marshhawk Posted July 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I know I am on a cruise, when I can throw my carryon stuff in my cabin, find a bar, get a fruity NA drink with umbrella and maraschino cherry, and can just sit. Nothing more to do than sit, until muster drill. Sit and smile.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcoy Posted July 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2016 When I hear that first "ding" of my card being scanned in at boarding! Agree, all the hassle of travel and checking in are complete. Now you can explore the ship and enjoy the cruise. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrufy Posted July 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2016 When I flop down in a lounge chair with lunch and my favorite drink in hand, watching all the happy people mingling on the lido deck. All the anticipation, preperation and travel is behind. This is the point I feel Im really on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
