Eclipse Questions

[lindy sails]

What is the best time to arrive at the terminal for check in? On other ships I have arrived about 11. Where is the lifeboat drill held? Best place for the sail-away? Room service breakfast can you get a full breakfast or request items not listed.

there is no best time. some arrive at 11, some later

 

Where is the lifeboat drill held?

 

You will be told your muster station once you are on board. The location of your muster station will be posted on a placard on the stateroom door

 

Best place for the sail-away?

 

That depends if you want to share it with crowds or like to experience it quietly. There's no best place

 

 

Room service breakfast can you get a full breakfast or request items not listed.

 

You can get a full breakfast. You may be able to request items not listed, depending on what stateroom class you are booked in and what you are requesting.

11 is a great time - depending on your cabin you'll have more or less people in line, but in most cases it goes pretty quickly. It could happen than they don't let you on right away, but at that time you should be close. Our normal routine is to arrive about 11:30 and head straight to Bistro on Five for some relaxed lunch, avoiding the crush at the buffet.

Your cabin will have the location for your muster drill. For example, we were on Eclipse in March and we had an S1 suite (aft corner) on deck 11. Our muster location was Tuscan Grill. But yours could be just about anywhere - they are by cabin location. A few years ago they stopped requiring passengers to wear the life vests.

Room service menus vary as well, depending on cabin category/class. However, when we were in a concierge cabin once we ordered breakfast items that weren't on the menu. Nothing complicated, but I recall we just wrote in what we wanted and took a chance and it all came just fine. It's fairly common to tip your cabin steward or butler a couple dollars for room service.

By the way, we get breakfast room service on every morning we plan to go into port, so we can just eat and get ready at the same time. Nice to enjoy it on our balcony.
