BrianB Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I’ll never disrespect a crew member…and I’ll never NOT go out of my way to show my appreciation for my cabin attendant, my servers and every other crew member who work their butt off for months at a time, away from their families, without a single day off. I believe that the crew really does make the cruise. Oh, yeah……I’ll never do karaoke (I think there’s an international injunction against me singing in public, something about crimes against humanity)…I’ll never do the belly flop contest (I’d feel guilty causing so much laughter-induced pain)….and I’ll never NOT love cruising!!

coneyraven Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I will Never do the Rock Climbing Wall .... I'd probably look like a Spider Monkey, and that just wouldn't be pretty. I agree with many of the other folks, I'll never remove tips, in fact, I usually add to them, I'll probably never do the Flowrider, however, I DO love Zip Lines, so, I'm good there. I'll never be in the fray of the T-Shirt Sale (although my wife loves them) I'll probably never have a Suite, unless it's HUGE and we split it with another couple.... we are totally happy in an Interior or Ocean View.... even a balcony is considered an "extra" that isn't a requirement. 4ensic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We met someone about 8 years ago who only packed a carryon for a 11 day cruise. He and his wife always asked for robes the first day and that is all they would wear the rest of the cruise. We did see him talking to someone just off of the cruise ship in one port with only a robe on. WOW. His name was Todd and we call him "The Todd" to this day.

Shari Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Oh and I would never get a drink at the bionic bar. Went on an 11 day cruise with the bionic bar, thought about it the first day but it was over crowded. After the first day it was empty so decided it must not be worth it.

alamode123 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I guess I'm in the minority, but I love the art auctions. I love Disney, and bought two prints last cruise that were about half the price they would be at Walt Disney World. But you have to know your prices and budget going in.

sk8erguy1978 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Let's see. Not on the cruise but I'll never fly in the day of embarkation. As long as I drink alcohol I'll never not get the drink package and never pay onboard price. (Is that a 2 for 1 never?) Otherwise, I hate the word never, life's too short ... look like an arse at karaoke, the flow rider, or anything else. I have no interest in doing the belly flop, but hey, sometimes you just end up in situations ... enjoy that moment. That's how we ended up being team leads in the quest one cruise. While I'd love to say "never do that again" honestly, if it happens it happens LOL. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that - never say never... especially after Covid. There are things that I said I would never do on a cruise and after missing cruising for so long I've warned they family that we're doing ALL OF IT! lol Except cupcake making, sushi, and guacamole classes. I know I will not go to art auction. I will also not go on flowrider as have lifelong issues with my knees, and I only drink 1 or 2 drinks daily. The rest is usually water or maybe a coke.

Baked Alaska Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Eat a hamburger, hotdog, chicken strips, or french fries. Never on a cruise ship.
