I do not believe they have a Welcome Aboard party on the first day ......they do have a Captains party, usually the second night or so, and it is held in Horizons with free drinks and nibbles. Also during the Captain's party, drinks are free all over the ship, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Never seen a Welcome aboard party As above Captains party is 2nd or 3rd night depending on the itinerary Check the "Currents" for details Enjoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility Base Posted September 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2023 We have a 60 day cruise coming up. It is one of those “ hop on hop off “ itineraries. There are five embarkation ports whilst we are onboard. Three questions please. Will there be a Captain’s party for each of these segments? If yes, how soon will Guest Services onboard be able to tell me which night is planned for each of these? One of the embarkations is the middle (2nd) day of a 3 day (double overnight) port stop. Because of that I’m guessing the party would more likely be 3rd night rather than 2nd night. Would that be a reasonable assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always read and study your daily Currents each evening to know exactly what all will happen the next day. For the Repeater Party, you'll get a written invitation in your "mail box" outside your door. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe on the O ships the reception is in Horizons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted September 15, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) On multi segment cruises we typically only go to Horizons/Lounge for our first Captain’s Reception. After that we do the following in Martinis where service is typically far better , along with drink selection. We always go to the Repeater Parties. The better OCA always gives out a lot of interesting statistics on the passengers and their make up. We always try to get seats close to where they speak. Quite a number of very rude uninterested guests seem to try to drown them out with their own conversations.
