Vol fan Posted August 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We are sailing for the first time on the Getaway next Saturday and wondered where the best place to arrange to meet others you are sharing excursions with before disembarking is. I don't know which deck the gangplank is on, so I don't have any idea where to suggest to others in the group. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted August 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The location and deck of gangways depends on the port and orientation of the ship. I'd suggest meeting for example in/near atrium cafe on deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graciegrapes Posted August 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just got off of the getaway and for all of the ports the gangway was on deck 4. The atrium is on deck 6 and is the most central location as that's where guest services and such are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyCruises Posted August 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2015 In July our group of 18 met at the atrium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnc0 Posted August 31, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I would suggest meeting on the dock but if somebody is late or gets held up you'll be in a bind - you have to get back on and go though screening. Besides - the dock area is hot and shade/water are not always available. I'd suggest meeting on the at deck of Deck 15 or inside the garden cafe entrance. Easier to get on a downgoing elevator from there. It's also Air conditioned and you can have a free coffee or snack while you wait for laggards.

littleengine Posted August 31, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2015 In the past when arranging excursions with others from the meet & greet, friends, etc, I've arranged to meet them at the forward/aft stair or elevator landing either on my floor or theirs (if I'm higher up I walk down and meet them on theirs, and vice versa). It made sense to pick people up along the way since we were all headed to the same place (so would have to pass each other anyway), and it's much easier to find people on a specific floor than in the chaos of the atrium area, or close to where people disembark for excursions.
