Whats your favorite part of the Cruise

Being at sea. The rest here is just details.

• walking up that gangway and knowing I'm on vacation
  
• seeing the ship from the causeway in Galveston
  
• the service at dinner
  
• the water color the first morning
  
• the feeling of finishing a good jog on the track in the early morning hours
  
• watching those letters FUN inflate on what few ships have the original Welcome Aboard Show
  
• Cozumel and Nachi Cocom
  
• people watching on deck 5 by the casino
  
• dominoes on the lido deck by the burrito bar
  
• meeting new friends at dinner
  
• two naps on sea days
  
• watching the pilot boat
  
• NYE cruises and watching the countdown to the ships horn blaring
  
• watching the rigs on the last night at sea coming back to Galveston
  
• getting off the ship and having one more booked
  
• and the best; watching Blue Cards and their first experiences, we were all one of them once
  

I miss the lido bands on Fantasy class ships and the Bob Marley music.

Sitting at night on my balcony, hearing the waves crash against the ship and looking up into the stars. With a glass of champagne[emoji2]

Walking on and getting that first drink... also unpacking

Waiting for the boarding day to arrive, gets me excited. Thinking of the food, the fun and the family quality time we will spend.

Reading over the fun times at lunch after embarking. It then becomes real to me I'm on my cruise.

Walking on to the ship, going to my cabin to see / drop off carry on items, then heading to the atrium bar for a drink and watching the others board the ship.

I'll be doing this very thing in 3 days :D

Entertainment

The instant the muster drill is over!

Cheers and happy cruising.

Breakfast on the balcony...heavenly!

Anytime dining

Enjoying the shows and comedy club

Spending quality time with family

Kiss on the Lips

Walking into the atrium for the first time

Walking up on deck at night...daytime too.

Relaxing on our balcony at night and watching the stars

Reading a good book for an hour or two every afternoon on my balcony

Coming back to our room at night to see what towel critter our room steward made for us

The whole experience really...love, love, love cruising...just wish we could do it more often :)

The instant the muster drill is over!

 

Cheers and happy cruising.

There ya go!!! :)

The comedy club and late night pizza.

Early morning hot tubs

Watching my husband participate in EVERY contest! That's entertainment at it's finest!

Completely unplugging!

No cell phones, social media, or news. It's so refreshing.

The sea days from my lounge chair

The first sea day sailing down to the Caribbean.

Watching the ship push away from the port and knowing I'm actually cruising. This fascinates me. I remember the days when ships had to pulled in and out of ports by tug boats.

Evenings at sea, with all the activity, entertainment, and GREAT PEOPLE. ;)

"SKY"

Walking on to the ship, going to my cabin to see / drop off carry on items, then heading to the atrium bar for a drink and watching the others board the ship.

My God...get that drink before you go to your cabin. LOL

Disconnecting for society and normal everyday life at sail away. No phone, no internet, no work, no family stressing me out (besides the ones I cruise with).

Completely unplugging!

No cell phones, social media, or news. It's so refreshing.

Mine too!

When I get to go to the future cruise desk!

I like that early morning hot tub idea! Gotta try that.

We love the fact that you can just go up or down elevators to get to restaurants, bars, entertainment without having to step foot outside or drive a car. Everything is readily available at pretty much any time of day.

Plus you unpack once, see 3-5 places!

1. Walking up the gangway after check in
   
2. Opening the cabin door for the first time
   
3. Stepping onto the balcony for the first time
   
4. embarkation day lunch - (most)EVERYONE is happy at this point
   
5. Afternoon naps on sea days
   
6. Posting my first "I'm currently onboard" cruise critic post
   

Ok.. delete the last one. I disconnect when I'm onboard.

I have thought seriously about this question and my list has been whittled down to about 30 things. I love it all, right up to the point when they kick us off the ship.

I will say leaving the future cruise desk with another cruise booked is a fine feeling.
