Finbar127 Posted December 20, 2011 #51 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I love spending the day with no electronics attached to my belt and only a SeaPass card in my pocket. I love the fact that no one can get in touch with me for a week (or longer :)). I love the completely relaxed state of mind I attain after about an hour onboard.

tnt10 Posted December 20, 2011 #53 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I love the fresh, cut up fruit in the WJ. I appreciate not having to make reservations for dinner. I love sitting alone on the balconey on "sea days", watching the Sea. I still get excited when I see the first of the "Flying Fish" as we venture into warmer waters. I love planning the next cruise! Go with a positive attitude, and you'll have a wonderful time! Happy Cruising, TnT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Bone2012 Posted December 20, 2011 Author #54 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I love sitting alone on the balcony on "sea days", watching the Sea. This is our first cruise with a balcony (an aft balcony (9692) on Mariner), so I am definitely looking forward to relaxing with an ice cold beverage while watching the wake. From what I have read, the aft balcony's are about twice as large as the side balcony's, and actually have 2 lounges on them. I'll report back in a month!

lgonquin Posted December 20, 2011 #55 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Welcome to the internet! Read each post and weigh its merits and after awhile hear you will learn to avoid the threads that you know will be negative or start a debate. There is plenty of positive here. Serve me a cold steak on my balcony next to a chain smoker and I'll be happy to be on a cruise and not being a slave to my Fortune 50 soul sucking employer That is classic. Made me laugh and appreciate. Well said. Sent from my ATRIX using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COMBOY Posted December 20, 2011 #57 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I loved going out on the promenade deck and looking over the side and seeing the ocean glide by the ship. I loved eating dinner in the three story dining room with the string quartet playing soft music. I loved sitting in the jacuzzi and having the waiter bring me my favorite cocktail.

Canusa02 Posted December 20, 2011 #58 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Above all, I love that when I tried to think of 3 things I loved, that I couldn't narrow it down to below 10 things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzin lady Posted December 20, 2011 #59 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Even though we usually sail RC, we decided we wanted to drive to Galveston and sail on the almost new Mariner. I won't go into the bad, but to prove that even a bad cruise is better than none, here are 3 good things we enjoyed. The Maitre D,' who had a lovely voice sang to us each night at dinner (Frank Sinatra, etc.). We found out after we had sailed that it was the Maitre D' whom a waiter beat with a metal pipe. Don't know any details. The warm chocolate melting cake is to die for! Our back to back gave us ample time to totally relax, so that we came home ready to get in the holiday mode.

MreenD Posted December 21, 2011 #61 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I love how our wait staff and the staff at Adventure Ocean went out of their way for my son. I love how other passengers understood/tolerated/were very kind to my son, especially when watching the ice show and he shrieked (with joy) loudly, several times. I love being able to spend quality time with my husband and son in a place we've never been and grow closer to both of them. My husband loves that I won 2 of the last 4 games of bingo totalling $495.56. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conanc Posted December 23, 2011 #64 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I love cruising! I love spending time on the balcony with my DH, drinking coffee together in the morning, reading in the afternoon, wine in the evening before dinner, and watching the flying fish! I love the friendliness and dedication of the crew. I love being wined and dined! I love the Diamond C&A benefits! I love snorkeling, beach excursions and the color of the Caribbean water.

Alan13 Posted December 24, 2011 #71 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I love that even on a fixed income I can go on one solo cruise a year. I love the smell of the ocean! I love all the incredible people I meet at Trivia. I love that 1st cup of coffee early in the morning. I love going to the Diamond Lounge for adult beverages. I love being waited on for 2 weeks. Merry Christmas, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup4565 Posted December 25, 2011 #72 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I love everything everybody else has already mentioned, and... I love being able to decide on a whim to drop in on the theatre or one of the clubs and see first-rate entertainment without changing my clothes, figuring out transport and parking, paying for tix or cover charges, and having to regulate my alcohol intake so I can drive home afterward safely. I love that the staff are from all over the world and seem to like telling you about their home countries. I love getting into my cozy bed at night and being rocked to sleep like a baby in a cradle.

T_Bone2012 Posted December 31, 2011 Author #73 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I loved the feeling of adventure and seeing something new and unexpected around every corner... We love to visit and experience completely new places. It's great to be able to see 3 or 4 different countries while only having to unpack one time!

read52 Posted December 31, 2011 #74 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I love going to dinner in the dining room every night and not worry about the cost. I love not have to drive. I love that you can do activities or just take a nap if you want. I love not having to pack and unpack at each new place. I love waking up to a new place each day. I love being able to travel even though my husband is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
