pamrose228 Posted November 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2013 We are talking about an informal meet up on th Splendor before Sailaway on January 12. Anyone know a perfect place for a group to meet while the ship is still in nyc? Also, what time is the muster drill, would 3:30 b a good time for us to do it?

pungo3 Posted November 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I like having informal meet and greets immediately following Muster Drill. A nice place to meet is Serenity or the Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted November 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2013 If you try to have the M&G before the muster drill it might cut it short. You could have it 2 or 2:30. If after muster drill, you might have problems with people getting ready for 6pm dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our next 3 cruises they are at 2pm. Look at the deck plans. Probably a good place would be the Liner bar on the lido deck aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted November 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Every M&G I have attended has always been the following day. Everyone is too busy on the first day. Why not do a "sail-away" gathering after the muster drill. (ours was 4:15 on the Splendor) These are fun and a great opportunity to meet people. (usually at one of the lido deck bars) so you can see the Statue of Liberty as you cruise by and going under the Verazano Bridge. I think if you have the M&G on the first day, you may not have a very big turn out. IMO:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted November 9, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Most are in the aft bar right after muster drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lace Posted November 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I prefer the fantail before muster. This way you can disburse if things are just not right. And if things are clicking, you can see to meet back up there afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiagolfer Posted November 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2013 On our informal M & G's, we always have the 2nd day. Seems as if too much going on the day you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamrose228 Posted November 9, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for all the replies. A few things that need mentioning. Our cruise leaves out of NYC in mid January so any meeting areas outside are not in question. The roll call has several other events planned formal M&G during second sea day, a poker crawl....etc. This is a gathering for whoever wants to meet up right away. My suggestion is immediately after muster drill by the enclosed pool on Lido. We can even head for dinner together since some of us have ATD. First day dinner is usually very informal since most of us have no luggage. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccruisequeen Posted November 9, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Most are in the aft bar right after muster drill. Had ours at the aft bar about an hour before muster drill. We had everyone wear mardi gras beads for identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been part of about 15 roll calls and have never seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted November 9, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 9, 2013 January out of NY really needs to be inside! I cruise from Florida and like just after muster at an aft bar. Then another on the first sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiagolfer Posted November 9, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Interesting. We have been part of about 15 roll calls and have never seen that. That too is odd, as all of the ones we have attended, Mardi Gras beads were suggested attire for ID purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
