Best time to arrive on embarkment day? questions...

[Reenie75]

Hello all,

 

First time sailing with MSC. Normally I travel just with my daughter (age10) we would arrive at noon have lunch and go to the Lido deck to swim and all. Maybe a bit of a walk around the ship where we are allowed. In the past the room would be available about 2pm and the ships I've been on normally left at 4PM. This trip is with my sister and her 3 kids (ages 9-7-5) YAY:hearteyes:, never been on vacation, plane, boat or anything.;p I noticed the Divina leaves at 7PM :o.

When to do you suggest to arrive and how much of the boat is available?

What about the cabins when are they available?

When does the Kids club open?

When is the muster drill?

Do the have a sail away party???

Kinda sucks about leaving at 7pm cause we are normally at dinner... altho with the beautiful boat and sunshine we are going to make the best out of it!:cool: 16 days to go!

It seems boarding generally starts at 11:30 - subject to usual disclaimers. As I remember everything else was pretty close to your previous experiences and assumptions. I don't remember details of exact times, etc.

They start boarding around noon, rooms ready 130, drill about 430.

Divina last week we were YC and boarded around 11:45. Plenty of people in other lines checking in. Our rooms were ready when we got on board but others IDK.

 

Muster 4:30 and kind of a cluster.
