TwinMamainMN Posted August 4, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sigh, take a breath, smile, and say "thank you" to the first crew member that says "welcome aboard!" and all those afterward too. Then find a bar and order a cocktail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booplesnoople Posted August 4, 2019 #37 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Plan of attack for when we board: 1. Make a break for the laser tag sign-ups. 2. Grab an umbrella drink from the nearest possible source. 3. Walk the entire ship, top to bottom, and find absolutely everything if interest. 4. Get everything put away in cabin. 5. Snag a bed in the Solarium and wait for sail away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted August 4, 2019 #41 Share Posted August 4, 2019 1. Check out the deals as we board on deck 4 2. Grab a bite in Windjammer and head for the Pool Bar. 3. First drink of the cruise is always a Mojito or something similar But I always visit Bolero's as soon as the Mojitos become available. 4. Go to room after announcement and try to locate luggage. We always unpack between boarding and Mustard Drill if possible. I run a very tight ship, so our room is always put in ship shape straight away and kept that way till disembarking...the steward always loves us! 5. Another stop at the bar, where ever right after Mustard and then to enjoy the drink on our balcony for Sail Away. I will repeat in about 34 days...Symphony here we come! Woohoo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderista Posted August 4, 2019 #42 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Last time, I boarded early and managed to avoid crowds in the WJ. This time, we might need to check on our seating arrangements at dinner because I am traveling in a group. I like hanging out on the decks and walking around while looking at the skyline. Beyond that, I'll explore the ship, read and maybe head to the pool if I plan for it. I'll start using whichever drinks package I go for. It will probably be Refreshment with the occasional other drink. I'm not too worried about the crowds but I will make use of my phone while near the shore. If the WJ is too full, I'll look around.

I thought I'd dialed an 800 number (868) but the operator in St. Kitts transferred me to the central rez line. But unbeknown to me, I guess she was still involved somehow, because the next day the charge for an international call appeared. We called and explained all and the ATT rep removed the charge completely....remember, you have not because you ask not! So always ask, the worst they can say is no!

powelweb Posted August 4, 2019 #44 Share Posted August 4, 2019 On Anthem, I went to the Music Hall to make the reservations I couldn't get online for the Escape Room and to also release some times for our group's Ifly when they understood what it was, and said they only wanted to watch and not do it themselves, so I wanted to make those times available for others to book instead of having to wait in the standby lines. then I met up with our party for lunch and we headed to bumper cars and then the muster drill before sailaway.

Even if the phone does connect to Cellular at Sea, I leave data roaming off so have never gotten an unexpected charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask but getting charges for an 800 number call removed is much more likely than getting international roaming charges removed. For one thing, the roaming charges come from the roaming carrier and they expect to be paid regardless. Roaming charges don’t normally get removed.

Angelfsh131 Posted August 4, 2019 #47 Share Posted August 4, 2019 This is my 3rd cruise and first on Oasis so I imagine it will be a lot of wondering around with a drink in my hand wondering what I should be doing😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
