Meet and Mingle

If you are prone to motion sickness I understand green apples and drinking ginger ale helps.

 

The OS has a dining table and you can order regular room service or from the MDR menu free of charge. The MDR menu will be in a folder on the coffee table and your room steward will switch out every day for that day's menus.

Thanks, I think we might just make use of that, a shame not to really

When you first board, the crowds can be overwhelming - at least until everyone gets into their cabins. Know that this is not how the entire cruise will be. It will calm down in a few hours.[/quote ]Thanks I will remember that

When you board, if you go in the WJ either chops or Giovanni's will be reserved for suite guests to dine in. It will be less crowded than in the main WJ.

Thanks for this tip

This will be my first cruise and I cant wait. Anyone else booked on this one ?

Thanks for all the tips, I will keep checking and doing my research. Cruise is a bit off, but I am OCD when it comes to arranging things and like as much time as possible to sort myself out. I will not get stressed .

Since this is your first trip on a ship, you are not sure whether you get seasick or not, plan to bring some over-counter seasick stuffs. One of them is called Bonine, you can get them at most local stores and pharmacy. Better to have them and not need it rather than need it and don't have it.

 

When I took my wife for the first cruise, didn't know she is prone to motion sickness and she did not know that either, wish that we brought some. Ever since after that first cruise, she always pack them Bonine.

Thanks for that, I am prone to motion sickness so thats a great bit of advice

1. You can be on the ship in most ports by 11am or so. Arrive around 10 or 10:30 to get on as early as possible.

 

2. If you have traditional dining, (applies to first night only) wait at least 5-10 minutes after your dinner time starts to head down there. The first night is a MAD house. They direct folks to their seats so just waiting 5 minutes after doors open, it's less crazy.

 

3. Room service is $7.95 but you can order anything you want for $7.95. There's a bit of a debate on tips because some folks feel it's already included, but if you want to order room service and give a little extra to the delivery person, have dollar bills available. Along the lines of tipping, I didn't know it was customary to tip your shore excursion guide and drivers so we always bring extra cash for that too.

 

4.Don't use the ship's ATM machine...half the time they don't work or they have very expensive fees.

 

5. Muster drill...there is a drill right before you depart. You have to be there.

 

Those were things I did not know.

Many thanks

No show reservations are available on Navigator. Since you are in an OS, you will have access to reserved poolside seating.

Thanks

Hi all, I am going on my first cruise next year (Sept 18) I just wondered what would give as a "good tip" to someone, something you wished you had known before you had taken your first trip on a ship.

I have one question though, I am booked into an OS on the Navigator of the Seas. Is it hard to get sunbeds around the pool. Do I need to book to see a show ? would you advise having a cash or credit card account for your cabin on board.

Many thanks

......we are.....B2B on the Harmony for April 2018 :D

 

Anyone else booked that far in advance?

 

Safe travels to all! :)

Booked for 30 September 2018, cant wait
