The first thing you do onboard?

[GottaLuvCruising]

Hit the buffet, followed by a drink, then exploring the ship!:)

 

Me, too!

You should have included a bullet for heading to the Lido for lunch. That is our ritualistic first thing after on board.

[OptimusCruiser]

Find the food :) :D

I know right! Gotta get my eat on!!:D

It really depends on the Ship/Cruise Line we are on. When on Celebrity (our FAVORITE) we can only make 1 dinner reservation pre-cruise for their Specialty Restaurant. So, as soon as we can we will make a second one. Then we like to go to the buffet and relax over a light lunch until we can go to our stateroom. Then we like to unpack and get it over with. If we have time before the muster drill we will go to the martini bar and do the martini 'tasting' - just to make sure they are making them correctly for the rest of you :) . Get the muster drill over with and relax, relax, relax!

 

We are leaving for our overnight stay and a two week cruise on Thanksgiving Day - can barely stand the wait!

Calm down. I made it....always think something will keep me off the ship! Then to help the calming, a tall frosty tropical something with an umbarella in it!

[megr1125]

Eat and see when the maitre d is available to check table...change table to table for 2....drop off stuff (and mom) at the cabin so she can chill out, rest and read the compass....and then I run amok and try to get lots of pix before the big bunches of people show up.....the order varies a little based on the time we get on the ship in relation to the time cabins are available!:p

[Kurbanfan]

Hit the pool deck for a bucket or 2 of beer:D

[CrossMyHeart]

I must wait for my luggage and unpack. I can't do anything else until I know the most boring part is over.

[Doug&Suzy-Q]

We ooooooohhhhhhh and aaaahhhhhhhhh at the atrium.........

Then we head for the food:D

After we are fed, full and happy...........the mini tour of the outward decks...........by then, with luck, the fire doors are open and we can go to our room to deposit our carry ons...................

Then............we wait for muster and sail away.............:D

[LHP]

Grab my grilled reuben and a beer!!

[meg111968]

The first thing I do is get the drink special ;) Then we go check out our room. After that...off too the buffet! :D

[abitaturbodog]

Other...hit up the buffet!

[lovemylab]

Make reservations, check dining table, have lunch and then explore the ship.

[Sanibel*Gal]

We usually check out the cabin, drop off our carry-ons, make reservations for the speciality restaurants (if available) grab a cocktail and tour the ship.
