What are your favorite places to be onboard?

[gomomgo]

We're going on the Grand Princess in less than 3 weeks (!). Since this is our first cruise, we're looking for fun things to do. What are your favorite spots onboard for relaxing, entertainment, getting away from the crowds, dining...?

[Colo Cruiser]

On the balcony or the Promanade Deck. :)

The hottubs by the Oasis Bar turned into our favorite place to be this past week. It was too cold for most of the pools...

On my balcony as we sail for a port.

Oooh, goody! A positive thread! I like to sit by the piano in the atrium and do needlework, especially if the pianist is classically trained!:)

[stoneharborlady]

Lovely to sit there with a plate of shrimp and crablegs from the Caribe Cafe and watch the wake and the horizon. Pure Heaven on earth!!

On my balcony......with some cookies....a book.....and some kind of drink in my hand.:D

[bhopal21]

On my aft-facing balcony with a Bombay Sapphire and tonic.

 

That was easy!

Like ColoCruiser, on the balcony or the Promenade Deck. The sea is so relaxing to look at. Ah, my happy place. ;)

[WarEagle76]

Adults only Terrace Pool on the aft deck.

I haven't been on the Grand since it was retrofitted with MUTS but on CB this was my favorite place to spend the day and I'm sure it will be the next time I go on Grand.

 

I also LOVED the piano bar on Grand...Roger Carr was there last time and he is terrific. He was on Coral Christmas cruise 2005 also. If he is on your ship, make sure you go see him.

Adults only Terrace Pool on the aft deck.

 

 

WarEagle76, you beat me to it!! No kids! :cool:

 

I especially like to sit between the pool and the railing duing sea days watching the wake. It seems like it just you, your significant other and the water. You almost forget that there are 2,600 other people behind you! :D

[SeaTeacher]

My favorite spots are the Terrace Pool at the aft, in the atrium coffee bar, or at the pool under the glass dome. In the evenings, I often enjoy bringing a buffet plate back to the cabin with a little nosh along with a scotch and soda. Hmmmm..

We enjoy relaxing in skywalkers during the day, great views and easy access to outside also mostly quiet.

[sns1]

I agree about Skywalkers. It's a great place to sit during the day and read. We usually bring a bottle of champagne, get some OJ and make our own mimosas. It's normally quiet there and the view is outstanding.

 

Gosh, I wish I was on a cruise right now. I have to wait until next February.

The adults only pool with a drink in my hand watching off the stern of the ship at the wake!

Look who I have to share this thread with, a War Eagle and a Red Sox fan

The adults only pool with a drink in my hand watching off the stern of the ship at the wake!

 

3 weeks ago when we were on The Grand there was a mid-thirties couple with two young girls 3-4 years old that were playing all around the deck at that pool while the parents sat in the risers facing the pool totally oblivious to all the "Adults Only" signs.

Another vote for the aft pool. It's *normally* very quiet and relaxing. Also, Skywalkers during the day if you want to get indoors.

[CL-JW]

We love the Terrace Pool on the aft of the Grand Class. We also like the Promenade Bar (or Crooners depending on which Grand class you are on).

[giggster11]

Have only been on the Sapphire but being on your own balcony with a drink in hand while leaving port is definitely a favorite place to be. That and late night snacking at the buffet.

[envy4u]

This may sound corny but my favorite place on a ship is wherever the love of my life and I are. ;)

[gomomgo]

I'm writing them all down (don't have a balcony, though:( ). It sounds like even with a full ship we'll find some quiet niches to relax and enjoy the ocean. Keep 'em comin' if you want to reminisce. They all sound so soothing and romantic.

[Princess Cruiser27]

Durning the day, Aft Pools, At night Crooners :D

[Pam in CA]

My cabin or my balcony. I like to get away from the crowds.
