If you literally want to be the first person on the ship (not including B2Bers) you will need to be in the Haven. My wife and I did it once on the Bliss.
Hi CC! 😄 I will definitely reach out as we get closer (this cruise isn't until Jan 25, we have 3 NCL cruises prior to that including Alaska). In fact hopefully I will see you at the reunion before then 🙂. I am curious as to how they compare as well.
This will be our first time sailing Celebrity. My wife booked a quilting cruise but it was more than $1000 cheaper to book a room on my own then to book through the quilting cruise as her roommate so that is what I did. She booked solo and will be assigned a roommate but will stay with me. The biggest issue will be access to the room, is it possible to get another key? Any other issues of which I should be aware? Any hidden benefits?
That is funny, maybe he bought cookies from one of my girls. Although it would have been a few years ago, both have since graduated from high school (we lived on the Skyline side, he would know what that means 🙂 ).
My wife was the cookie unit manager once and cookie cupboard a few times so I admire you ambition. When I was at a mid sized tech company (when we still would go into the office every day) I asked HR about my girls setting up in the atrium/Cafe during lunch. The head of HR said it wasn't allowed per policy but if they wanted to setup and deliver cookies already ordered and maybe bring some extras just in case *wink wink* then that would be OK (then she ordered 5 boxes of Samoas).
My suggestion is to join the CC roll call and the other place with specific cruise groups and see if anyone wants cookies delivered to the cruise.
Glad you are interested in trying all the whisk(e)ys because premium plus is not worth it for the wine. You should go to the wine bar and taste the bottles available with dinner and find one you like to order with your meals but if you want good wine you will need to bring your own.
There was a post on one of the other social media platforms where the recipient of the surprise was not happy at all (to the point where I thought they were being unreasonable).
