What is something new you will do or try to do on your next cruise?

[Truck Cruiser]

We try to do something new on every cruise. Last cruise we went to a resort in Jamaica that had a nude beach, that was great. Next cruise I want to make love to my wife either on our balcony or the Lido deck.

 

Don't look at me that way, thats what you all were thinking too, I was just brave enough to say it!:p

[cruznjan]

Zip line eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!:eek:

 

Me too!

Nobody said they were going to join the "Balcony Club"?

Or is that just a given? :D

On your balcony, OK. But I hope not on the Lido deck.

 

This is a true story...A number of years ago, a couple were apparently misbehaving late at night out by the hot tub. Apparently they were having a friend take pictures of them. Now, this was years before everyone had a digital camera, and the way they got caught was because they took their film to the ship's photo shop to be developed. (LOL)

 

The ship's staff was furious, and the couple got put off the ship in Curacao and had to pay their own way home.

I want to do the zipline.

And I will try to use the stairs instead of the elevator

so the extra lbs won't follow me home.;)

[GORDONCHICK]

My last cruise, I finally took a lot of food photos! No one could eat until photos of everything were taken! Now, I'd like to actually journal. I've tried this a couple of times, and I just end up finding much more interesting things to do.........

 

I've tried many different foods while cruising, and escargot is one of them (and I like 'em). I got someone else in our party to try them too, and he likes them. DS discovered he liked crab legs on a cruise a few years ago.

The rock climbing wall. I linger around it, trying to get some courage, then chicken out. It looks like fun, but I have a fear of falling (no, not heights, just falling.) I can just see me getting to the top and unable to propel my way down.

Lol, dare I ask, what's the "Balcony Club" and how do you join? :)

[TicTac#2]

I'm going to take the same book that I took aboard last month for the cruise

next month, but this time I plan on reading more than three pages.

[mactrio]

Lol, dare I ask, what's the "Balcony Club" and how do you join? :)

 

I am "assuming" you join by making love on the balcony of your stateroom.

[krninco]

I am going to try cruising with my child for the first time and also doing the anytime dining.

 

Oh, and I'm trying Carnival for the first time after swearing I never would. (Yes, I was being a snob....)

[Iluvmypuggle]

This is such a great question! I really enjoyed reading everyone's responses.

 

I recently bought a little journal for my upcoming cruise so that's something I'd like to try for the first time while traveling. I'm also planning on taking a tour of a brewery in Bermuda which is something I've never done at home. And last, I plan on taking a lot more pics than usual. I always take pictures but I end up going home and always wishing I had more.

[felinfoggy]

I have never eaten it before I went on my first cruise. And I really liked eatting those snails(as long as I don't have to pull them out of the shells). They remind me of mushrooms. I hope you keep an open mind when you try new things. I am very picky so I understand.

[da brickhouse]

I want to explore every public space on the ship. On my last cruise I was very sick thanks to Hurricane Dolly. I will be prepared with a patch and some ginger pills and nothing will stop me.

[morecruise4me]

Not our upcoming cruise, but the next one I really want to try Scuba diving. My DH has been discouraging me because he thinks I won't be able to handle the weight of the equipment (I have fibromyalgia and don't weigh much). But I've seen people with disabilities scuba, so I think I could do it. I love snorkeling and I think I would really love scuba! Here fishy, fishy, fishy :D

[dapaddo]

I plan on swimming with the stingrays. We have been wanting to try it for the past three crusies but this time we are doing it.;)

[tneah]

I would really like to try climbing the rock wall and go ziplining, but I have a fear of heights. Sometimes I just freeze up and can't move. When I was younger I climbed everything and didn't have this fear, where did it come from?

[linda_22003]

I've been enjoying everyone's answers. On my next cruise, I plan to do some whale-watching, which I've never had the opportunity to do.

 

To the poster who said he/she was going to journal things: great idea! I started doing it on trips a few years ago, and you'll be amazed at how much you capture that otherwise you would forget almost immediately. Take the time to write down more than "Climbed mountain on island." It's the small moments, the conversations with interesting people, which are fleeting unless you capture them.

 

To those who are hesitant about escargot: I adore them. They don't have much of a flavor on their own, they convey other flavors (like garlic butter) to the mouth. If they are chewy, they have been overdone. And I have NO idea what the "popping sound" is that one poster described. I have never encountered that. The shells aren't meant to be eaten. :D

From learning the concept of mortality, no doubt. The young tend to be vague on that. :p

I was kidding, lol :D. There are tons of things I want to try, I would love to zip line and parasail. On the RCL ships I would try the rock climing and flow rider. Now that I'm learning how to swim (I know, I know, I'm old, should be ashamed :o), I would also love to try snorkeling.

[tipsy]

snorkeling for the 1st time. wanted to zipline over the rain forest but DH is afraid of heights and not right to leave him behind on the ground.

[happy_travellers]

Stay on BUDGET! Karen

[michellejed]

We are trying early dinner so we can see the shows!

 

Also want to order room service.(lucky to have a balcony this cruise)

 

Also will try a journal this time.(short term memory here, lol)

 

 

Hope you all enjoy your first!

[jamers22]

We always plan on going to the shows... but end up just hanging out somewhere outside on deck instead. So maybe this time we'll see them.

 

Also, we're planning on swimming with the stingrays... how cool!;)
