IsanTom Posted June 9, 2016 #30 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Usually we head straight to our cabin, drop of our bags, call home and get ready for the muster drill. Our last cruise was the first that we actually boarded the ship early enough for lunch! We had time to roam around and watch other passengers boarding. I liked that. So, we'll likely do that again on the next one. Why do you call home? You just left home and your on a vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangoer1973 Posted June 10, 2016 #31 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Drop my bag in the room, and I start to put that drink package to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho_proudfoot Posted July 23, 2016 #32 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Drop my bag in the room, and I start to put that drink package to work. This. Plus a quick trip to the MDR to locate our table, so we can just breeze in that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beltane Posted August 13, 2016 #33 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Very first thing is ALWAYS go to the closest bar to the beautiful main foyer/lobby and get a gin and tonic, sit and relax and people watch while we enjoy it. We are usually exhausted from an early morning flight, transport, etc. That G&T goes down beautifully! Then, if we are early, we go find some lunch, if we are later and our cabin is most likely ready, we check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBFURR Posted August 22, 2016 #34 Share Posted August 22, 2016 With us it depends on the ship. It there is a royal promenade we usually walk down and look & maybe grab a snack at the cafe. We usually board before the rooms are open so we can't visit the cabin. We used to go see our MDR assignment but my time dining eliminates that. If we wanted soda packages we would sign up for them, but do that online now. If none of the above apply it is straight to the pool bar for the first drink.

Ery Posted August 28, 2016 #35 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Depends on the ship. We generally skip the promenade where em everyone is hanging out, grab a cocktail and head to park Cafe for a beef on weck. Stop at solarium bar get a fresh drink and hit the empty infinity hot tubs and start relaxing!!

GUT2407 Posted September 15, 2016 #39 Share Posted September 15, 2016 If we can. Find our cabin Drop our carry on bags. Wander the ship, getting a drink each bar along the way. Have lunch. Muster. Sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamencacha Posted September 15, 2016 #40 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) My Cabin has always been ready. After checkin, pick up a welcome cocktail, or get one from bar en route to cabin. Unless there is an issue at guest services( luggage lost by airline) that first, then cocktail. Drop off Carry-on unless all luggage is there then I unpack. Explore the ship waiting for muster drill. If hungry grab a snack before dinner at a table for two and play with my phone. I travel SOLO. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] But most of all I thank God for my ability to cruise.

lostcanadian Posted December 31, 2016 #44 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Possibly rushing to guest services for a day spa pass or posh lounge day pass since apparently they run out fast on the NCL Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted January 8, 2017 #45 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Movermutts- the shops and casinos won't be open when you board. However, some of the restaurants/bars will be open :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising...our happy place Posted January 27, 2017 #46 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Drop off carry-on in cabin. Put wallet and passports in safe. I like just carrying a cabin key and nothing else. We send a couple photos of ship back home... to make em all jealous. Sent from my iPhone using Forums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Patriot Posted February 4, 2017 #47 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Go straight to the cabin and chill out while my OCD husband unpacks everything and puts it away exactly the way he wants it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rccampbell Posted February 12, 2017 #48 Share Posted February 12, 2017 My wife and I, going on our 7th cruise in 11 days, have developed a nice ritual for the first few hours. We normally board several hours ahead of time and head straight to our cabin and unpack our hand luggage. We also meet our room steward(s) at this time. For us, time in the cabin at any time during the cruise is a necessary evil, so we unpack properly but quickly. We then excitedly explore the boat from end to end. We then have a light buffet lunch, do other unpacking if the main luggage has arrived, do the Muster Drill, then race as fast as we can to top deck ready for the sailaway party! We always just watch the dancing but, this time, we're doing Nutbush ourselves! Newbies here again.......what actually happens at Sail Away Party? Is this an everybody party or a class party? Thanks!

norcalnick Posted March 4, 2017 #50 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Head straight to our stateroom and I sanitize everything that we might touch (i.e. remote control, light switches, flat surfaces, door handles, etc) with Clorox disinfecting wipes, which I have in my carry on. I don't have OCD, I just work in hospitality and know too much for my own good! :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
