jgmpuma Posted February 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Reboarding is usually in the front of the ship, where there is often a long wait for an elevator. Walk up one flight of stairs and go the the mid-ship elevators. Never a wait. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martini Mom Posted February 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2012 We only take the elevators when I'm in high stilettos and can't manage the stairs without a "blond moment." ;) The stairs are so much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. I do feel like I can eat more of that wonderful food if I take the stairs, maybe have a few extra beverages too :D I just posted this tip in my long list of notes. Hope I can remember them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosefloater Posted February 13, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The best tip is to know when the ship is sailing from port and don't be late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askimdog Posted February 13, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 13, 2012 That was a joy of having a cabin on the Riviera deck of the Legend last month. No need for an elevator to get to Port or to get to shows, always 1 floor away. We are actually thinking of doing the Legend again since we missed so much in Belize, Grand Cayman, Roatan and Tampa!!

kingoftheicedragons Posted February 13, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 13, 2012 i go up one flight and hit "down". no walking! I know most people don't think of going down to go up. Since I work on one of the upper levels of a 19-floor building, I will sometimes go up to go down, so I will do this on a cruise ship as well if I need to.

I taught this trick to my wife a few years back. We were trying to check out of a hotel during a convention. Everyone was pushing the down button and every car was full. I hit the up button and had an empty car in no time. Just had to ride to the top to get back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froufie Posted February 13, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Last cruise I was on deck 2 at the FRONT of the ship - made getting on and off in ports very easy to do (especially when coming back hot and tired! :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notawordok Posted February 13, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I would rather use the stairs. When you go down to go up then you are cramped in the back of the box and the people always want to pack two more in because there is enough space for a golf club in the front. Then the two people beside you on the back wall only goes up one deck and wants to get off. Everybody unloads and reloads then the people that walked up one set of steps pack four people in to replace the two that got off. The steps are just easier.

JaniceB Posted February 13, 2012 #23 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The stairs are a great way to keep a few pounds off on any vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzycick Posted February 13, 2012 #24 Share Posted February 13, 2012 We usually take the stairs the majority of the time but this next trip we're on the lowest level (Rivera?) and right next to the forward elevators, easy peasy! We live in a 17 story apartment complex as well as 4 lower levels and my husband likes to run up and down all 21 stories for "fun" NO THANK YOU! He made me do it once, never again!
