tawaik Posted January 13, 2016 #83 Share Posted January 13, 2016 First time not having pre-booked excursions for us. My next cruise in April will be to relax as much as possible and perhaps read finish some pages in my coloring book:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalVisit Posted January 13, 2016 #84 Share Posted January 13, 2016 So DH and I have cruised a fair bit- and no they are not all listed on here;-). But I was wondering for repeat cruisers with a cruise coming up- is there anything that will be a first for you? For example- this is the first time we are traveling with just carry on bags. This is the first time we are using faster to the fun. Cruising in less than two weeks... 4 new ports for us (booked excursions for 2 of them so we could see the sights) First time booking a guarantee cabin First time flying out of San Juan We always travel with only carry-on bags...makes it difficult for the elegant nights but we have yet to decide if we will eat in the dining room on those nights.

Rare Honolulu Blue Posted January 31, 2016 #88 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Now that I'm back from my latest cruise, I would like to add a few firsts: * First time actively watching the big screen. I watched the second half of the Patriots-Broncos football game. Not a bad experience. I had a better than expected view from Deck 10, where there were very few people. I'll have to try it again sometime. * First time on the big stage. At the morning show, I got a trivia question right and they asked me to sing the appropriate song. I should've refused, but in a moment of whimsy I told them I'd be really bad at it. They didn't care. I wasn't very good. They got a partner for me who knew the song better and had a better voice. Eventually they put us out of our misery. * First time on Carnival's TV. See above. I didn't see it, but maybe 30 others saw this awkwardness on TV. The DVD will be out in May. :) * First time attending the Welcome Aboard show live. I had seen it before on TV, but I had some extra time in my schedule and headed on down. It was OK. I might do it again sometime. * First time calling room service. No answer. One of these days, I'll actually get room service. And now reactions to the items I posted three weeks ago and have now experienced: * Galveston - getting on the shuttle was a mess. Embarking was slower than I'm used to, though it was mostly just standing in lines. * Assigned arrival times - OK for me, since I got the time slot that I wanted. There was a group of people outside who I assume were too early for their slots and watched us go inside. It probably wasn't as good for them, since it was windy and a little chilly. * Saffie - As I mentioned in another thread, she was OK, suitable for ordinary use. * The ports - All nice, all had their distinctive parts. We anchored near Spotts Bay for Grand Cayman. My guess is they don't get a lot of business because there wasn't much there for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WetToes Posted February 1, 2016 #97 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) So DH and I have cruised a fair bit- and no they are not all listed on here;-). But I was wondering for repeat cruisers with a cruise coming up- is there anything that will be a first for you? I'm cruising in March. It will be my first solo cruise, ... sorta. My DH and I always cruised together. He passed in May. I went on a cruise this past November, with my 16 yo grandson. I hardly saw him ( I told him to "Go make friends". He did). So I was almost alone. He had a great time and that's what I wanted for him. :) Edited February 1, 2016 by WetToes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
