[quote name='Aquarian']After boarding, what's the first thing you plan to do?[/quote]The first thing I do is put my carry-on in the cabin. Then I explore and photograph the ship. Then I eat.

[cruiserbryce]

[quote name='Aquarian']I love all your answers. Please keep them coming. We usually book an inside stateroom but this time we have a balcony. Do any of you spend sailaway on your balcony or do you all go topside? Only three weeks to go! Yippee[/quote]

Any cruise we have had with a balcony we still always went to the topside for sail away.

[quote name='Nana G']Drop bags, check balcony, call DINE for UBD. [/quote]

Us too. Our anniversary is while we are on board, and I really want to do the UBD that night :)

[Nana G]

I don't know if they do it the first night. We try for the first formal night. Nothing better than relaxing in shorts eating filet and lobster!!! Also, the flowers then are in the stateroom for the length of cruise. This year, a 10 day for us! We will really celebrate on 7th day and we are still on board! Good luck.

[Auntiejo]

Call the Dine Line and hope they can get me in for the Chef's Table & also reserve UBD for one of the nights.

Hey - its a 12-day cruise and its our 15 year anniversary - we want to live large on this cruise! And we will be living VERY LARGE with all that food we'll be consuming on those 2 nights alone......sigh.

Head for the International Cafe to get a big plate of shrimp salad.

The first thing I will do after I board the Emerald on March 10th will be:

1. Pick-up my jaw after go WOW after boarding the Emerald for the first time

2. Find my cabin and drop of carry-on and check out the balcony and cabin

3. Make dinner arrangements for Crown Grill

1. Check out cabin: drop off bags, ask for egg crate, appreciate that I'm finally onboard!
2. Horizon Court for lunch before the fray.
3. Explore and take ship photos before people crowd up the shots! :D

[Travel-Jen]

Drop off our carry-on's, and make sure our luggage arrived. Meet our cabin steward while we unpack a little, & check out our aft balcony view.

Then off to buy our soda cards, coffee cards. Visit customer service if need be, and explore the ship shops. We would also book our spa appt. for our at sea days the first day, but Princess allows you to do this right online, so we're booked already & can knock that off our list!

Then, eat lunch, and are ready to sail for the week! Once the ship leaves port, we will sit back and enjoy leaving port from our private balcony. It is almost a "tradition" with us.

[crazee4cruzin]

Begin relaxing, say, AHHHH, I deserve this so much! It is finally here! Drop bags, go on balcony...eat lunch, get a drink and check out the ship! Let the fun begin!:D Getting a coffee card this time too!

[Genessa]

go to the room and change into our bathing suits and cover ups that I packed in the carry-on. Head up to the buffet, grab something quick and then head to one of the adult pools to relax with a drink until drill time :)

[shelbyz]

The first thing I always do is hit the library before the best books are gone! And I always take a paperback just to leave on the "swap" shelf.

[flbeachmom]

get to port early-
try to find our cabin
drop off bags
potty break
find buffet
eat
eat
then take the stairs the whole cruise. That first day I am so out of breath when i have to walk from bottom decks to top,- By the end of week i am breezing up the stairs...

[emmysmom]

Get onboard as soon as we can, check out our mini-suite and go out on our balcony, pinch ourselves to make sure our cruise is really here and start to relax!
Then we will start exploring the Golden and more than likely find something to eat! :D

[Ship Dude]

This cruise we will drop off carry-ons and try to bull our way into the Dining Room for lunch -
