OCruisers Posted July 11, 2014 #27 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Sort of funny: When we've been sailing on other cruise lines, DH tells me he hopes I don't hear that "Love Boat Song" and start crying. :rolleyes: Cruising on a variety of cruise lines is a good thing ... but do sort of always miss Princess. Not that Princess is perfect but it's the devil we know best. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveThisCruisingThing Posted July 11, 2014 #29 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Funny as my last name is pronounced exactly that way. It isn't spelled "Dano" but when I make dinner reservations I always spell it that way as my last name has 10 letters in it. So, I am very happy when I talk to myself and say "book it Dano"! Happiness is: That first step over the threshold of a ship, dropping my carryon in my cabin, grabbing a snack at Horizon and sitting out on the aft deck, standing on deck while the horn blows as we depart, sitting on my balcony staring up at the stars, participating in line dancing classes, reading in a lounger on a sea day, standing on my balcony or on deck as we pull into port, exploring new ports and new areas in old ports, and sharing these experiences with family and friends. Oh and eating some shrimp salad from the IC.:p Isn't that the best shrimp salad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorisis Posted July 11, 2014 #30 Share Posted July 11, 2014 On a Princess ships it's the feeling of being home ... where I belong. Never get that feeling on other cruise lines. LuLu same here but not on the Royal or Regal, They don't give me the same feeling as all the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezone Cruiser Posted July 11, 2014 #31 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Happiness is being welcomed aboard by the Princess staff/crew as soon as my foot steps on the ships deck. What is your Happiness This is a fun thread. Looks like we chose the right cruise line for our first major cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted July 11, 2014 #32 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Happiness is skiing in foot deep fresh powder snow in the Alps remembering I was dreaming of this moment on my last cruise basking in the sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch1 Posted July 11, 2014 #33 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Happiness is being on a ship, exploring new or old sights on port days and relaxing on sea days, enjoying old friends and meeting new ones. Happiness is boarding the ship to return to sea and having enough combinable OBC to cover most of our expenses! :D I agree with these great people. Lots of friends and OBC...BLISS!!!

Northender Posted July 11, 2014 #34 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes, perhaps that is one of the reasons we keep them??;):);) Major reason.:D;) You have some great cruises booked. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendon Posted July 12, 2014 #35 Share Posted July 12, 2014 same here but not on the Royal or Regal, They don't give me the same feeling as all the others. I can tell by now that you really don't like those ships.:) I loved the Royal sooo much. I was apprehensive, but enjoyed everything about it. As for my happiness, it used to be that sound of my card being scanned when I boarded the ship...which they no longer do as they now have a hand held device. I miss that sound!

AZ Stan (FKA Stan in Chicago) Posted July 12, 2014 #39 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Well, where should I start? OK, everything that everyone else has said. Next, the anticipation! Finally, having a waiter spot you from across the dining room, and coming over to say hello, remembering you from a previous cruise several years ago. The cruise staff is unbelievable!

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 12, 2014 #40 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Happiness is when your husband says "Book It".......:D :) ;) I loved this, and it reminded me of our first HAL cruise on the Maasdam in 2010. I received an email with a promotional price of $42 per day per person for a 24 night Caribbean cruise. I was so excited about it I yelled at my DH through the powder room door, "I found a cruise for $42 per day", and he yelled back "Book it!". I did a bit of research and yelled, "It's on the smallest ship we've ever been on" and he yelled back "Book it!". More research..."It's the oldest ship we've ever been on." "Book it!". When he opened the door I said, "It's a ship with some plumbing issues", and he said "Haven't you booked that d#$% cruise yet?". So I did. :p My happiness comes when I awake at the pre-cruise hotel the morning we board the ship. At that point, the work is behind us, the fun lies ahead. It's like Christmas morning and the first morning of summer vacation rolled into one. It's a wonderful feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytoembark Posted July 12, 2014 #41 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's the break of dawn - seems like I'm the only passenger awake - the ship is pulling into a Mediterranean port - I'm on our oversized balcony - cup of coffee in hand - sun is highlighting a quiet shoreline of buildings - it's warm, not hot - I can imagine the history. That's happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjets Posted July 12, 2014 #42 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Today...Happiness is watching "your story begins in 159 days" counting down. In 158 days, Happiness is leaving home and getting on that plane. In 159 days, Happiness is leaving the real world behind and living the dream with DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's happiness. You have painted such a vivid picture. I wish I were there now.... ...two goat cheese soufflés.., as my entree! I can't believe that I have never had the Goat Cheese Souffles. I've cruised Princess 10 times but seem to not be in the dining room on the night this is served. I wonder if they serve it on a 3 day cruise......????
