weelv2cruise Posted October 8, 2006 #26 Share Posted October 8, 2006 My hubby and I both enjoy when we arrive at port and watch most everyone looking up at the ship with total awe and saying OOOOOh, AAAAAh! Of course, we join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niwel Posted October 9, 2006 #27 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The scent of the wood near the pool. The hum of the engines. The scary toilet. And the "stay tuned for an important announcement": BINGO BINGO BINGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakalina Posted October 13, 2006 #30 Share Posted October 13, 2006 The yum yum man chiming us to dinner. The ship gently rocking us to sleep each night My fist glimpse of an ice sculpture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikielynne Posted October 16, 2006 #31 Share Posted October 16, 2006 the flush of the toilet, nothing else sounds like it. I know that airplane toilets have a similar 'suck down' style but still they don't sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathyanddick Posted October 16, 2006 #33 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hubby and I love the first early morning with coffee on our balcony, in our jammies, the sun glistening off the sea, watching us pull into our first port of call. I have done it many times and still get chills each time. kathyanddick ps..........also love the dinner chimes on Holland America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celbercrz333 Posted October 16, 2006 #34 Share Posted October 16, 2006 When we cruised on Celebrity Zenith to Bermuda, I loved watching the channel on the tv that showed the course the ship was on so we'd know how close we were getting. Also, we had an early tee time and one day so we ordered our breakfast for the next day on our tv. IT was fun deciding what to have and when to have it delivered. OK, we did so much more than watch the tv, but this thread was for what unusual things we liked to do. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdicap Posted October 29, 2006 #35 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I love the towel animals. For some reason, I cannot convince my wife to take a class on how to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailorgirlseattle Posted November 2, 2006 #42 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I love the formal nights. Seattle is a very casual town and hubby and me are especially, so I don't get to get REALLY dressed up very often. LOVE seeing all the other ladies in their pretty gowns too.

Finflapper Posted November 3, 2006 #43 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I can't believe nobody mentioned they like standing in the nude on their balcony in the middle of nowhere......naturally I'm referring to the open seas with no other ship around. Maybe everyone here travels with their kids? Mine are grown and own their own..hehehe Anyway, it's the best feeling to be one with nature:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingPreacher Posted November 3, 2006 #44 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Though I see pictures of the ship on the internet and in the cruise book, I always love the bus ride from the airport or hotel to the cruise port. My heart pounds, my eyes are scouting from one side of the bus to the other waiting to finally catch that first glimp of that huge vessel waiting to take you away from the business of life! And once I see it, it seems like the most beautiful sight in the world. My next favorite thing to look forward to is the walk from check-in to my first step on board into the atrium. I still remember all this from my first cruise and it is a memory I never want to forget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope you look UP before you do that to make sure the next level up isn't set back from YOUR balcony and you're giving away a free show!:eek: :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finflapper Posted November 5, 2006 #46 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Well, I forgot to mention...it's only at night time when everyone has turned in for the night. I'm not that brave to try it during the day...LOL! Besides, I here the ships have cameras all over the place. I guess nobody else what to fess up....lol.

WooKeef Posted November 24, 2006 #50 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I like being able to drink to excess and never being asked to drive the ship.All year long I always have to limit my partying for fear of DWI. At sea I can be rediculous. I like that twice a year. I am with you on this one. Carefree indulgence huh?! AHHH, the Martini BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help, I am in withdrawels!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
