murfturf Posted February 3, 2015 #29 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I've usually been able to go straight to the cabin, even when we get early boarding. I do remember going to a Crown and Anchor reception once. But usually we get to the very top deck, and find a lounge chair and relax! Also usually hit the Sky Bar too! Once we went to our room right after muster and took a nap! Woke up and the ship was moving. Ha - missed sail-away but isn't relaxing the point of a vacation!

luddite Posted February 4, 2015 #32 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Newbie here..... what are the first things you do when you get on the ship? Find out if the pub has any decent beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Turgidson Posted February 4, 2015 #33 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Check out cabin and obstructed view, leaving carry on behind we explore the ship, spending a lot of time on lido deck, until out of port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted February 5, 2015 #34 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Drop off my luggage and hug a cabin wall. Check out various public areas with excited shrieks then head up for some food and a strong cocktail. I then comment on the passenger demographic to my hubby while taking in the port view..

Laughing Angel Posted February 5, 2015 #35 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm ready to start the party from the time I get onboard. I usually (in this order): 1. Throw my bags in the cabin. 2. Take a quick peek out on the balcony (or oceanview). 3. Go confirm any reservations for specialty restaurants or MDR seatings. 4. Enjoy a refreshing adult beverage while having lunch in the MDR. :D Fun times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMR555 Posted February 5, 2015 Author #36 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I give my DW a big hug and kiss and say, "Sweet Baby" we're on vacation. :D I love it! Whenever we go on vacation as soon as we leave our driveway we look at each other and say "we're bound!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMR555 Posted February 5, 2015 Author #37 Share Posted February 5, 2015 On which cruise line will you be sailing? Some cruise lines allow us to immediate access to our cabin, others don't. That does make a difference in what we do first. :) LuLu LuLu ... we will be going on our first cruise December 5, 2015 on Norwegian Escape! Very excited!

mferranti Posted February 6, 2015 #41 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The very first thing I do after I board the ship is move out of the way so other people can board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted February 6, 2015 #42 Share Posted February 6, 2015 We board early, so the rooms aren't usually ready. We head to the Windjammer. We then check the MDR to locate our table. By that time our cabin is ready and we head there to drop off our carrry-on bag with our wine. After checking out what's going on from our balcony, we head to the pool deck for a fruity drink.

Cru1s1ng2009 Posted February 10, 2015 #50 Share Posted February 10, 2015 head to find a table in the shade on deck, get lunch, and a DOD. Kids wear their swimsuits so they can get in the water. Then we search for our table, go make reservations, I try to unpack everything because I HATE to see suitcases. Then it is about time for muster:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
