POLL** What is the first thing that you do???

[Trizzy]

When you board your Carnival Cruise

[squakittymaus]

Head to the buffet!

[golfadj]

Drop off our carryon stuff in our cabin and hopefully meet the room steward.

[Mysticks1]

With FTTF it will be heading to cabin to take a look and drop off the carry ons before we find something to eat. Hopefully meet the steward and request that the fridge be emptied.

[KroozFoolz]

As Platinum :D, we go to our cabin to drop off our carry-on stuff, and then head to Lido for our first Reuben of the cruise.

[WLHyatt]

Room then food then unpack and settle in.

[okgirl]

We stop at the Lobby bar and have a Bloody Mary, then go to our cabin and drop off our carry on luggage, then go have some lunch.

 

We've been on 31 cruises on 14 different Carnival ships, it really is like going home, so the only exploring we do is to go around to see if we know any of the crew.

[All4fun&fun4all]

Lido deck for my first DOD!!!

[AmberTeka]

Drop off our carryon stuff in our cabin and hopefully meet the room steward.

 

Ditto. If possible have the Steward come to the cabin. Ask him to remove liquor and beer and stock mini fridge with Diet Cokes. Ask for a Sharps box for my husband.

Tip him/her then.

thank him/her in advance.

 

Always...( knock on water)...the sharps box is there by dinner. The sodas are loaded by bedtime.

 

other than maintenance requests ( of which we have had very few) nothing else special is needed. We always get the BEST Stewards on the ship. It is uncanny how that happens time after time.

 

then...if luggage is there........UNPACK. Then.....I am on a cruise......let the good times.....begin...or well, after muster........let the good times begin.

Our routine the last 2 cruises has been:

 

 

We hit a big brunch with friends we stay with prior to embarking, this way we avoid the crowded buffet and Lido deck.

 

We go to a lounge and sit near a window, it is usually football season so I sit with our bags ( we check none at the airport or with a porter) and watch football, after first opening one of our carry-on wines. My wife and daughter go explore the ship. Eventually we get to our room, I watch more game, the girls head to the buffet for evening meal, bring me back a plate. First day we are bushed, so we turn in early. At times the wife will go out late, but I always stay with the kiddo as she sleeps.

[Pleasan7]

We check our room then off to see about getting our diningroom time if it is not on our card as we want it. (Shame about the change in dining room options. I always loved trying new stuff at dinner.) then off to the deck to watch us sail out! My favorite next to dressing for dinner.

[MissKIA]

I chose "Head to my cabin to check out my room" but in reality it's "Head to my cabin to drop off my bags"

[Sparky2]

When you board your Carnival Cruise

 

We've always headed to the Lido to eat. However, since we're Platinum and Liberty has FTTF, we'll drop off our luggage first and then head to Lido.

[Jeafl]

I like to get on board early and take lots of pictures of the ship before it gets too crowded. A drink of the day is usually in order too!

[Scotch Mist]

Find out where I can get my Cheers package......then my first cocktail!

Hit the lobby bar and buy the cheers package, and get my first of many fosters oil cans. Then onto the lido deck...

[michelle1836]

we head to our cabin to drop off our backpack (platinum perk) then right to the Lido for lunch and a DOD!

[etwright]

Truly I grab the first waiter and get my DOD and then grab a bite to eat on the Lido. :D:D:D

[dmarie1623]

With FTTF, I drop off my bags first, then head to the lido for a DOD.

[lovecarnivalcruises]

If we have FTTF, room first to drop stuff off. Then to the water, pool or slides and have lots of fun before it gets crowded. Last cruise we went to the aft pool on the dream, had a bottle of wine brought to us in a ice bucket while swimming in the pool, just 3 of us swimming around with our nice glass of wine, it was so relaxing we loved it.

[Tyme2Cruise]

We go straight to our cabin, make love, find the Drink of the Day, and head to to Lido for lunch. Not all of that is true, DW doesn't drink. ;)
