cmukid87 Posted September 19, 2023 #26 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Earliest was probably just before 11am. I was able to be the first at the Red Frog Pub for a free drink boarding just after 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First customer in the Red Frog Pub gets their drink for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We opted to take a shuttle instead of the train due to previous headaches with that system. I believe a number of people had issues, and someone's luggage did not make it with them.

Thanks for the info! DH and I will be taking carry on only so there shouldn't be a luggage issue. I have purchased Frecciabianca tickets from Roma Termini to Civitavecchia Porto with assigned seats so we should have space for our carry ons above us. Arriving for the port shuttle at 3:05 so there shouldn't be any crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzloolue Posted September 19, 2023 #32 Share Posted September 19, 2023 We were first once. There were crew members standing on the stairs singing. I recall a man in a chef's hat. It was nice. I've never seen it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like I had won a prize with so many of the crew singing and clapping. The atrium bartender handed out glasses of sparkling wine. Very festive🥳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted September 20, 2023 #35 Share Posted September 20, 2023 On the Sunshine last year, we were on board having a Fun Ship drink of the day about 10:45am. We didn't have FTTF or any special perks. We were about the 30th on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrounds Posted September 21, 2023 #36 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Around 10:00 on the old Conquest out of New York. The ship arrived empty and my cruisemate and I were PLATINUM and at the front of the list. I think a wedding party boarded before us, but we had an empty ship when we boarded. Great for picture taking. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a short 4 day cruise, so we did carry on instead of checked baggage. 9:14 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
