I've seen a few random videos and read several trip reports but I'm sure there are also some tid bits of knowledge floating around in random spaces around the message board or unposted. The question is how does everyone handle Embarkation day, what are your must do checklist items once you get on board. I've seen suggestions for checking into the various levels of kids clubs to ensure they're able to get into whatever activities they want to do. I've seen suggestions for doing the virtual muster asap just to get it out of the way, and then doing MDR for lunch.
We're going to be going on our second Disney Cruise in November and I feel like our first time went well but it was a lot of trial by fire, we boarded late because our transportation was running late and then we were their last drop off. Once on board we hit Cabanas and then the pools/slides until our room was ready, but there was a fair bit of wondering if there was something else we should be doing at that time so that things later went smoother. I believe I had read to check on the Anna and Elsa meet which I did and managed to get a time for while on board.
But what are the seasoned sailing veterans doing during this time to ensure a smooth cruise experience?
