questions from a newbie

[luvscruising2007]

We are booked on an RCI cruise June 1. All of the info I have read on this forum has been helpful. We have scheduled some 8:00 am excursions, and are wondering if the dining rooms are open early.

I am getting really excited and can't get enough information. We did schedule our flight through the cruise line and I wonder if any one knows of some one missing the ship because the airplane was late. We will be leaving from VanCouver. I'll worry about this until I am safely on the ship.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

This our first cruise in 29 years, so I know alot has changed.

I know the Windjammer Cafe on the Radiance of the Seas opened last year at 6:30am. It's a large buffet so no need to wait for service.

Thanks Chenega.

People do occasionally "miss the boat" when their flights are delayed or cancelled. There has been a spate of posts about people missing spring break cruises the past few weeks because of bad weather in the northeast. You probably won't have to worry about snowstorms on June 1st, so hope for the best. Just make sure you arrive at the airport plenty EARLY to get checked in.

Hi Luvs, I'll be on that cruise as well. There's a roll call list you can join at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=371780&page=10. If you sign up, there's a free "meet and greet" party the first night for CC'ers.
