I am looking forward to that special feeling onboard a ship in the Med....you know...when you have had a great day in port, have come back onboard and showered and dressed for dinner, and sat down with friends and family (near a window ;) ) for dinner to discuss the amazing feeling of touching a piece of history in Europe, and realizing " Oh, the ship is moving! We will wake up in a new port of discoveries and memories!" and then realizing how blessed we are to partake in this wonderful adventure we call life! :) Any day on the Royal will most certainly be an amazing day...

[gracie65]

I am looking forward to my first view of the Piazza when I board the ship. Will be an awesome experience. No matter how many times I cruise, the newness is still there. With the new Royal, I feel the excitement brewing just waiting for my turn in October!

 

Thanks for starting this positive thread. A new ship, a new day, a new dawn! Life doesn't get much better! :p

 

I know what you mean Lynda if I am getting on a old ship or a newer one I still have that excitement brewing but I am even more excited about this one!!

Thanks for popping in Shogun, hope you are having an awesome cruise!!

I think I did the multi quote thing but I think it may be per page because I thought I clicked more then one of the symbols!!

[gracie65]

I know! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!:D

 

Thanks those are some of the best Piazza images I have seen!!

 

I'm looking forward to:

Another new ship this year!

The Piazza

The IC (finding out what y'all have been raving about)

The balcony with a floor, instead of plastic mats

The pastry shop

The Sanctuary (with its greatly reduced prices)

 

and, most of all, discovering those surprises that we can't anticipate!!

 

Upcountry, I don't think I have read anything about your description of the balcony floors. I don't recall being on a ship where they were plastic mats.

[gracie65]

Oh my gosh - Thank You' date=' Thank you, Thank you. Three clicks and I'm typing a reply. So much faster/easier than the clumsy way I was doing it. CC people are the [u']best[/u]!

 

Gracie - I hope you read this far before you attempt a multiple-quote posting. Unfortunately, I don't think I can delete my earlier post.:(

 

Kay

 

Yes, isn't that great glad he told us how to do it. I did just figure it will only do one page at a time though you can't click the button for multiple pages. Still saves on posting so many individual posts but hey I would like to get to 5000 so maybe I shouldn't multi-post as much!!LOL

There's something else I'm looking forward to that I don't have to wait until I'm on the ship to experience. I can't wait to read the wonderful reviews that will be posted by the many members of CC that have posted here in this thread when they've returned from their cruises! :D

[Me3]

I'm positively looking forward to counting down the days (only 145 left) until I board....

Nice to see such positive things about the Royal. I still have one year to go. With all these positive things about the ship who could complain? New everything waiting for exploration. The thought of being away from work for two weeks just brings a big smile to me. Gracie65 has a great list going. #83. New Magnet for Dave. I can put that on my list.

All enjoy your cruises.

I'm positively looking forward to counting down the days (only 145 left) until I board....

Sue we are on the November 10 sailing and I think it is even less than 145 now 141. See you on that sailing unless you are on November 17 then you have a few more days to go

Edited June 22, 2013 by donna travels

[Me3]

Sue we are on the November 10 sailing and I think it is even less than 145 now 142. See you on that sailing unless you are on November 17 then you have a few more days to go

 

OMG, Donna, you could be right. I'd Better get a count-down clock....I think 145 is probably wishful thinking on my part !! :o

 

Dave, if you are out there, what is your countdown to Dec 1? Then I'm +7.

 

Thx,

Sue

 

p.s. I just found a countdown - 169 is my number....yes, really WAS wishful thinking !!

Well said. I couldn't agree more! I hope you are not too badly affected by the flooding in Alberta.

I'm really looking forward to all these things and more. While I will be a little down about the lack of a proper promenade, I no longer down about the smaller MB mini balcony I had. Yesterday I saw that a S2 was available. Decided to take the plunge and ditch the smaller balcony. Now I'm really looking forward to the cruise, not that I wasn't before, but now I'm just a tad more excited.....:):):)
