watching the sunset on deck with the drink of the day with the person you love and knowing you are going to have a great dinner and not have to cook or clean up afterwards

I love the sea days when I can just kick back and relax. Most of all I don't have to do any cooking, wash dishes, making beds, cleaning, etc. Being on a cruise ship always makes me feel like a queen for a day (each day).

My hubbie loves all the good meals he gets ( I am not a good cook).

Without a doubt it would have to be all the different people I meet.

Definitely the sea days. No work to do, no phones to listen to, food galore, and drinks served to me. And seeing all the other great cruisers having a great time too. Life is to short. We need to enjoy as much as we can.

Happy Cruising to All!

Another vote for sea days here....ports can be nice, but I love sailing on the ships and having no obligations (plus casinos are open all day!!)

sometimes, my favorite part is when we embark and see that beautiful ship and know what is ahead.....

Visiting the ports and sea days are a tie for me

I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!!

I love it all. I love the "fun days at sea"....I love tropical ports of call....I love having wonderful food that I dont have to cook...I love having someone else make the bed and clean the bathroom....I love meeting new people and seeing new places....

Sea days for me! But I have to agree with Pebbs. I also love the day of embarkation when you see the ship for the 1st time and having that anticipation of whats to come!

Eating diner...It ended up being a 2 hour event pf laughing and chatting each night.

#16 (**permalink**) April 29th, 2004, 05:09 PM

I have to say everything. Especially not missing the phone ringing......I love being in the open seas, mostly at night, in my husbands arms, just watching the stars and the moon.........I also love watching my children having the time of their life. I love the formal nights.........I am a people watcher and it's pretty amazing to see some of the outfits people actually wear.............Meeting so many new people. We usually make friends and we've been in touch over the years..There's always food, so you never go hungry.I can keep going on and on, however, I won't.
Happy cruising!!

Dinner. Hands down. Highlight of my day, every day! The remarkable dining room staff made it so.

BTW - I prefer port days to sea days. I loved visiting different destinations!

I love the ports. Like to see different areas. Of course I like being pampered too.

I love sitting by the railing watching the beatiful blue water. It was so relaxing. We only had an oceanview cabin last time, but this time we have a private balcony. After hearing everyone say how great it is, I can't wait til my husband and I are sitting out there watching the water and enjoying each other.

The sail away party at the pool. Those first beers, listening to the music, checking out all the people and the anticipation of the great time I am going to have.

My favorite part of a cruise is the moment you leave the dock. That is when you and the ship become one. Thrilling!!!!!!!!!

#28 (**permalink**) May 23rd, 2004, 03:33 PM

Sitting and watching the awesome caribbean blue water flow by as the ship gently makes
it's way to our next exciting port of call.
Happy Cruising.......

Drinking the first cup of sunrise coffee on the first sea day, overlooking the wake of a Fantasy class ship.

I may dwell on the land, but I live at sea!

Sensation 2/03 I disembarked, but never really left the ship.
Enchantment 9/03 Just had to go back.
Inspiration 3/04 Just have to go back again, and again, and again...
Sensation 04/05 The vessel made me do it!
