bananarama Posted November 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Besides eating what is your favourite activity to partcipate/watch hosted by the cruise staff? (Bingo, Quest, Belly flop, etc..) Which activity to you absolutely hate?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted November 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Recently on the Empress they had a "Pop Idol" contest which ran thru out the week and a winner was chosen on the last sea night. Fun to follow and kind of a cross between Karoke and a talent competition. There was some real talent on our ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted November 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Quest has to be the best. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzzgirl Posted November 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2004 The Quest and the Love & Marriage games were a hoot! I could do without some of the singing and dancing tribute numbers - got bored after first 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted November 10, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2004 We like to watch the karaoke, but our favorite activity isn't run by the crew - it's people watching and meeting new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellikitten Posted November 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2004 My boyfriend participated in a similar competition on our Carnival cruise, tinker. It was definitely one of the highlights! Another one of my favorite activities is taking advantage of the spa specials while we're in port. They usually have some great deals and there's always at least one port during a cruise that I am not that interested in seeing. One of my least favorite activities is anything to do with the casino. I tried gambling on my last cruise and really didn't have much fun. I am really looking forward to all the great activities on the VOS! ~elli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Posted November 10, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Love to watch the ice sculpting on the pool deck, the passenger talent shows, the art auctions, and I'm looking forward to watching "QUEST"! And I can't forget the slot machines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted November 10, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Trivia!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted November 10, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Quest is probably our favorite. I have never done anything that I hated. I just skip the things that I don't think I would enjoy. There are so many things that I want to do that I never get a chance to do them all anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knothead Posted November 10, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2004 My favorite is Sitting on the deck with the wind in my hair with my DH beside me! My least favorite is disembarkment!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morticia52 Posted November 10, 2004 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Got to be the trivia. Good tip for you all out there if you team a couple of us Brits with a couple of you Americans it works out well (we tried it on the Norwegian Crown back at the beginning of October. Bud and Jeannie - if you are out there, we miss you loads!! Can't stand the karaokee (can't spell it either!!), especially if they decide to hold it in my favourite bar.

magicolor_girl Posted November 10, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Trivia and Name That Tune! I think we won prizes at each game my friend and I participated in. And yes, while you can only have so much pointless Royal Caribbean logo stuff, it's still fun as anything to win! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingCatherine Posted November 10, 2004 #13 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I have to say that my favorite activity was the Ice Under the Big Top show on the Mariner....also discovered slot machines!! Least favorite activity on board is hands down the Muster Drill!!! I felt like a fool standing there smashed up together with everyone else in a life vest that you can barely stick your head out of! But in case of an emergency it would be my favorite thing I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilygrace Posted November 10, 2004 #14 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Definitely trivia, especially music and tv trivia. We should be opening our little RCL logo shop any time now! On our last cruise we went to the sports trivia game and we came in second (a MAJOR disappointment for DH...he's used to winning) and the prize was the waterproof wallet. Everyone on our team already had one from other contests so they left all of theirs with us. Like I said, watch for the grand opening of our logo store! I guess least favorite would have to be disembarking. It makes me so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onessa Posted November 11, 2004 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2004 My DH and I try to never miss trivia. Also like the TriBond tourneys on some cruises. BTW this spring we were on the Voyager to Canada and participated in the single lamest Trivia contest in the Schooner Lounge - way too many folks for such a small venue. Poor MC. Idiotic questions. We were VERY disappointed. Based upon some of the replies here, the trivia is important to a lot of us. This contest seemed to be an afterthought.

hstrybuf Posted November 11, 2004 #16 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I like people watching and spending time with new and old friends. Not too fond of karaoke or belly flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted November 11, 2004 #17 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Trivia for me! I do have a question: I have heard other comments about Quest, and have NO CLUE as to what it is. Could someone please explain it to me? Thanks, Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsail Posted November 11, 2004 #19 Share Posted November 11, 2004 How about watching cruisers on sea days drag pool chairs all over the ship. Some try to pick them up and find they are too heavy so they just start dragging them bumping everything in their path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Dawg Posted November 11, 2004 #20 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Your favourite cruise activity? The love, romance, & intimacy I have with my husband! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahore Posted November 11, 2004 #21 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm with the other person who doesn't know....what's Quest please:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted November 11, 2004 #22 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Quest is an adult scavenger hunt and is best experienced if you have an open mind, aren't easily embarassed, Sit in the front of the room, and don't know much more than that :) By all means go and enjoy it, but leave the kiddies in the cabin or the Adventure Ocean area! Our favorite activity used to be the trivia and name that tune contests, but as a previous poster noted, these have become quite lame on some sailings. Wish they would enhance these again and promote them as night-time entertainment. Lots of them are now offered during the day only. We like all the participation stuff, Quest, pool games (hubby does, I watch), trivia, slot and blackjack tournaments, etc. Least favorite... have to agree with the Muster Drill! Especially if you get a stinky life vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Forever Posted November 11, 2004 #23 Share Posted November 11, 2004 We like to watch the karaoke, but our favorite activity isn't run by the crew - it's people watching and meeting new people. My daughters and I love watching the Karaoke too. Meeting new people, Bingo, exploring the ship and dinners. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
