SMSACE6 Posted August 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2016 well said bigdawgmatty! There are actually two things on your list that do bug me, but only two, and I am not telling which ones:p I love cruising, and only wish I could go more than once a year.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good to have things that bug you. I'll guess anyway. Let's see... Chair hogs and cigarette smoke Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chair hogs and cigarette smoke Sent from my iPhone using Forums Ok, I will give some...you got one right! But let's not go there, as it will end up getting your thread pulled, and I like your post, would like to see it stay;) BTW, neither one of those two things that annoy me are enough to keep me off Carnival, or any ship for that matter. Just not big deals to me. Edited August 26, 2016 by SMSACE6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mar214 Posted August 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2016 When we are lucky enough to be on a cruise, there is no way we want to waste a single minute sweating the small stuff. I must tell you, however, that I am one of those that take the elevator 1 floor. I have really crummy knees, and walking stairs is a killer for me. I do feel judged when I push the button for 1 floor, but I really don't have a choice. Hope my fellow cruisers will keep this in mind when you see people do this.

retirement dream cruiser Posted August 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2016 You have the secret figured out. Life and cruises are all about your attitude. A good attitude makes even the worst circumstances manageable. HAVE A GREAT TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterMason Posted August 27, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) I personally hate that damn sad song they sing in the MDR on the last night. "All your bags are packed, you're ready to go. We're standing here in front of you, we hate to see you go and say goodbye. We have done our best to serve you this cruise we have danced for you and made you smile already we're so lonesome we could cry, so wave and smile for me, tell me that you'll be back for me hold me like you'll never let me go you're leaving our funship we want to see you back again we hate to let you go so every ship you go we think of you every song we sing we sing for you when you come back we want to serve you again (again again again) so wave to me and smile for me tell me that you'll be back for me hold me like you'll never let me go you're leaving our funship we want to see you back again, leaving our funship we hope to see you back again, leaving our funship we hope to see you back again."

Greselda2251 Posted August 27, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Great thread! We also agree with most.....the main thing to bring on a cruise is a great attitude :D To Mar214.....there are many, many, things that don't appear at first and it seems to be human nature for people to judge others when they don't have the whole story....tsk, tsk!!! You do whatever you have to do to be comfortable....and enjoy your cruise! For them: "There, but for the grace of God, go I....."
