Marcia&Bob Posted September 6, 2004 #51 Share Posted September 6, 2004 [quote name='judytata11']Not hostile but sooooooo many chronic complainers! Do you prefer large or small tables in the dining room?[/QUOTE] I prefer large tables. I really enjoy conversations with new people. We have only been on two cruises so far. The first we were at a table for 8 and the last we were on a table for 10. 10 was too large. It was hard to hear the folks at the other end. We have requested a table of 8 for our upcoming cruise. I think 8 is perfect. Everyone participated in the conversations. We had a lot of fun sharing what we had done during the day. I even purchansed a picture of everyone to remember them.

29Waves Posted September 6, 2004 #52 Share Posted September 6, 2004 [color=red]QUOTE[/color] [color=red]New Question: Are you an early bird or a night owl?[/color] We are early birds. We get up early every morning and exercise, and around 4pm have a snack, cocktails at the Martini Bar around 7pm, then off to dinner at 8:30pm...... but usually asleep by 11:30pm or so Next Question: Do you play Bingo on your cruise and if so have you ever won the big jackpot on the last day ? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuggers Posted September 6, 2004 #53 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Any size over 6 is good for me, too! I've even had 12 and enjoyed it! I tend to rise earlier on a ship than at home. Guess I don't want to miss ANYTHING! Usually have coffee and a roll delivered about 7 ot 7:30. NEXT QUESTIONl If you were scheduled for a September or October caribbean cruise that was diverted to Canada because of a hurricane would yoy take it with good grace or make everyone around you miserable with your complaining?

Parrotgirl Posted September 6, 2004 #54 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Yes - I've played bingo and no - never won the big jackpot. Only once did I play on a day other than the last day for the big jackpot. Won $200. Took it into the casino and won a $600 jackpot. Have you ever won BIG in the casino?

29Waves Posted September 6, 2004 #55 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I am a seasoned cruiser, and have been through many different circumstances. No matter where you cruise, a day on a ship is better than a day at home :D To me, every cruise is an adventure, and why be miserable ? You alone can make or break your cruise experience.....why be miserable and make everyone else around you miserable by complaining ? Just suck it up and enjoy your cruise :D Think about those people less fortunate than you, who cannot afford to cruise :( D~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judytata11 Posted September 6, 2004 #56 Share Posted September 6, 2004 No but I'm always hopeful! Maybe next time!! Would you rather not try a Disney cruise because they don't have a casino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msiowa Posted September 6, 2004 #57 Share Posted September 6, 2004 The casino isn't a big deal for me, so that would not be my reason for not taking a Disney cruise. (I have other reasons.) What is the BEST port you've ever been in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judytata11 Posted September 6, 2004 #59 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I guess it would be Nassau.........not very pretty, not much to do When you find an island you you love do you ever plan a land vacation there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrighin Posted September 6, 2004 #60 Share Posted September 6, 2004 When I visited St. Maarten on a land excursion, I was so enchanted that I wound up buying a time share. I return there to utilize it every 2 years, and I love my investment! Q: How do you feel when parents bring very young children (say, under 3 years old) to your late dinner table?

judytata11 Posted September 6, 2004 #61 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I think "Why me" But I would give them a chance...if it didn't work out we would request a table change or eat elsewhere Sounds like cruise prices will be higher for a while.........will you try other vacations till they come down?

muffin Posted September 6, 2004 #62 Share Posted September 6, 2004 No, we may not cruise quite as often, but love it too much to stop! Suppose that means we will do a few more land based over time too. Next question...... What has been the most remarkable "extra service" your room steward hs preformed for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPat Posted September 7, 2004 #63 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I guess the "most remarkable service" was years ago on Empress of the Seas. We had the steward move the beds apart every morning so we had some room in the cabin. Cabin size is 120 sq ft. At night he would put the beds together so we could sleep. My question is do you take a tour in every port? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judytata11 Posted September 7, 2004 #64 Share Posted September 7, 2004 No, sometimes we just go to the beach. It depends on what is offered at a port. How many crusie related emails do you estimate that you get each week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you found anything on any cruise menu that you did not like? Mine was the gold garlic potato soup - maybe be better hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judytata11 Posted September 7, 2004 #66 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I ordered some kind of pasta dish with duck and didn't care for it. My own fault I guess because the waiter warned me! Do you enjoy lunch in the dining room a couple times on each cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuggers Posted September 7, 2004 #67 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I eat breakfast and lunch in the dining room a lot. I like being served and it is easier to control eating when ordering off a menu. Too easy to get 'one of everything' on a buffet! New Question: Do you hate it when you stay in formal dress for shows, etc and people run to their cabins right after dinner and put on shorts? Should they be allowed into shows and casinos?

starlake Posted September 7, 2004 #69 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I don't really hate it, but I do wish it was one way or another. It does look pretty silly with someone in a pair of shorts standing next to someone in a formal. What was the best thing you ever bought in port?

janjay Posted September 7, 2004 #70 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Bar none? gotta be seeing a variety of great places, eating a wonderous selection of food and doing something different eveyday and never having to pack and unpack.
