what is the one thing you always do onboard
What is the one activity or one thing you always do on any cruise you go on
Mine is a massage in the spa on day 2 , early in the morning, which sets me right for the rest of the holiday
so what activity do you do without fail??

Need you ask DK...Just show me the way to the casino.
When accompanied by wife and daughter we generally go to the buffet followed by a stroll to find our bearings.

Keith

Re: what is the one thing you always do onboard
I always use the Prom Deck unless it's bad weather, use the golf nets, and also the tennis court.
I also have a good mooch in the jewellers. I think last time out I mooched too much, and the chap on duty in there headed straight for me (there were quite a few people in there at the time) and asked if I had seen anything I fancied. I had seen something, but knew the price would be silly, so to extricate myself from having to be shown a piece of over priced jewellery I replied 'Yes, but he's still got his trousers on!'
Now, I don't know where that came from, but it caused a good giggle!
Finally, I always have one afternoon tea.

Re: what is the one thing you always do onboard
The first thing we do is dump the hand luggage then it's time for the now traditional AOTH lunch of curry and Stella. Then Mrs AOTH heads off to the MDR to check out where our table is whilst I start to unpack.
We are creatures of habit.

Re: what is the one thing you always do onboard
I don't think there is anything which I always do other than unpack although I must admit at Xmas I like to get my Xmas tree/decs up asap so it feels as if the holiday has really started

Like Em we always have one afternoon tea but as our next cruise is 17 days we might up this to 3 or 4.
Never taken tea at the Ritz but would imagine "afternoon cruise teas" is a step in the right direction.

If we've been on the Ship before, following Lunch we unpack (as much as we can) and then attend Muster.
Then the obligatory sailaway
