I love sitting on my balcony. It makes you feel like you have the entire ocean to yourself. Naturally, I love eating, drinking, gambling, shows, etc., as well. However, I can do all those on land. Sitting quietly on the balcony, staring at the ocean, is something I can't do anyplace else!!

I agree with Pungo3. The balcony is so very important to me. You are in your own little world staring at the great ocean and the moon and stars at night. It is so relaxing and theraputic.

I agree with pungo3 -it's the balcony experience that gives me that ahhhhhhhhhhh feeling. I have a photo of my bare feet propped against the balcony for each cruise. I even have one on my desk at work. To me, it just says, cruising, baby!

Chris,

...at least not in Kansas!

[bethee]

We take books and thermal cups for coffee and spend most of the day on the balcony hoping to see some dolfins. Miss living near the ocean so just watching the ocean change is a treat for me.

[soccrguy]

Dosen,t it kinda make ya wonder what we did before balconies.. I.m with the whole group on this

Another one for the balcony. Everything else is great, but like Pungo said you can do those things on land. Sitting out on the balcony, watching the ocean and hopefully dolphins is wonderful, peaceful and humbling.

[bethee]

this is actually from Mr. Bethee. I also am crazy about the balcony. We lived in Hawaii for seven years and the feeling of being on the ocean is really highlighted when you can see and smell it. I really enjoy the feeling of doing what you want at your own pace. there is always something doing so if you miss this thing stick around something else is coming right up.<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> </pre>

Well, I've never had a balcony cabin, but I do love being on deck with the wind and sun! Nothing like it.

 

I consider myself very fortunate that my home is beachfront in Gulfport, and I have coffee every morning, and a drinkypoo every evening, looking at the Gulf of Mexico. HOWEVER, it's not even close to the feelings I have while cruising!

Cotton,

I live near the water too.I can sit on my front porch and watch the boats go by. In the summer I sit there, reading a book, and just relaxing. We haven't done a balcony either and have never really felt any need too. Last week we saw seals sunning themselves on rocks near shore! A cruise is a great family vacation for us. I don't need another vacation when I come back!

Add me as another one that really enjoys having a balcony. Sitting on the deck in Kansas really doesn't quite give you the same feeling. Of course, we also enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places and trying new food and experiences.

There are lots of things I like to do on cruises but my most favorite is being on the lido deck having a foo foo drink as the ship leaves port. Makes me realize my vacation is truely starting.

[halos]

I guess I'm with Imlulu on this one except she is sipping a diet Coke...I am slurping a Foo Foo.

I love the idea of being waited on...people catering to me for a change; It's heaven.

That, and just being on the ocean.

44 more days...I just can't wait!

Calm Seas, Good Friends

[jemingway]

I like to climb to the highest deck with a commanding view of the ocean. I stand against the rail and let the wind blow over me, slowing blowing away stress, discomfort, any memory of work, until I feel I am a part of the wind. It literally blows concerns away. When I am rejuvenated, I go find my kids and play the silly games with them that it seems you never have time to do at home. The uninterrupted time together is the key to the whole vacation.

[sea-cruise]

It's hard to choose a favorite thing. I like to mingle with people so even though we've been booking balconies, I end up on the lido usually. Everybody's in a good mood on a cruiseship. It's like one big happy neighborhood; No nasty sour faces. I live on a lakefront, but I prefer being on an ocean.

[izzyvet]

Laying on a lounge chair, soaking up the sun and the wind, view of the ocean, then sip on a FooFoo drink... repeat as neccessary.

 

Love waking up that first morning and saying "honey, we're not in Colorado anymore"

Until the last, never had a balcony, but agree with Cotton, the wind, the sun, the ports, the people... just being there, at that moment, makes it all worth it. Each port, every cruise brings new experiences, new friends, along with all the expected. A balcony is great, but any cruise is better
