The First thing I do on board is....?

[debnjoe1438]

Head to the MDR for lunch. (After making a sigh of relief/saying thank God, I made it on board without incident):)

[Bizylizy1123]

We have a 4 hour drive to get to the terminal. During that time I get all my work aggregation out of my system with a 3 hour monologue to my poor husband of everything I'm leaving behind. This is accompanied with the consumption of Twizzlers - the vacation candy of choice (and the only time of the year they are allowed). Once we get to the terminal we spend the wait time chatting with the cruise critic friends in person. Once we get on board - (and finally the answer to the original post) - we have lunch at Cagneys with our cruise critic friends, then find our cabin, have an intimate interlude (seriously, no reference to sex from anyone else?) then watch the sail away from our balcony. Can't wait for our next cruise!!

The first thing I do is breathe in that wonderful ship smell. Then I grin like a cheshire cat, head to Cagney's and order a cocktail and some lunch. As the cocktail starts working its magic smoothing out the wrinkles of pre-cruise stress, I savor whatever delights are on my plate and smile some more. Then it's off to the stateroom to drop off the carry-ons and meet our Steward and Butler, smile some more, and after all of that is finished I smile.

 

:D

First thing we do is find cabin, try to hook up with cabin steward to have drinks removed from fridge & get mattress toppers & extra pillows. If he isn't around we'll leave our carryons, put valuables in safe, leave a note for steward, lock door and head for a drink & MDR for a bite!

If we get there before the cabins are open we will head up to the buffet for lunch.

 

If the cabins are open we change into swim suits and head to the hot tubs and order a frou-frou drink!

You better believe it!! And I don't turn it back on until we are back in Miami. I put that sucker in the safe and leave it there.:)

[Solandria]

Sign my kiddo up for the kids club.. to avoid crowds that first night :)

[lisakoivu]

..turn off the cell phone which will not be turned back on until I leave the ship.

 

Amen, brother (or sister :))

I was just about to make two postings - first thing you do when you're on a couples cruise vs first thing you do when you have the kids with you. So you beat me for the couples cruise thing - we've been so spoiled and had TWO of those this year, the Jewel last March and the Dawn last July.

 

In March, we'll have my 17 year old son and my 13 year old nephew. So the first thing we will do is tour the Breakaway, because I'm sure the kids will be blown out of the water. Then we'll make sure we're all in a good spot for sailaway, because my boys haven't seen the Statue of Liberty before, could be a once in a lifetime for them.

Lunch in the MDR, then when the cabins are available...UNPACK! It's like saying "I'm home"

[jackson bernard]

The first thing I did last time was run to the bathroom because I was so excited I got the trots!

We get rid of our carry-ons, valuables get put in the safe and we head to Cagneys for lunch.

[jollycruise]

I grab a daiquiri, take a nice deep breath and let my vacation begin!

[kylenyc]

Lift my foot off the gangway, touch the deck, heave a hugh sigh of relief that I actually made it on board on time, grab lunch, roam the ship taking pictures, fidget through the safety drill, then rush outdoors to grab a mandatory Pina Colada meet my new cruise critic friends! :D

First thing I do is hit the lido deck for lunch (or room first if ready)...then check back to see if luggage has arrived...unpack...head to dinner...get into the groove for the next week ahead :)

[RenfrewSue]

We always head to the Main Dining Room to find out table and ask for a change if necessary. Lunch in the windjammer, find the cabin and then it's top side with a beverage for the sail-away (after the Muster Drill of course).

[3DBeach]

First thing we do is head to the buffet :eek:

Then head to the cabin to get some pics before the kids mess it up then off to explore.
