What to do on first day after embarking?

[neeuqdrazil]

I always print my boarding pass and luggage tags as close to departure as possible, in case of Surprise!Upgrades (I was upgraded from an oceanview to a balcony on my last Cunard voyage, 2 days before departure), so if your luggage tags aren't printable yet, give it a few days! 

 

My to-do on embarkation day on QM2 is as follows: 

 

- check the cabin for setup (make sure the bed is right) 

- check table assignment for dinner (if possible - last voyage I didn't receive a card with my dining information, went to the maitre'd in the Britannia, but was told I had to return when the dining room opened for dinner to find out what time & what table I was on.) 

- Unpack - get those fancy clothes hung up so that the wrinkles can fall out! 

- Avoid the elevators as much as possible

- Lunch at the Golden Lion (if available)
