What have you never done on a cruise?

[George C]

We've been on 3 12 nite Mediterranean cruises and always planned to visit the Sistine Chapel in conjunction with the Vatican.. However, either closed for religious holiday, maintenance, etc. we have never been successful in getting to the Sistine Chapel. Hopefully, this August cruise we will have more luck as far as I can determine it will be open.

 

I would not want to do that in August, we just did it in September, it was so hot, no air movement and wall to wall people

Never seen a pepper grinder sitting on a table

Ok, I'm not thinking balcony club here [emoji85]

I have never been to the spa. Never gambled in the casino. No rock wall or flo rider. Never been to quest. Have only seen the love and marriage show, actually. No other shows. Am I missing out?? We usually spend our time at the pool during the day and bars a night. We nap before the late seating dinner and then go dancing after dinner. We are emerald so we have a few cruises under our belt.

 

Until last month, I could say the same as you (minus a very small amount of gambling). I participated in Quest last month. I WATCHED flo rider while sipping a bloody mary one morning. Other than that, we pretty much do the same as you. :) That's just adds to the many excuses for booking more cruises!

Never caught the brat that pushed all the elevator buttons.

Never got chocolates during the nightly turndown service on RCCL (it's been a couple of years--has this changed?)

I have not been in any of the RCL ship pools or tubs for I always imagine them to be unsanitary.

 

They can't be unsanitary! There's so much chlorine that even people have a hard time living.

 

Oh, that reminds me. I've never found the "no-peeing" section of the pool.

[cruizers]

Never had the Upgrade Fairy pay me a visit.

What time of day. We're hoping to do it early in the am. Is it worth getting private tours via Viator.

The only thing i have not done,was leave the ship with more money then i bought on the the ship. :D

Never been to an art auction - always been a bit wary of what goes on in there!

Never tried escargot - always meant to...

Never ventured into Rome after docking at Civicavecchia twice on Med cruises - I've heard its fantastic

[wolfcathorse]

never went to an art auction

never did Rock Climbing wall (bad knees)

never went to the gym

 

I have (twice) blown the horn on departure out of Miami (the ships horn, not the captain's, get your mind out of the gutter). Is that close enough to steering the ship?

Rome is great! Naples, not so much.....

WE did it at 2pm during the week, we had a private tour guide via Rome in Limo, I like having the guide but it doesn't avoid the crowds, but may skip line to get in.

However, area surrounding Naples is beautiful--such as the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi, Capri, Pompeii, etc.

Problem with art auction is if you drink too much of the free champagne you might buy something

On one of my Serenade cruises it bleached the bottom of my bathing suits due to the amount of chlorine in the hot tubs. lol

[cynt]

I have never cruised in a suite.

I have never skipped paying gratuities.

I have never tried the flowrider, I'm scared. LOL!

I have never purchased art at the art auction

I have never won the slot pull.

I have never purchased the alcoholic or nonalcoholic drink pkg.

I have never cruised without getting a tan.

I have never had a zero account balance on my SeaPass card at the end of the cruise.

I have never gotten married on a cruise.

There isn't enough alcohol in the world to get me to dance in public or buy art on a ship.

That reminds me, I've never been on a nude cruise. Freedom did it once.

[travelin_nat]

I have never used the Spa, never stayed in an inside cabin, stay mostly in suites but have never eaten in coastal kitchen, never rock climbed, and have never used the solarium. Also ,in the spirit of Cruise Critic, I have never shared my drink package, smoked on the balcony, noticed pepper grinders were missing, hogged a pool chair, flaunted my cruise status, worn shorts in the MDR and have absolutely never been upset that the bananas were in a bowl next to the ketchup and mayo.

 

Too funny. Love it!

I've touched the wheel, but it was disabled. Auto pilot.

You touched the actual wheel?!! :eek: You are now indeed blessed. :D :D

 

Or was it that toggle stick thingy? Just not the same as the sailing days of

old with those huge ship's wheels....think Johnny Depp saying "Yo-ho...and

a bottle of rum....now bring me that horizon!!" :p :p

Haven't been to those places. I lived in Sardinia for 2 years and was fortunate to travel to Rome, Naples, Genoa, Pisa and Florence on a shoestring. Didn't have much money in those days (1976-1978).

Never been to an art auction. It doesn't interest me but I didn't know about the free champagne. I may have to re-think this.....

Yes!! Same thing here. Also Serenade.
