What to do first after check in?

Is the faster to the fun option worth it?

Eat and then explore the ship to get your bearings. Make notes of what you want to try, do. Then when your room is ready, unpack, read the daily newsletter to find out what's hapenning, what to expect. Finally, relax whether that be going to a lounge to have a drink or out on the deck.

 

This is exactly what we do for each cruise except we don't unpack until after muster drill since our luggage isn't usually available until then.

You can leave it in it's original packaging it just needs to be in your carry on,

We sailed on the Carnival Magic last month and there was no such requirement. We checked our pop in our suitcase.

I have been wondering about this also. I explained to my husband that we can take soda on 1 12 pack for each and my son who doesnt drink soda gatorade. I then showed him the bottomless program and also explained the soda has to be in our carry on, He says "and Your going to carry all that around until the room is ready"..lol I will probably take a couple of Pepsi for my self though and go with the cardsl. And then after lunch we can wander on the ship or whatever.:cool:

It may depend on what time you are planning to board. If you want to get on early and don't want to lug all the carry on bags & sodas around, it might be worth it. It's a per cabin, not per person charge. We're going to give it a whirl in March.

First thing I do is get a cold beer.

 

Nailed it

Find the pub that will have any chance of serving up non-swill beer. Then have lunch.
