Favorite cruise moment

[DrTee]

Can you say "Permanent Cruising" ? LOL

 

Maybe I can get a doctor's note!

I voted for seeing the ship for the first time. We've only been on two cruises, and both times my tummy did a little "flip" when I saw the ship for the first time.

Playing drunken tennis (or some semblance thereof, and while wearing formal wear) at 3 or 4 in the morning on our Constellation Transatlantic sailing.

I love everything about cruising so could say, "all of the above," but seeing the ship for the first time gets me very excited because I know we're really on our way.

My DW always loves the moment we cross the gangway and enter the ship...she always says " can you believe we are on the ship?". and I always say back " we sure are, ain't it great".

[Guest LoveMyBoxer]

Don't know if anyone else stated it, but ALL OF THE ABOVE and more!

Excellent poll. To me, it's walking across the gangway and onto the ship. Somehow, it's not "real" until I set foot on the ship. I'm excited beforehand and rarely get a good night's sleep due to excitement. But stepping onboard is my favorite moment and the culmination of everything I've been waiting for. Let the cruise begin!

I voted other, because my favorite part was the rough seas we had in the carribean and watching the pool splash over the sides from the sky bar. I guess I am stranger than most people, cuz I really liked the bouncing and watching people (including me and our group) try to walk while the ship was bouncing everywhere, lol.

It kinda felt like buy one beer get 3 free with the motion of the ship creating a "drunkin' sailor" effect, lol

Over 120 votes and exactly NOBODY voted for the entertainment and only 3 people voted for the dining room. Very interesting!

[RetiredMustang]

I chose "other". Perhaps Greg (revneal) captured some of what I find the best: the first morning, early, before dawn, when DW and I go out on deck, or if we have splurged, onto our balcony and watch the sunrise. I smell the Ocean, lifebringer, and see the sky lighten and sip coffee and commune with my very most significant other, so significant that others pale to the backgound. We marvel at the world and its wonders, and watch the water change from gray to sapphire, and the sun break on limitless horizon, and are glad of heart. It is addictive, and I want to do it tomorrow!

All of it- everything posted and more. But I chose "seeing the ship for the first time," because no matter how stressed I am at that moment I am just in awe.

[cruznon]

All the moments mentioned are special, but stepping onto the ship, is the wonderful moment for me. All the planning and anticipation is now real and I feel so fortunate to be cruising again!

[chasetf]

Walking across the gangway and into the ship - Because I know the whole cruise is just ahead of us. :D ;)

[calisota]

Finishing work and going to sleep. :o

 

But I guess I have a different perspective. :D

Sailaway..........The ship's horn blows, and I know I have a week of fun and relaxation...........

[Freedom55]

I guess that gangway moment wins!!!!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Definitely walking across the gangway and getting on the ship..

[P0077mhg]

The formal nights: people dressed up, smiling, the smell of perfume, the beautiful surrondings, the sea outside - like in a movie, but this is real: it´s your real life!

[Wineguys]

Walking across the gangway - just not saying which direction :p

[ILoveScotland]

I voted "other" because the best moment for me is standing at the rail on deck (or balcony) and feeling the sea breeze and looking out to the horizon and seeing nothing but water. I think that's what heaven might be like for me.

[Palms2Pines2Sea]

Best single cruise moment - and the most cathartic one too - is casting off the lines and being completely at sea. No longer tethered to land. Free at last.

Good one! I agree

[AlohaPride]

Up in the Crow's Nest, sipping our frozen drinks at sail away, watching the N.Y. skyline get smaller & smaller, while passing the Statue of Liberty & going under the Verrizzano Bridge:):):) that to us is pure bliss:)

 

Cruising with friends is one of my favorite moments. ;)

[Freedom55]

Only one person chose the entertainment. Is that a refection of poor quality or is it just farther down the priorites list?

Entertainment is also a 'land activity', once in the theater a person could be an land, or at sea.
