kellyteach02 Posted June 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2006 My husband and I are leaving in 2 days to board the Celebration for our first cruise. Yaaaaayyy! We are so excited. Does anyone have any last minute advice - what to do first - what not to miss onboard? Thanks everyone!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwoman's man Posted June 10, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2006 1. As soon as you board find the nearest crew member carrying the drink of the day and buy one if not two. 2. Find a deck chair somewhere with a nice view. 3. Turn off your cell phone. 4. Now you are on vacation. Take each day as it comes and enjoy every minute of uninterrupted bliss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin80 Posted June 10, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2006 When you board the ship find find yuor room, head to the buffet, eat drink and have a wonderful vacation. Leave the headache of work, family, and what ever else might cause you stress behind. ENJOY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted June 10, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Get onboard as early as possible so you can start your vacation early! If you get to the cruise terminal around 11:00 or 11:30, you can be onboard by around 1:00 or so, more than likely. Don't sweat the small stuff. Relax and just enjoy yourselves. Read the Capers to find out what is going on the next day. There are tons of activities, or you can just chill out. Whatever floats your boat! Have fun! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWiening Posted June 10, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Bring bungee cords they help to secure your towel in case it is raining & helps you keep your chair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molme Posted June 10, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Make sure next Sat morning that you are up early and ready to get off the ship so they can get it ready for us to board. Just kidding have a great time and leave a little food and drink for us to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonniemari Posted June 10, 2006 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2006 If you are cold natured I would take a light sweater-some of the lounges and clubs are freezing. I know one more thing to pack -and who'd think you'd need a sweater on caribbean cruise but trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyteach02 Posted June 10, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Thank you all so much for responding. We are almost done packing - I'm sure too much stuff, but since it is our first, I would rather be safe than sorry! I can't wait until we set sail!!

hstrybuf Posted June 10, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Remember to weigh those bags if you're flying! Wouldn't want you to get stuck now with charges for overweight bags! Bon Voyage! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpiorose Posted June 10, 2006 #13 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Pack everything you think you need and all the things that ppl recommend on these boards then take out.......at least two outfits and one pair of shoes! Take out half your make up and hair products, keep it light! Have a fantastic time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elaineb Posted June 10, 2006 #16 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Definitely do not miss the Welcome Show on the first evening. It will set the tone - and sometimes the inside jokes for the rest of the week. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
