Cakemeister Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I think I'll get our picture taken as we walk from the boarding area to the ship. We never do that, it'll be a form of celebration.

Ampurp85 Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 My first time back, Oct 31st on Allure, will be with 3 newbies in a GS. My first thing will be to hopefully enjoy cookies in the suite lounge. Then it will be to sit on the balcony and enjoy the sights as we leave. Watching embarkment from my balcony is my most favorite thing. PhantomWolf and DJsMrs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOasis Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 The first thing I'm going to do is just stand on promenade of Symphony thank the good Lord and just take it all in. This my sound cliche but I'll be a lot more appreciative because this situation has opened my eyes to how quickly a government agency can take away our ability to cruise. Afterwards I'm heading straight to Windjammers or Park Cafe to eat. coneyraven and PhantomWolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof4crazytocruise Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 First stop Schooner Bar for a roadie, the up to the top deck to soak in the sun and offer up a prayer of thanks to the Cruise gods that I came out of this in one piece and that I am finally back to my favorite vacation. Then lunch, and then it's frozen mojitos on repeat on the pool deck until I feel bold enough to line dance at the sail away party.

HEADLINE NEWS: Passengers blocking the entrance to a cruise ship delayed embarkation. They were reportedly by the promenade next to the entrance, taking it all in.

coneyraven Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'll probably start crying just by seeing the gangway .... although, the cheerleader in me just might have to come up with something to get everyone in line riled up...... let the party start in the terminal and carry over to the actual boarding of the ship --- Give Me an "O", Give Me and "A", and so on. I'd do a Faceplant into a plate of Escargot if given the chance. PhantomWolf, JimnKathy, WesKinetic and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floski Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Oh man.... With this Sicilian blood, I guarantee I'll be boo-hooing my fat butt off, probably as I walk the gangway. 1) Get a squirt of sanitizer (i can't stand the stuff, but I'm all in for cruising) B) Take in such a huge breath that people within 100' will feel the breeze headed toward me 3) Get a drink (still not sure what'll be first (kraken colada, painkiller, mai tai?) 4) Walk through Central Park, grab a second drink and maybe a sammich, and head up to the Solarium. 5) Give the Solarium bar tender a tip first, then get a drink and hit the hot tub. I hope to stay in until dinner. PPPJJ-GCVAB, PhantomWolf, coneyraven and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmef Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Feeling the tears well up already!!! I can't wait, August will be here before I know it and I'll be boarding and hopefully watching sail away from my balcony with a fruity drink in hand! cruisellama and PhantomWolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesKinetic Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Give a big hug and a big tip to the first bartender I see, and then head to the helipad with a drink in hand. cruisellama and PhantomWolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuttMutt Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Once on the ship with my gear stowed I plan to do as little as possible and outside of my dive excursions I'm not going to do much planning either. teddy, cruisellama and PhantomWolf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife I have love the responses thus far, especially tears for joy, drink of the day, etc. We're seriously considering getting a $50 in singles, writing "We're so glad we're back, THANK YOU!" and handing each out to members of the crew we see -- greeters, cleaning crew, flow rider staff, soft serve attendants, Washy Washy staff, etc. We can't wait for our 11/14/21 Allure trip with family and friends.

GatorCruiser Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 This is a fantastic thread. I’m going on odyssey in December. First cruise since November 2019 symphony cruise which was simply sublime. Man I miss the trellis bar. God I love cruising!!!
