samzgirl84 Posted May 27, 2014 #26 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Leaving behind the blowing snow, icy roads, winter coats, boots, mittens...just being cold everyday...and stepping out for a few days into the sunshine, warm breezes, palm trees, green grass, blue skies, sunglasses, sunscreen, warm beaches everyday. Just forgetting about the weather back home for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrib Posted May 27, 2014 #27 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I envy you, because it only happens once. Enjoy it.:) re: CanDMan47 "stepping aboard my first ship!" My next cruise will provide the next best thing, sailing with a newbie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparelink Posted May 27, 2014 #28 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The peace of being out at sea and no technology! I always love hearing people say no technology, I know they mean no cell phones. It is just funny to me that the whole ship is some of the most advanced technology most people have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted May 27, 2014 #31 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Waking up at a different port every morning (well except sea days) Finally someone mentioned the ports:D We love the ship, but the ports are just as important to us! If allowed a second mention, what some others said: Total disconnect from home - phones and everything else are in the safe for the whole week and TURNED OFF.

The Sunset Glow Posted May 27, 2014 #32 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Getting to spend quality time reconnecting with my husband. We usually vacation twice per year - once with the kids and once without. Work and kids keep us very busy every day so I value this couples time time more than any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKane Posted May 27, 2014 #33 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I am most looking forward to sitting on my balcony after returning to my cabin from either sunbathing on the upper deck or going ashore on a port day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruzieSue Posted May 27, 2014 #36 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I agree with ALL of the above ... sleeping is the best ... no house work ... no long discussions about where to eat or where to go from here ... and all the rest. But MY absolute favorite is my own, private balcony where I can enjoy the peace and sounds of gliding through the water ... watching the changing colors of the water ... watching the changing colors in the skies in the mornings and evenings ... catching the first glimpses of land - our next foreign destination ... and sitting and visiting with my loved ones about "what was your favorite thing about today", etc. Makes me Happy, Happy, Happy !!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted May 27, 2014 #37 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I know this is a hard one to answer but if u could try think of the one thing u are most looking fwd to on yr next cruise, what would it be?? One thing remember ;)told u it was hard lol For me ... sitting by the pool, nice cocktail, band playing in the background :-) Ahhhh bliss. Your turn .... For me, on this last cruise it was easy. It was not being at work! Because of surgery 3 months before the cruise I was limited in what I could do so relaxing and sightseeing played a big part, it was great to be away from work, but also somewhere warm and nice. Next cruise I am most looking forward to seeing Freedom again and deciding which I like better after two cruise each, Allure or Freedom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing remember ;)told u it was hard lol For me ... sitting by the pool, nice cocktail, band playing in the background :-) Ahhhh bliss. Your turn ....

tlatrice Posted May 27, 2014 #39 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sitting on my balcony with my Kindle and a drink, alternating between enjoying my book and enjoying the sound of the sea! I've been trying to find some sounds of the sea apps but I can't find anything that quite replicated the sound of a cruise ship moving though the ocean. Too bad my upcoming itinerary only has 2 sea days. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
