Why is this such an issue for you? Did someone run over all of your fingers with a sewing machine once?

It’s a TA - right? We’ve done several TAs on M and S class ships and they always have set aside the conference room space for crafts. I suspect the Activities staff would give you access to those rooms.

Yes - with sewing machines. And they flew from Atlanta to their departure ports with sewing machines. Regular sewing machines, not mini ones.

My friends who have sewn DID sew in their rooms. Granted, these were 20+ day cruises and they are people who would rather sit and sew than sit in the sun.

I like the way you think 😉

Yeah, but you could pay for the cruise by charging $50 each for those emergency repairs! 🤣

Yes. Quilting groups are very popular.

I have not brought a sewing machine onboard but I have two friends who have sewn their way from the U.S. to Japan, and another time to Australia. Once on Celebrity, once on Azamara. It's not actually that uncommon - at least it's not when you talk to people who sew. Pressing is an issue, of course, but that can generally be solved with a spray bottle of water. These friends have sewn quilts and clothes.

Sometimes it takes a while (weeks or more) for things to populate on the app. So long as you have the confirmation, you should be okay.

We always arrive on time and once waited 45 minutes for checkin because so many people decided to show up whenever they wanted. If you arrive early and there’s a line you may be asked to wait.

I’m pretty sure we got the notification in the morning of boarding. I wouldn’t stress about it. If they have to ask you the questions they will at check-in.

If we have things that absolutely need to be pressed, I send them out. It’s not that expensive. The most I’ve ever spent is about $20 on pressing over the course of a cruise.

Maybe we can have a case of cheese shredders shipped to X HQ? 😂 Seriously, if there’s no shredded cheese, take a chunk of cheese and cut it into cubes.

Yup. Used to be that you could only get a 6 pm reservation if there were children in the party.

We were on the Christmas cruise, disembarking on Dec 31 and we were off in minutes. No waits at all. We left a bit later, at about 8:30. At the airport before 9.
