tbmrt Posted March 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I think the PJ Party on the first night of cruise from Miami would be fun, but not sure I can stay awake for it considering traveling to ship, enjoying champagne at sailaway party, dinner and grog walk.... Did you attend or did you intend to go to PJ Party and just couldn't make it?

jon81uk Posted March 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2023 We didn’t do the grog walk but easily were able to stay up, I’m 41 so neither old or young I guess. travelled to the ship, late lunch at the Dock while booking shows etc, chilled out and then did the muster point. Sailaway followed by a relaxed dinner and then chilled before changing for the PJ Party where we stayed out til late. I also stayed out for Heartbeat as I think it’s a really fun club night and of course for the Scarlet night party. Studio 72 doesn’t go quite as late as it’s last night but is worth arriving early for the 15 minute circus disco show that starts the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmamule Posted March 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Our first cruise with VV is almost here. We have some new PJs to bring and intend to go. Whether or not we actually go, still to be determined! 😁 We'll have flown in the day before so should be well rested (although I'm always a light sleeper the night before a cruise), and are not doing the grog walk beforehand, so I'm setting the odds at 75% that we do go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverendingcruising Posted March 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Went last night and the ship is quite full, made for a very lively party. On our original Scarlet sailings last year it was fun but relatively small. Last night was an all out night at the club! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccac Posted March 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Interesting that this quiz did not have an option for "I never intended to go". I did not feel comfortable with the idea of wearing any of the pjs I already owned in public (very comfy and super lightweight, but not enough coverage for me to feel comfortable in public) and I certainly wasn't about to go out and buy any just for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not wear PJs and go and party still. it’s a fun party playing more cheesy 90s style music. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware. Still not interested. I just thought it was curious that there was no third option of not intending to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our plan too! Traveling from west coast time can be rough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogcityca13 Posted March 24, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2023 If you do the grog walk, the last stop is where they hold the PJ party. How late you want to stay is totally up to you. Get a good nights sleep or plan to take a nap before sail away. We often found ourselves a bit surprised we were out past 1am, flying in from US west coast is kind of an advantage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubagal44 Posted March 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Nope, not able to stay awake for it. Had every intention to, but couldn't do it. (Sailed from Barcelona, flew in from CA a couple days prior. Still no joy.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying direct to Frankfurt, staying overnight, then flying to Athens for an overnight before the cruise. Adapting to Miami time is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it likely has more to do with your normal wake/sleep patterns, or at least in our case it did lol. The PJ party didn't start until 11pm, which on a normal day is way past my bedtime. I can't say it had much to do with jet lag or time difference adjustments, just that we were exhausted by then after a couple days and that full morning of exploring Barcelona, then the adrenaline/excitement of boarding the ship, learning the ship, sailaway party, then some amazing meals and full bellies....well, bedtime was calling after all of that. 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think about the long travel time coming in from west coast time - I forgot about the time change! We might be able to stay awake! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the total opposite - i searched and found the perfect pair of PJ's ( I don't usually wear PJ's) for the event but ended up falling in love with how comfy they are and now wear them all the time and intend to wear them on all future VV PJ nights. There were also many people at the party that were in regular clothes and that was cool too so maybe next time for you? 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janthere Posted March 24, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2023 We had a blast - so much fun seeing everyone just so happy to finally be onboard and celebrating! Pound some Redbull and go for it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted March 26, 2023 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2023 We were up, but did not go. And probably won't go on the next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessetfan Posted March 26, 2023 #20 Share Posted March 26, 2023 We intended to do it (I brought really cute PJs), but dinner ran past 11 (8:30 reservation), and we were both tired, so we decided on a PJ party for two. Maybe we'll make it next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the nonalcoholic and the regular cocktail pairing, turned out to be a good plan. We still had a decent buzz by the end of dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyTrain2 Posted April 3, 2023 #23 Share Posted April 3, 2023 This the incentive to flip your internal timeclock. Stay up as long as you can, then wake up at 1pm to start your day. Live like a ROCK STAR even if you are not in the RS Suite. Blackout ANYTHING before 2pm on your schedule. The ship is ALIVE after midnight. Rock on!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
