stewpapa Posted September 16, 2012 Author #46 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) I never have a bad time. I always wish my cruise was longer and my next one was sooner! I will be taking my 26th cruise next month and have never been to a show. Enjoyable Posts. Thanks Everyone for playing. Interesting what folks do and don't do and you came up with some great ones I didn't think of! I especially like the two posts above! Wow about having never seen a show in 25 Cruises! Also there are some great tips in this thread as well. Edited September 16, 2012 by stewpapa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngAndBoys Posted September 16, 2012 #47 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I've never seen a production show in 8 cruises either. Not my thing. I have also never done Chef's table, dance lessons, or any of the "talks". Also never got internet services or even THOUGHT about anything involving exercising. Everything else, I've tried at least once, but some I won't do again. Not so into Bingo, Spa, Salon, and don't care about ice cream. Probably ONE shopping spree and ONE temporary tattoo was enough, though it DID make a really neat-o tan line. ALWAYS: Laundry service, comedy club, casino, room service. Always watch at least one movie in the room and order RS and just veg for a while, usually get in a nap or two, totally enjoy the hairy chest contest, like the trivia, and even karaoke...I don't sing but it IS very entertaining! I do want to do the behind the scenes tours at some point in life...and the chef's table. And God knows some dance lessons would do me some good. I'm putting those on my list for future cruises.

nlktx49 Posted September 16, 2012 #48 Share Posted September 16, 2012 NEVER got in a hot tub -Warm "people stew" EEEUUUwww - will use one at home! NEVER got in a pool - Cold "people stew" Never went to art auction Never got a soda card Never smuggled booze Never brought wine on board Never brought soft drinks or water on board Never lay out in the sun Never go to the gym Never tried the slides - afraid I'd get stuck or break them! Never tried the steak house - I want to, dh doesn't Never used internet service Never ate dinner at the buffet on Lido Always go to tea Always go to casino Always play in slots tournament Always have breakfast in MDR Always have a Kiss on the Lips drink Always play trivia - have won two ships on a stick Always play bingo Other people's list give me ideas for future cruises - there's always somethings I want to do that I never get around to. Also makes me realize how different people are in their likes and dislikes. Good thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Kat Posted September 16, 2012 #49 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I want to know why with all these people who never use the gym, it's always packed when I go there to work off all the food I've been eating!:) We NEVER do the art auction We NEVER play bingo (it's gotten terribly complicated and it's too much like work) We do most everything else but not every cruise. Although I will be keeping an eye out for yellow water in the pools and hot tubs! Love the Steakhouse, Chocolate Melting Cake, Slots in the Casino, the Lido deck, room service in the am, coffee and danish on the balcony, days at sea, getting a pedicure or some treatment in the spa, miniature golf, getting the internet package so I can post pics on Facebook and make my friends jealous. etc. etc. Looking forward to the Movies on deck - our first chance to do this, one of these days I will try the slide, and just having fun. Can't wait until June 2013! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We NEVER care to eat at the Chef's table We NEVER go to the Captain's reception We NEVER stand in line at Guest Services to complain We NEVER buy the soda card (bring a few of our own, which is sufficient) We NEVER lose weight on a cruise We NEVER allow the kids to stay up past 11:30 (a short CC night owls program for them). We NEVER purchase Carnival's excursions We NEVER have our teeth whitened WE NEVER get a seaweed "weight loss/inches loss" wrap----what a scam We SELDOM go to the Spa (except to use their showers or sit in the sauna) We SELDOM buy anything in the shops We SELDOM play the scavenger hunt We SELDOM get in a hot tub We get in the pool...Always (when bringing the kids), Never (when cruising without the kids) WE SELDOM go to the Comedy Club We SELDOM watch TV or use the internet services We SELDOM watch anything on the Big Screen We occasionally walk the track or jog or work out We ALWAYS use the "wash n fold $15 special" on day 3 or 4 (and roll up the dirty clothes tight before putting in the laundry bag) We ALWAYS purchase the duty-free liquor special on the ship (it's a great deal!) We ALWAYS play bingo We ALWAYS order BOTH the lobster and Prime Rib in the MDR on Elegant Night (but can never eat it all) We AlWAYS order dessert after dinner, at the Warm Chocolate Melting cake at least once We ALWAYS order a Cappuccino with dessert in the MDR We USUALLY buy a couple pictures We USUALLY go into the Casino We ALWAYS play mini golf and go down the slide, but not at the same time :p For all of you afraid of getting stuck, I'm quite "curvy" and have never had a problem. It's fun...JUST DO IT :) We ALWAYS get room service (coffee in the morning, breakfast "snack" to keep the kiddos happy while we get ready for the day) We USUALLY eat breakfast in the MDR (love the eggs benedict and caramel baked banana) We ALWAYS get soft serve ice cream daily (yep, kiddo influenced, again) We ALWAYS buy a few Drinks daily We ALWAYS go to a dance club for a little while We ALWAYS go to the Love and Marriage Gameshow We ALWAYS take an afternoon nap We ALWAYS sit on the balcony in the morning, drinking coffee, while the kids still are sleeping, and watch the sunrise and (on port days) the ship dock. We ALWAYS allow the kiddos to eat dinner at Camp Carnival, if they want. We ALWAYS go to the Show, when there is one. We USUALLY go to some Karaoke We USUALLY see the sunrise and the sunset. We ALWAYS bring the allotted 1 bottle of wine per person We ALWAYS buy the duty-free liquor special (it's actually a great deal!) We ALWAYS have pizza out under the stars before going to bed or allow the kiddos to have it for breakfast. WE ALWAYS love every minute and feel that every day is busy and full! WE ALWAYS let our children play at Camp Carnival as much as they ask, but don't "make" them go. They love it so much, they request to be there daily.
