What I loved (and hate) about My Cruise

What I loved (and hate) about My Cruise -

What think means the nomadic backpack trip he continued? IT WAS FANTASTIC. It was so pleasant that when it came to go home, I can not let them go. I missed it. I was surprised, because before I went, I did not really have high expectations for my cruise. Finally, a cruise ship is simply a floating resort. What could all sit around and be relaxing really? Would not it be boring

Obviously not

I think make cruises for summer holidays ?. Everything is taken care for you, and you just need to show up for dinner. And that's exactly what my cruise experience was like. It was a buffet, cheesy entertainment, drink a lot, and large amounts of time filled the pool. A cruise was pretty much everything I thought it would be.

But who would have known that can be so much fun! Not only did I find the whole experience fascinating and a great opportunity to people watch, but I actually liked on the ship to be yourself.

I wanted to stay longer.

What I liked

• Starbucks - the possibility of my iced lemonade to get every day to the gym? , Blissful
• The fitness center - Going to be able to actually going to the gym every day? For even more blessed. (Although I went only three times.)
• The buffet - So many food options, so much to eat. The ship had everything I've ever wanted, including a large salad bar. I think I ate that week healthier on the cruise when I in months
• Sushi -. The Oasis of the Seas had a Japanese restaurant and capable of my sushi fix to get middle of the ocean was heavenly
• The friendly staff -. the members of the staff on the boat were absolutely amazing. The bartender at the Schooner Bar was hilarious; our room attendant was friendly and helpful, and dropped my million requests for improvement. But the real winner is our dining companions, I had some of the best servers had in recent memory. They made an excellent entertainment, it was interesting to learn about their lives in India, and in total took good care of my friend and me. They earned that extra tip
• The rising tide bar - In the middle of the ship, there is a small bar which 19,459,013 between 5 ^th and 8 [bewegt ] th deck. Cheesy but surprisingly fun
• The adventure area -. Rock walls, mini golf, and wave pool = fun
• Late night dining . - Pizza at 3:00? Dessert at 1:00? You had me at
• The comfortable beds "Please make me fat." - I did not expect much from the accommodation of the boat, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well I slept. The bed featured one of these foam mattresses, and I wanted to get up rarely
• The Casino -. I actually have most of my friends at the casino bar. It turned out to be one of the best spots to meet people
• Daily Trivia Contest -. A daily chance to show my knowledge of obscure facts for cheesy prices? Very good (I in a Mr. Burns voice say).

What I do not like

• The lack of a movie theater - They played movies in the outdoor theater once a day, but why not there was an operating theater on the boat be? If this is an entertainment complex on the water, why can not we go to the movies? It's not like people are hiding in their room 24/7. It would have been nice with some popcorn and a flick to take a break from the sun. Come, Royal Caribbean (RCCL), Disney cruise ships have
• Not enough pool area - 00 people on the ship, and there are four small pools that were always crowded and noisy. Seems like this would have been the most obvious thing to conclude, if you are a new ship design
• Hairspray: The Musical - RCCL pays to have a lot of money, to show Tony Awards this occupation, do what you could see on the boat. But really when I saw the show on the boat, all I could think was "this sucks!" Poor casting, bad voices, bad everything.
• as nickel-and-dimed - When I went on my cruise years mainly (except alcohol) seemed to be involved. Now it seems that everywhere you go, things cost extra. RCCL really knows how to take you money, with shopping sales, additional restaurants, expensive on- and off-board activities, for Soda Shop ($ 45 US dollars for a week!), And $ 4 bottles of water.
• No free water in Labadee - private recreation area of ​​RCCL in Haiti only free water during midday despite the Cruise Log had, would be that the water to say provided. Apparently they mean for a fee. It seems dangerous, when temperatures are 0+ degrees
• Small showers - The bathrooms in the rooms were a bit small. You could fit into them, but there was no stretches
• The buffet Close -. I did not get why the buffet for an hour in the middle of the day closed. What happened to all-day buffets! How will I get fat if the buffet is closed?

My friend Jason asked if I would go back on a cruise. And you know what, I would. In a heartbeat. Before I left, I wondered if I'd hate my cruise. Would I be able to cope with such a sanitized driving environment? Would I to relate to people in a position whose idea of ​​"travel" is a trip to Señor Frogs

I have - and I also enjoyed myself. While it is not perfect was (never something), the ride was not the terrible experience that I thought it had a chance to be. I am a convert cruise now and will soon go back to a.

Because sometimes it is good to escape from the normal routine. Sometimes you just want to sit with a frozen drink in hand around and get a tan.

And it turns out, a cruise is the perfect place for it.

Note : Royal Caribbean covered the cost of my trip.
