FManke Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 With all the impending doom and gloom of the news today, when it comes to Covid-19 and such, let's look on the bright side. What's your happy place? What's the one spot on any ship, or specific spot on a specific ship that you look forward to when you cruise? Mine is on any ship, at the rail with a cup of coffee in hand at sunrise. Happy cruising! Mrs. RoyalMoyal, Fuzzywuzzy, Neesa and 5 others 6 2 Quote

GregD Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 I have a few. My first happy place, is when we first approach the ship. I love the look on my kids faces when they marvel at the size of the ship. I also enjoy sitting on my balcony early in the morning, coffee in hand just looking out at wherever we happen to be at the time. Bee-rad, Neesa, FManke and 2 others 5 Quote

JLMoran Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 Looking out the aft windows of Two70 Lounge and watching the wake while eating breakfast Sitting on my balcony or the deck 5 promenade walk and watching the cobalt blue ocean go by, with hardly a sound besides the waves lapping against the ship. sk8erguy1978, Fuzzywuzzy, FManke and 3 others 5 1 Quote
sk8erguy1978 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 To choose one is impossible, but I'll limit myself from ranting. When I step aboard for the first time. Balcony, at night, staring into the darkness listening to the sounds of the ocean (and me chomping on midnight pizza). Lounger, listening to pool side music and people watching as I sip whatever adult beverage I've ordered. Most importantly, enjoying private time with my wife on our balcony... Sipping coffee, eating breakfast, having a snack, or just chatting. I'll stop there because I have 99 more (at least). KristiZ, RickinSTL, Fuzzywuzzy and 2 others 5 Quote

Tira04 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 As soon as I step on board, grabbing a coffee and exploring! Also, vintages, anywhere I can grab a quiet chair in the shade to read. Amd best of all quality time with the hubby KristiZ and FManke 2 Quote

Mine is on any ship, at the rail with a cup of coffee in hand at sunrise. Happy cruising! On Oasis class ships, I look forward to having a glass of wine in Central Park while listening to the afternoon or evening performance. On vision class and similar ships, I love to relax in the Centrum or have my coffee on deck 5 watching the sunrise you mentioned. FManke 1 Quote

SteveinSC Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 The moment I step into that ship....instant happy and looking for that first drink in hand.

shaydav19 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 The first is walking in the morning to watch the sunrise on the ocean each day. Then sauna to sweat out the alcohol from the night before. And then a mimosa with breakfast Jill, FManke, JLMoran and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote

ellcee Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 Sitting on a chair on a balcony or anywhere I can see, hear, smell the ocean with my book and a cup of coffee when I'm solo. Being with friends after dinner also on a balcony or anywhere I can see, hear, smell the water with a cocktail, everyone just chatting and getting along after a long happy day. FManke and SteveinSC 2 Quote
Floski Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 I agree with all of the aforementioned answers, but to try and narrow it down: 1) The Solarium. Ohmygosh, I love that place. Especially on the big girls, with it being in the very front of the ship. 1A) Central Park after dinner. A nice drink and soothing music; always a nice breeze and so relaxing. 2) Sitting in the chairs at the stern of the ship on deck 5. Nothing but churning blue and white water.

bhageerah Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 I have several favorite places, hate to say it but first and foremost, is just being on the ship, after that it would be Cafe 270, and my balcony just watching time go by and enjoying the sights! FManke 1 Quote

CruzOnBye Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 I gain more and newer happy places every cruise! The last trip was to Coco Cay, and the entire island was our happy place! FManke and PRebecca 2 Quote
Jill Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 Sipping chocolate martini in Central Park listening to music before heading to bed. Walking on the track (on Oasis class) as we come into port. Stopping at the stern to watch the wake. Sipping mimosas on our balcony having “first breakfast!” FManke 1 Quote
WanderPam Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 Watching sailaway from the Helipad especially if we are sailing away at sunset. Didnt realize how much I love it until I sailed on Harmony and had no access And of course that very first step onto the ship on embarkation day ! FManke 1 Quote
Firefly Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 On Oasis class I love relaxing at the Trellis Bar in Central Park, and coffee and pastries out on the balcony in the morning. On my favorite ship so far, Brilliance of the Seas, I love Schooner Bar and the outdoor couch seating next to Windjammer. Honestly, just being on any cruise is my happy place. Big Tule and FManke 2 Quote
melmar02 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 I get the silly grin as we load the car up at the hotel the morning of the cruise. It gets bigger as we park. And bigger once we're past security and sitting down in the waiting area. You should see me skip up the gangway! On the ship I'm happiest with my book on my balcony, but it's hard to pick a second place. Quote
