What's the first thing you do?

[lovetocruiserccl]

What's the first thing you do when you get on the ship. I kiss the ground and say that God I made it back. I need a Mohito.

[megr1125]

check my table for dinner...find the maitre d if necessary and then

 

EAT! Windjammer here i come

[jdkey]

Walk around, find the pool bar for the 1st drink and take a picture of us w/ that 1st drink. (always goes in the scrap book.) Then either widjammer or exploring the ship.

[msjaxson]

directly to the pool bar .. do not pass go:) take the first picture with the drink ( see my signature) and then find a nice deck chair and people watch.. love to see the first timers board!!!

[Boo Boo]

1, See if we can get into our cabin

2, Check dining table

3, Speciality restaurant reservations (since they are on the way to the Windjammer), but not this year - have made them online already.

4, Bite to eat the the Windjammer

5, Definitely get rid of the carry on bags at the cabin (if haven't already managed it)

6, Explore!

 

I also like to unpack early - get it over and done with (quickly)

[Lionesss]

I usually start to cry.

We have elderly parents, and I am always fearful something would happen to make us have to cancel our cruise if they would need us.

Once I am on board, cell phones off, and our family back home knows they will see us in 8 days.

Later

[MrsCorL]

i find the nearest foo-foo drink!!!! then i know i am on vacation!!!! now i can't wait till april!!!!

[rcclman1]

Head out to my cabin and check it out then go right to the windjammer!

[Murphy]

1) try to get into our cabin

2) find a mango tango

3) if it is a ship we haven't been on, we go to deck 2 and work our way up to see all decks (skip this step if we've sailed the ship before)

4) when we get to the spa I make a massage appointment

5) we had to the Windjammer for lunch

[Bax]

Order the champagne, glasses, and a bucket of ice to make sure we are ready for sailing. Watching the dock disappear from the rail of our balcony is the big event. And don't forget to unpack the fig newtons to throw to the gulls!

[depplep]

My husband goes for beers and I wait in line to talk to the maitre d', thus killing two birds with one stone.

After that, anything goes. Usually, it involves exploring the ship as we have never been on the same ship twice.

[karisma99]

Go to the cabin, to check it out. Go to Chops and Portofino's to make reservations, eat at the Windjammer. Then start exploring the ship and bar crawling until the muster drill. :)

[Spender Nui]

What's the first thing you do when you get on the ship. I kiss the ground and say that God I made it back. I need a Mohito.

 

If you kiss the ground you must have an awful long reach. I'm trying to picture you leaning all that way from the ship.
