) - Smiling crew makes my day, I don't feel as guilty that I am having a good time and they are working - Going to dinner and trying all kinds of different dishes (especially soups!!!) -I don't drink a lot but I love to go to occasional wine tastings, cocktails tasting whatever you call it with my husband. - I love to look down (while on the dock) the height of the ship always amazes me.

Forchunut1 Posted October 6, 2007 #187 Share Posted October 6, 2007 This is probably pretty weird, but I LIKE the crowded breakfast buffet each morning! It is fun to see everyone starting their day together before we all go off to our various activities for the day. I just enjoy watching so many people all in the same frame of mind - vacation!!!

jimdicap Posted October 7, 2007 #188 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I look forward to two things--my first cigar by the ppol, and my first frozen white russian. Prrof positive that I am on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdicap Posted October 7, 2007 #189 Share Posted October 7, 2007 To Neya: I also look forward to that first soup--especially those cold ones! Where else can I get watermelon bisque???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kescott98 Posted October 7, 2007 #190 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I love when the ships do midnight buffets--especially when they are all chocolate.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariemorgan Posted October 8, 2007 #191 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Ahhh Yes....the "BING BONG" and then the garbled voice....now that's cruising!!!! I MISS/LOVE that chime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMinx Posted October 8, 2007 #192 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm looking forward to the 'cruise ship smell' :D I don't know what it is, but there's always a certain scent on board that just says 'cruising' to me. I went into a public toilet yesterday and instantly thought to myself, it smells like a cruise ship in here LOL! Maybe it's the cleaning agent they use??

Cruz-On Posted October 9, 2007 #193 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I love sitting on the balcony at night listening to the water and feel the breeze against my face. I also love the 24 hour ice cream!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted October 9, 2007 #194 Share Posted October 9, 2007 the little noises that go over the loudspeeker right before an announcement will be made...they're different on each ship but when you get on a ship and hear that first one you know its vacation time:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanie821 Posted October 12, 2007 #195 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ahhh Yes....the "BING BONG" and then the garbled voice....now that's cruising!!!! I can get that on the New York City subway system! LOL! Just kidding... My favorite "odd" thing is feeling the rumble under my feet as the ship starts up its engines. The little girl in my head starts jumping up and down and yelling, "We're going! We're really going now!" I have got to stop giving her sugar...

neya Posted October 12, 2007 #196 Share Posted October 12, 2007 To Jimdicap: I love cold soups too :p !!!! Never tried watermelon, but I had a cold strawberry bisque on the Golden that was delicious!!!! Before cruising I would never try any "strange" dishes but now hubby and I taste everything before saying we don't want it or like it. Now I will be on the lookout for the watermelon bisque:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhealsmom Posted October 12, 2007 #197 Share Posted October 12, 2007 All this chatter is making the yearning that much worse. It's bad enough that we have recently moved to within about 6 blocks of the ships terminal here in Saint John, New Brunswick. During our spring, summer and early fall months -- we hear the horns many times each week and I must confess -- I have to go out of my way to take a walk down by the water just to see those grand ships.

vanillagurl Posted October 13, 2007 #198 Share Posted October 13, 2007 My best friend and I took a cruise a couple of years ago (with another friend of mine, and my daughter who was 2 years old at the time) and we discovered that it was a BLAST to watch the people... this year we are doing a variation of that though... we're going to try to get pictures of these weirdo's also LOL We haven't figured out yet how we're gonna do it, but we are planning on having a contest to see who can get the picture of the most odd looking person on board. (i'll be taking a picture of HER too... *grin* and she'll be in the runnin!) Is this the thing you look forward to? making fun of people? This is making me wonder what kind of juvenile names someone will come up for me or someone to take a pic of me to laugh at later just because I am not perfect like they think they are. How would you like it if someone did that to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I LOVE that first engine rumble..It means Yahoo I am on vacation! Perhaps it's true what they say about great minds:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
