Ok Enough is Enough.....

First we fight the crowds in the buffet. Then we order drinks and go around and take pictures of the ship!

1) Check to see if I have my Imodium A.D

2) Check to see if I have baby wipes and sanitizer.

3) Make sure cell is fully charged.

4) Make sure I have snacks packed.

5) Make sure I have my inflatable dingy.

6) Make sure my outboard engine is fueled and ready to go.

7) Make sure I have the contact numbers for all news agencies.

8) Make sure I have my portable incinerator toilet is working.

9) Flash lights are working.

10) Go to the bar and have a drink!

Direct to cabin to put down my stuff. (Champagne gets heavy!) Unload the rum runners on my person. Pour a cold drink in my big mug. Deli for a double portion corned beef and saurkraut Reuben and a salad. This gets tricky with no more tray but it can be done!

Oh man, I forgot to pack my dingy for my cruise tomorrow...oh well...I know how to swim.:D

Throw four or five towels on chairs I won't be using, check to make sure my fire extiguisher is certified up to date, and smoke a few on the non smoking side of the Lido deck in my flips flops and robe :-)

 

Sounds about right! lol ;)

[cruiseonthebrain]

Sounds about right! lol ;)

 

 

Seriously though :-)- we grab a drink of the day, get to our room as soon as it is ready and heang out on the balcony until luggage gets there (we usually get it pretty much right away) and unpack as soon as possible while sipping the DOD and listening to a little Bob Marley.

Obviously not on a Carnival ship where there is only bad, bad, loud rap instead of Bob Marley!

[lady_cruiser]

Find something light to eat, find a chair to sit and wait for my stateroom to become available.

[MsMot]

Haha.....I couldn't agree more. I was so tired of seeing every other post about the Carnival Triumph.

I would love to try a cove balcony someday. I would love to be that close to the water level

 

I would be petrified to be that close to the water, at least when on a ship. :eek::eek::eek:

Which ship? I haven't heard any rap music on any cruise I've been on (thank goodness!)

[MsMot]

The first thing we do is head to the Mongolian Grill - Yum! Then we sit and people watch while we eat, check to see if our bags have arrived, if not, we sit on the balcony and wait for bags and to meet our cabin stewart.

 

I will not be happy until I get another cruise booked, so Carnival will pleeaaasssee post September 2014 fares. I am so jealous of retirees who can cruise several times a year.

[lucky13elec]

I love just sitting on the balcony reading, nursing a beer & watching the sea.

 

The best part is knowing there is no way my office can call or get in touch with me. If Carnival did a whole cruise data plan for 99cents there is not a chance in the world I would get it.

[L&J]

DOD, explore the ship, check out our balcony room and then get something to eat....and another drink! Damn I miss it!

[mainelycruising]

The first thing we do is unpack, put on warm clothes, read the cabin evacuation card, take our lifejackets to the boat deck, put them on, test whistle and light, and wait for the life boat drill while reciting Psalm 107:23 (They that go down to the sea in ships..') -

 

Because we know we may need it!!!

 

(Actually, we change out of airport clothes, go to the deck, grab a DOD and partee!!)

[wrigley80]

I love being on a cruise and knowing that no one can get ahold of me by phone.....no bill collectors, no bosses, no in-laws (unless you brought them with you)

[WillWorkToCruise]

Sign up for Cheers, get my first drink, eat, check out the schedule for the day. Avoid all the table trying to sell things. Hopefully remember to watch the ship pull away from the dock and wave goodbye to all the poor people still on land.

[Rounder]

Grab some beer, and go check out our aft balcony, on the Miracle, this Sept, if it ever get's here !!!!!!!!! :eek: :D

[Turbo6ta]

 

I normally get the DOD, grab some lunch then explore the ship. This time I have FTTF .....

 

DOD ... FTTF ?

 

You folks use way too many acronyms.

 

Us folks that hardly ever cruise don't have a clue what your talking about.

Drink Of the Day

[irishlizz]

First thing... check out where my cabin is then head to the deli and buffet. :D

[gnocchi_mommy]

I'm tired of hearing all the negativity and conflicting stories about the Carnival Triumph.

In times like these is when we need a discussion about Chair Hogs.

 

So what is your Favorite thing to do when you get onboard for the first time.......

Yeaaah, no.

 

I'll stick with whats relevant and important right now.

[MonocacyCruiser]

I'm on Carnival Splendor and I wish this happend to our ship. I have been on lots of cruises and this is the worst I have ever been on. If they were half as good at doing their jobs as they are at making excuses we'd be fine.

 

Besides hearing constant complaining from other passengers, my views were confirmed when the Excursion Manager got Boo'ed at a excursion presentation.

 

I'm on the first leg of a B2B2B and would be elated to get a refund.

So what is your Favorite thing to do when you get onboard for the first time.......

Buy a spa pass, eat lunch, drop off carry-on luggage... RELAX! :D

 

We love just walking around after we grab a DOD!! It took us like 3 days to finaly figure out the ship!! LOL :o

You're lucky... usually on a 7-day cruise I figure out the ship on day 5 or 6! :eek: ;)

[wrigley80]

Yeaaah, no.

Well then go back and post over on that thread and leave us positive cruisers to think about drinks of the day, Caribbean sun, and relaxation.

We don't want any "negative Nancy's" on this thread......
