Dinner time on embarkment day

[gcbranscome]

Hi! What is the best time to make dinner reservations on the first day of your cruise for MTD. We sail away at 4:00, so I don't want to miss any festivities, but when do you have the safety drill?

Might help to know the ship and embarkation port.

I would think anything after 5 will allow you to fully enjoy sail away. The safety drill is usually just before you pull away. On Allure last year the safety drill was done and before I could get from the theater to the top deck we were already moving.

Typically when I've sailed with Royal Caribbean the muster drill has been 30 minutes before departure time.

It's the Oasis leaving from Port Canaveral.

Looks like muster is at 4pm. I'd say anytime after 5:30pm would work.

In Port Canaveral you are out to sea pretty quickly so dinner will not be impacted unless there's a delay. Muster is usually 1/2 hour to 45 min before departure.

When we were on Oasis, the show (Hairspray at that time. I think it's Cats now) was at 8:45. If you are considering going to that show, keep that in mind so that you re done with dinner in time.

Probably to make sure all passengers have boarded, since all passengers are supposed to take part in the muster drill. At least we don't have to take our life vests anymore to these drills.

If you like the welcome aboard show, keep in mind it is usually only one time, and slightly earlier than the usual late show (7 or 7:30). Might want to plan around being done dinner in time for that as well.
