Luckyroot Posted August 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Sailing on Anthem in November and trying to figure out what we need to do as soon as we board. Here are some things I want to do - let me know if I’m missing anything! In no particular order: 1. Check in at excursions desk to see if we can choose location of our cabana in the water park. 2. Try out the bumper cars! 3. Ship tour. 4. Sign up boys for kids club. 5. Lunch (May sign up for specialty lunch -still deciding). 6. See if we can change our dining assignment (currently my time). 7. Get an umbrella drink and start getting our money’s worth on the drink package lol. What do YOU do when first boarding the ship? This is our first time sailing with kids and it’s their and their mom’s first cruise, so I don’t want to miss a thing for their sake! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

lovescats5 Posted August 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2019 When in Nov are you sailing? How old are your kids? Probably anything you have to change on board first, then Adventure Ocean, then if you want to book time on iFly, then if bumper cars are in progress do that as the line can get long. In between all that get the Sail Away drink for the day. Get ready to run to where you want to be for Sail Away as Anthem usually starts leaving before muster drill is over, which is about the only complaint I have. Then enjoy. We love the Anthem and have a great time on her. Link to post Share on other sites

depplep Posted August 3, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Straight to the pool bar, pound as many beers as we can before we have to stumble to muster. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
renza Posted August 3, 2019 #19 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Oasis class ships. 1. Set up reservations for specialty restaurants 2. Sign up for laser tag 3. Go to park cafe for roast beef sandwiches and salad. 4. Have a drink and watch the teens on flow rider. Stay far, far, far away from windjammer. Not a way to start your vacation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly what we do, then off to make all our package reservations. Or more exact, I head to Schooner or Trellis bar and my wife goes to make all our dining reservations. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Erik101 Posted August 3, 2019 #21 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Walk around the ship. This is because I don’t go to the gym on the morning of embarkation so I need to get my steps in. After lunch, I played it by ear. Link to post Share on other sites
