wakelover Posted July 8, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Since we started cruising we cant imagine another type of holiday. No more hotels for us! We love the fact that you can lie by a pool sipping your cocktail of the day but still feel that you are 'doing' something because you are travelling!!! We love meeting new people and the comraderie that you get on a cruise ship. Its like moving house for a fortnight and having new neighbours! We love the laid back relaxing feeling of just plodding about with everything a short walk from your cabin. We love the food too! and going out on our balcony in the morning to a new view! What makes cruising so special for you? wakelover xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randrea Posted July 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I agree with everything you said. My absolute favorite part is meeting people on the boards and talking about the cruise and getting excited talking about it for months. And then to all meet and put faces to the names is the best. There is no other vacation where you can actually meet friends before you even get there. For me, the vacation is not about the destination. It's all about the ship!!! I've never stayed in a hotel where I became friendly with other guests. On a cruise you meet people in the hot tub, elevator, even in the ladies room!!! And then you pass them a day later and they remember you and say "hi". It's the best. oh..............and the food is good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyLA Posted July 8, 2006 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I love the ocean. And being on a ship while sailing on the ocean and just looking out at something that appears endless makes me realize how small I am in a world so big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew's Wife Posted July 11, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2006 For my Husband and I it is a time to be away from all the hurry of everyday life and to be able to spend time together for a few days, just the two of us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergus Posted July 14, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I love that my DH's cell phone doesn't ring, no phone messages or emails to respond to, no meetings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDR Posted July 15, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I never feel as relaxed than when I'm on a cruise. All worries seem to disappear:) Looking forward to April....sigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Forever Posted July 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Besides the NO cooking and NO cleaning it's so peaceful sailing on the open waters. The staff treats you like royalty. I feel like a queen for the week. I enjoy meeting new people. I love that I get to see several ports-of-call. It just makes me feel wonderful from morning till night.

love2vacation Posted July 16, 2006 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2006 No- WORK for both of us, for me- no cooking, cleaning, DH-phone calls, e-mails. DH- being unreachable even by cell phone. Being pampered. Both of us enjoy the solitude you feel, and the beauty you see while enjoying the sea from your very own balcony in paradise! Seeing and learning about new countries and ports. Tasting new food, and drinks. Jeeez, I am so going through cruise withdrawal, still!!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachergal29 Posted July 20, 2006 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2006 My husband and I enjoy cruising because from the moment you step onto the ship you have not a care in the world. The biggest decision that we have to make is what to wear and what to eat. No cooking, cleaning or hassles with traveling. Looking forward to our next cruise is Island Princess 10/21/06 RT to Hawaii (15 days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoalwater Posted July 21, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Well, really only two. "Should I get up now?" and " "Should I have another entree?".:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missilecop Posted July 30, 2006 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I love cruising because where else can you be treated like a king or queen and see different ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criuisingurl079 Posted July 31, 2006 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I love cruising b'c where else is the most important decision of the day which outfit to wear to dinner, and then what to eat?!! :p Cruising is the one thing that my fiancee and I do that is unique to everyone one we know- just the boat and the open seas for us- we are addicted, but no one else understands why?! Counting down to the next!! Sept. hopefully!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willandjonsmom Posted August 1, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Late night everynight my youngest son 15 and I turn on the TV and order room service and have a late night picnic. It is a special time for us, because he is in High School and leads a very busy life as do I. This is the best time, no rules about what to eat, just enjoy.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceramicpro Posted August 3, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Cruising is a vacation I can do that my workplace is unable to contact me. My favorite words to my co-workers and boss are, "Don't try and call me, I'll be out in the middle of the ocean!":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatgas Posted March 26, 2007 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Let's see.....where to begin? Seeing our ship as we pull up to the pier, walking onboard and entering the atruim and thinking "this is a ship?? It's so HUGE!!" Relaxing by the pool with a good book, the shows, the FOOD!! ;) I've only been on 2 cruises, but I am addicted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngl116 Posted March 27, 2007 #20 Share Posted March 27, 2007 First off, my husband proposed to me pre-cruise in Key West at sunset, the best part, we were in a group of 40 and no one knew, I got to show off my bling and my newly engaged smile all week!:D I also agree with a previous poster, I never feel more relaxed than when I'm cruising. No work, no phones, all of our pets taken care of by friends and family, no worries! *sigh* I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vowsatsea Posted April 1, 2007 #22 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I like that there are so many things to do, and everything is right there. You get an awesome amount for your money. It's a great family vacation, and a great vacation for couples. I can chose to do something with just my boyfriend, or have dinner with random people that I've never met before. So many things to do, so little time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choula Posted April 3, 2007 #23 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I am hooked, the laying by the pool being served drinks, what a way to take a vacation..I just got back from a short cruise with my daughter,,,it is a wonderful way to spend time with a daughter that is already your best friend...

Cavatelli430 Posted April 13, 2007 #25 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Complete and total relaxation! My husband is a workaholic and cleanaholic at home and work, so this is the only time he unwinds and relaxes. Doesn't care about leaving wet towels on the floor, it's a riot! No cooking, no cleaning...PARADISE! Also a perk for me is not cell phone reception. I don't have to hear from my mother-in-law EVERY SINGLE DAY. (No offense to any mother-in-laws out there, but mine can be a little smothering at times and doesn't know the meaning of relaxation. :rolleyes: ) So our first cruise, I told my DH ahead of time that he'd have to tell him mom she wouldn't hear from us till the day we got off the boat. The 4 days of no contact was rough on her, especially when she heard something on the news about a potential storm that wouldn't have even hit till after we were home...ANYWAYS! Enough of my babeling! I'm looking forward to our 7 days of peace, quiet, & relaxation! Also, I love waking up in a new place each morning!
