luvcdays Posted January 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2014 With all the stuff to do I will have to get back to you!!Ready To Go!!!! We love sailaways from the ports. There is nothing like being on the open ocean as we watch the island get smaller and smaller with a Pina Colada in hand and the sun setting :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrier1961 Posted January 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2014 When I first get on the boat. We have a tradition; we get on early and park ourselves in the lobby with a nice tall drink and people watch for a couple of hours. Interesting seeing all of the other people come on board. Matter of fact, we have a cruise in 39 days! Andy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrya72 Posted January 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My first cruise isn't for another 58 days but I have a feeling my favorite part will be the part between when I get on and when I get off.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaBubba Posted January 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My favorite part is the coming into a brand new port. And the best was Venice early in the morning.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD65 Posted January 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) To me it's the feeling of being separated from the rest of the world and traveling to paradise. Only 9 days away form that feeling... Edited January 29, 2014 by AndrewD65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fldw126 Posted January 30, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd have to say waking up the first morning on the ship, getting room service, and reading the fun times planning the day. There is just something special about the first full day:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsuelaw Posted January 30, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Watching such a large ship maneuver in and out of port. I love to watch the side thruster push the ship away from the dock. Watching the harbor pilots board and debark the ship. :cool: On embarkation day, I love to watch pallet upon pallet of pineapples etc get loaded into the ship knowing we will be enjoying all that yummy food that week. The amount of food is insane when you see get loaded. :p Not having to plan any meals, grocery shop, or cook for the whole length of the cruise :D Having my little DD beg to go visit her friends at kids club then dropping her off there with no guilt, so that me and DH can fit a nap in. ;) Watching my DS with autism come alive while at sea :D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamieof3 Posted January 30, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 30, 2014 My family has experienced a lot of tragedy the last 3 years, especially this past year. A cruise is the only vacation that I have ever had that I can actually pretend the real world doesn't exist and I can truly relax. The anticipation of the cruise is a life-saver but when I walk out onto my balcony that first morning with coffee in hand I feel the stresses of life start to move to the background. The serenity of that beautiful blue water calms my spirit. So, I guess my answer is sitting on my balcony *sigh* just 53 more days until my next cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Circus Posted January 30, 2014 #24 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I love crossing the gangway for the first time and stepping across the threshold. Love that feeling that we will be away from the "real world" from that point forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted January 30, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 30, 2014 1. Getting dinged onto the ship. 2. Ordering my 1st of many Bloody Mary's at the Lobby bar. 3. Interacting with the crew and seeing old crew that have become friends over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
