We have 10 people in our party - 12/2 Carnival Legend.

 

I understand 10 people cannot sit at 1 table. We would however, like to be close.

 

Do we need to see the maitre d when we get aboard to arrange this? How do we find him?

Wait for the wife to find something wrong, go explore the ship to give her time to adjust and then have a beer.

We really need to go on separate vacations as the only time we disagree is on a vacation and for some reason my wife finds it stressful.

Our travel agent always arranges that for us at the time we book. We have always had what we wanted and have never had to ask for a change in our table assignments.

Ask your travel agent to do it for you ahead of time. Will be much easier.

Drop stuff in cabin, if available. Then go to shore excursion desk and reserve those we don't already have arrangements for. Looking at the poll results, that explains why this is a good time to do it - hardly anybody there. After that: unpack, explore the ship, get our first drinks, and go on deck to watch the departure. The order these are done depend on when luggage arrives, how thirsty we are, and how soon departure is.

Oh, yeah - almost forgot the "mustard drill".

[Quench]

The first thing I do is sanitize the room--Yuck!

[cruisinbuddy]

Guess I'm not allowed to vote, but if I could, cocktail & food.

[Laurablue]

Take our carry-ons to our cabin if it's available, grab a cold drink & relax by the pool, then explore the rest of the ship.

[Pitchblue]

Our ritual is to walk directly to the atrium bar and buy either a frozen Daq or "Miami Vice" 1/2 Daq, 1/2 Colada. Then we just sit and take in the fact that for the next 7 days...it's all love baby yeah!

[fuzzywuzzy]

The first thing we do is grab a drink and relax for a few minutes just being glad that at last we are here !! I love exploring every nook and cranny of the cabin and I check out the toiletries, and all the amenities. Then we head straight for the deck to explore and look out at the port. Usually we are famished by the time we are settled in and we go to get something to eat.

 

Of course we have to be on deck for sail-away, the most fun part as you know you have the whole cruise to look forward to and the new adventure !!

[chasetf]

We get down to one of the reasons we are there.;) .....Get Something to Eat :D

[flvol77]

go to the buffet and then back to the cabin for a nap - cruising for us is all about R and R

[clearwaters]

We got settled in the cabin while my two youngest explored the ship (they were 18 & 20).
