What is your most FAVORITE thing to do...

[BallFour4]

I like to wake up and get a start on the exercise just before sunrise. Something about a hour on the track and then a slow descent to the lido deck for a couple of glasses of pineapple juice.

 

Then, grab a table in the outside areas near the casual dining area and people watch as breakfast is being served.

 

You get to watch people that forgot to pack a comb, chairhogs, kids in tow, couples like us that are up early every morning...

 

The area around the pool morphs from a quiet area to the center of activity by 9:30 am each morning at sea.

 

For me, that is the signal to head to the showers and a quality nap.

 

Do I sound like my dad? Naps, people watching? What next, a social life spaced between The Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune?

I enjoy the dining room (and I know a lot of folks -- I'm a schoolteacher, who can wolf down a meal in under 15 minutes! -- who will be surprised at this), and the multi-course meals at dinner.

I suspect that 90% of cruise passengers NEVER sit down to a fine-dining meal (and that includes me!) unless onboard. I select something from every course, even if nothing particularly inspires. Why not? I already paid for it, and the dinners alone almost account for the cost of the entire cruise if you buy them locally. Think about it! And when serenditipity strikes, and you find yourself with every course harmonious, tablemates who appeal, and no check at the end -- well, gosh, what else could be better?!

while cruising?? You can only pick one thing! :p Thought this would be a fun thread.

 

Great question! I had to really think about that one. We're both early bird risers. The best thing is grabbing a hot cup of coffee, sitting in our bathing suits on the aft lido deck and watching the sunrise.

I think we can all come to a conclusion -- relaxation is so important! Gotta love that!!

[MARRIEDATSEA]

sitting on my balcony reading a novel with the CCL ice tea in hand! :D

[momanme]

A window seat on the promenade deck with a martini and my mp3 player. I love to people watch.

[Corsair41]

Wow. If I had to choose just one thing, it would be going to places I've only read about and doing things I've never imagined I would.

[oscar's mom]

My favorite thing is waking up in a new place every morning without having to get there on my own!

[gypsyrose]

I love everything about a cruise but I really look forward to enjoying room service on the balcony with my DH. Love those balconies!

[addicted2cruizin]

I guess I can't wait for the fun to begin. I am usually up 2 hours before my DH and kids. I grab my book & Ipod and head up to the Lido deck for some coffee. I find a quiet place to drink my coffee and watch the sun rise.

Watch the waves go by. I can sit/stand and watch water for hours.

I love the feeling I get when I leave work the last day before I leave - knowing that the next week belongs to me and my family - and just everything we have to look forward to over the next week or so. Lots of sun, sand, dod's, and just being on "island time" :)

[elaineb]

I don't have a favorite thing, but my DH and I love to get away from the pool activity and go inside to the hot tub in the gym/spa area. We bring our books and relax and go in and out of the hot tub as we please. Have even napped in there!

[MrsAggie]

Whatever activity that involves spending time w/my family. (DH, DD, Mom, Dad, Sister, BIL, neice, and nephew.)

 

 

Now I see 4 dogs on 1 bed and big brown on coach. Sorry couldn't resist!

Don't know my favorite thing. First Cruise coming up!! WooHoo!:D

Fine dining and if you don't like it get something else! Or more of the same if you love it. This does not happen anywhere else!

[richstan]

It's all about the food!

[lynnber]

Having someone else cook my meals and make my bed.

[Tulip_Girl]

Relaxing! No cooking, dishes, laundry, and cleaning for a week. I love it! I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. A week of relaxing is heavenly!

 

However, eating dinner in the dining room is a really close second!

[caribbeanchickie]

Spending a week away from it all ( no cooking, cleaning, phones, internet or WORK) with my wonderful husband. :)

[truecruiser]

i'm w/ sandi and deb. i can't limit it to one thing. top 3 maybe? drinks on lido, meeting new friends, and LMAO at the midnight "R" rated comedy shows.:D

[truecruiser]

Whatever activity that involves spending time w/my family. (DH, DD, Mom, Dad, Sister, BIL, neice, and nephew.)

 

FTLOG...your twins are back, LOL?:D

 

Watching the movie "Click" over and over again in the room.

Hands down, sitting on my balcony reading or just listening to the ocean. I didn't have a balcony on my last cruise, and I was lost!

[halos]

the one thing??

 

nothing.

The cruise is what I cruise for, being on the ship out on the ocean.

That's it. That's all I need. :)

[Dizholic]

I love every part of my cruise, but if I had to pick one thing, I would have to say the drink specials of the day, or better known as foo-foo drinks LOL.

[Dee Rhodes]

Sitting on the balcony and enjoying the wind, moon, sun, stars, etc. that God has created.:)
