Favorite Little Thing!

[pattyj 1204]

I love sitting on the deck reading and people watching. The thing I loved most about my Med. cruise was sailing into Venice. I can close my eyes and still see the sights and hear everyone ooooh and ahhhh. Another plus is being able to share my cruise experience with my residents and family. I work in a Nursing Home and everyone is anxious to hear about and see my cruise photos. Thanks for the posting.

Cruises are the only vacation where I never go near a computer or use my cell phone. There is something very special about being able to totally focus on the joy of the moment without thinking about every day life in the real world.

I enjoy so many things posted but have not seen towel art.

Call me a kid at heart. I love the towel art on my bed at night. The hanging monkey is great. I love the legs under the bed with the shoes. I really believe the cabin stewarts get a big kick out of doing this and we should let them know how much fun we think it is.

I think I will take my own advice and let them know on my next cruise verbally how much of a smile they put on my face!

My favorite things are going to the martini bar before dinner. It is even better if Sudi is the bartender. He was on our Constellation cruise and now I hear he is on Century. Now if I could only fit in another cruise with him, that would be heaven.

Taking a nap in the afternoon on our aft balcony. We never get to nap in the daytime at home. Life is very hetic and to be able to do nothing at all is wonderful. Listening to the sea is so sooothing. Pat

Ok Monica...You better look over that post.....I think you missed something.....:D

Just kidding.

AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAITED TO GO TO THE MARTINI BAR FOR A POTATO BASED VODKA GIBSON....:cool:

Jarronwood,

I'm not sure if you are pulling my leg or not so I will be kind...:D

A vodka and cola is a way to get a buzz and that is about it. Usually consists of bar vodka...yuk...and coke.

Potato based vodka is something that is not even made any more in the US and a lot of other places in the world. It is distilled from potatos instead of grain. Their are still a few vodkas that are made from beets...yum-yum...hard to find.:cool:

It is a treat to find a cruise line that even handles it. Let alone the fact that Celebrity the last time I cruised with them had 4 types.

A Gibson is the same thing as a Martini (gin or vodka) may be used.

The difference is a Gibson's garnish is two to three pickled onions instead of olives or lemon twists.

You can actually enjoy the flavor of the vodka.:eek:

Hope that helped.

Flushing whilst seated...what a thrill!

1. Leaving or returning to NYC past Lady

Liberty. It still can bring tears of pride

and joy to the eyes.

 

2. Finally winning a little in the casino...

winning a lot is even better.

 

3. Meeting people from all over the

world, sharing a meal, a drink, or just

some time with them.

 

4. Taking our grandchildren on their

first cruise and watching them have a

real blast....and behaving like ladies

and gentlemen.

 

Most of all...happy to still be able to enjoy all of the things mentiioned in this terrific thread. THANK YOU, Monica. And yes, I meant to yell.

I love the "welcome aboard" champagne and the cold towels that await you when you return from your island tour.

I love:

 

1.The second or third day when completely relaxed and settled in, know where I am going on the ship and just pretending that I live there.

 

2. Walking around the ship early in the morning with not too many out and about and just taking in more details and beautiful little things about the ship.

 

3. Having a favorite song from the music playing on the pool deck and hearing it one last time when walking across to breakfast on the last day :(

 

(this is a great topic, thank you.)

[pamkev]

Everything!

 

The best though is all the wonderful friends you make and look forward to sailing with again.

Mmmmmm, after reading this thread it makes me (a cruise virgin) wish Xmas would come a bit quicker.

 

:D :D

One of the best is the anticipation and fun of looking forward to the cruise for months and months.

Planning and anticipating, sometimes up to two years in advance! :)

 

The wonderful personality of our assistant maitre d' on the Summit.

Being greeted by every employee with a smile and a "Good Morning Madam" or "Good Afternoon Madam."

 

Coming back from the Alaska shore excursions to hear Mr. "Happy, Happy, Happy!" greeting everyone on their return.

 

Having drinks brought when I barely have a chance to reach for my cruise card.

 

Oh heck, I even miss the hand sterilizers that are at the entrance to every eating area. I'm washing my hands even more now that I'm home because I miss that sparkly feeling! ;)

Waking up every morning to a knock on the door...breakfast!

 

Jumping in the pool (preferably salt) then getting a burger and fries at the grill.

We love the Aspen Coffee in the Cova Café before we retire for the night.

Won’t be long.:D
