ruthie0704 Posted April 1, 2014 #226 Share Posted April 1, 2014 We are booked for a Southern Caribbean in September during full moon week! Purely coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpatterTX Posted April 21, 2014 #227 Share Posted April 21, 2014 We always try to schedule our cruise during a full moon. After we get back to our cabin in the evening we'll just stand at the railing, holding hands, looking at that beautiful moon, talking about our day and thanking God for how very blessed we are! :) LOVE this!

SpatterTX Posted April 21, 2014 #228 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Meant to add to last post that my BF booked us a Jr Suite for our first cruise. He is setting the bar high and may regret it .. LOL. After reading these posts and knowing there will be lots to see and do on the ship, I'm looking forward to the quiet times we will spend on our balcony now. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasR&H Posted May 19, 2014 #229 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Love, love, love spending the port day afternoons outside on the balcony. Fun to be had watching latecomers run to the ship! :D In Gibraltar, we had the opportunity to watch planes land on the runway. If you've been there, you know why it's a surreal/amazing sight.

swaterbury Posted May 24, 2014 #231 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Leave it to a fellow Floridian to say the fave ritual is to drink in the balcony naked!

olemissreb Posted May 31, 2014 #232 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Breakfast/coffee in the mornings. Pre-dinner drink. Afternoon drink while reading a book. Crying on my balcony on the last night as DH puts our luggage in the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christinalvt Posted June 6, 2014 #234 Share Posted June 6, 2014 My daughter calls us "Balcony Snobs"! It's true, once you've cruised with a balcony, you never go back. However, I'm not really looking forward to our upcoming cruise's balcony, its one of NCL Breakaway's notoriously TINY balconies. I've been watching the price drops so I can possibly upgrade to an Aft Balcony, which I have never experienced. Still waiting for the answer to the 'string' question....:o Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinalvt Posted June 6, 2014 #235 Share Posted June 6, 2014 BTW, here's a tip for those who don't like smoke drifting onto their balconies from neighbors. If you can, book the most forward balcony cabin, that way there is no one upwind of you. I have done this in the past and it works out well.

aburnett Posted July 28, 2014 #237 Share Posted July 28, 2014 How do you arrange for a drink on your balcony? Bloody Mary? Sounds good but don't know -- order from room service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olemissreb Posted July 28, 2014 #238 Share Posted July 28, 2014 How do you arrange for a drink on your balcony? Bloody Mary? Sounds good but don't know -- order from room service? Go to the closest bar and order one then go back to your cabin - probably the easiest and quickest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH doesn't eat them as much as I do , but it will be nice to share with him on our balcony when we first board. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynomite Posted September 7, 2014 #244 Share Posted September 7, 2014 My balcony ritual consists of sleeping outside for at least 2 nights. Thats the best sleep ever...the breeze and sea air. Also a few hours of spiritual time. Dynomite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knobcreek Posted September 8, 2014 #246 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Love love love balcony cabins no matter the location, tho I do prefer aft. I've tried many of the rituals mentioned except the nude. May need to give it a try at least once. Taking photos from aft cabins while slowly going thru Fjords of Norway absoluty breathtaking Linda Send from iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsKChicago Posted October 8, 2014 #249 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Our first cruise isn't for a couple weeks, but I'm really looking forward to the balcony. First cup of coffee and maybe a pastry in my pajamas in the morning, sunsets (and maybe a sunrise if DH talks me into waking up that early), some quiet reading time if the crowds get to be too much, and watching for marine life. Looks like it might be fun to bring some score cards and watch the neighbors, too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
