Is there anything on a cruise that you dread?

For me it's the life boat drill. Standing on deck all huddled together like sheep with those bulky life jackets. Makes it worse when the temp is 90 F. Then back up the stairs. I wish I could hide in my cabin. As you can see, It doesn't bother my wife at all

Looks like she can make anything fun!

You've got the number one "dread" for me.

The number two is debarkation! Everything in between is all wonderful.

Getting off

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

No, I dont dread anything. If I did I wouldnt be cruising I suppose.

Like Sue and Char has mentioned, getting off the ship is the one thing I dont like to do.
But if I dont disembark how can I look forward to another cruise??!!!

I don't enjoy packing on the last day, and I definitely dread getting off the ship and collecting the luggage.

I totally agree. I think I also don't like packing to leave, means the cruise is ending.
Funny how the same activity can be so exciting (at the beginning) and also a bummer (at the end)!

Hands down for me it is definitely the lifeboat drill. Especially when it's hot outside!!! I was "tipsy" during that last 2 that I attended, it does make it more interesting! lol
