Unlocking the Secrets to a Perfect First Day on Your Cruise

[@skeletor9121]

Great tips Rob. Another one I would suggest is to turn your phone to airplane mode prior to the ship leaving port. Enjoy your upcoming cruise Look forward to hearing about your next Celebrity cruise.

Love this tip!

agreed 100% on not going to the buffet after boarding-we try to go to one of the complimentary dining rooms/venues if they are serving

[@CruiseSeakers]

It's a mad house!

I can’t wait to see your content from the Ascent!! One question I would love to have answered is do you have access to the thermal suites on days that you have spa treatments scheduled? If so, how long before and after? Thanks so much!

[@CruiseSeakers]

Yes you have access to the thermal suite with spa treatments. You can do either or.. Just make sure you let the person at the front know you wish to use the thermal spa before, after is much easier.

Have a great cruise on the Ascent and take lots of pics and videos.😏

[@CruiseSeakers]

I sure will! I still have a ton from Eclipse that I need to finish up! Those are on the way too!

Muster drill dalliers drive me crazy with the captain doing a countdown. 28 people still have not checked in, etc etc. it takes no time at all. 😊. Thanks for the information, Rob!

[@CruiseSeakers]

Right? It's so easy to do know.. Put down the drink and get that Muster drill done! .Thanks for the kind words Kristie! Sorry I didn't call this evening. Getting last minute packing done. I'll call tomorrow! And everyone... Subscribe to Kristie's Channel! She is great!

Thinking about taking our first cruise this year. Watching a ton of videos "do's & don'ts". First I have heard of "freebie's". Wife would like the charm bracelet idea, if it happens. But "where" do you find out about these events, especially for that first day??

[@Cruisingspagirl]

On Celebrity they put a Daily schedule in the room so you can see the activities and offers each day. I don’t know about the other lines.

[@rayp4008]

@@Cruisingspagirl which I presume is on "the app" and not posted until boarding day? Many have stated "printed copies" are rare these days. And / or access would be delayed until rooms are "open", which then conflicts with the suggested buffet visit while others rush to their rooms? And thanks, it is really hard to mentally organize all of the ideas and info when the bulk of this type of travel is still conceptual having never even been on a civilian ship, lol.

[@CruiseSeakers]

The App will have all the info and usually the activities will be available about a week before sailing to see what you might want to do. You can get a printed copy of the daily schedule at guest services usually.

Spot on Lark!

[@heidibeechuk9203]

Do you have to make reservations for comedy and shows with Celebrity? I’ve only ever sailed Carnival and never had to do this with them. If so, do you do on the app or where? Thanks Rob, I appreciate your input. Have fun on your cruise.😊

[@CruiseSeakers]

With Celebrity? no. No reservations required for shows. NCL and Royal. Yes. And you will use the app or the cruise planer on their website for them.
