I looked at a personal navigator for last September for the Med. cruise. They had the DVC members celebration on day 2 from 9-9:45AM. I think that all the Caribbean and Bahamas cruises have it on embarkation day--either before or after the drill. The Alaskan cruises had it on the day 2 at 9:30AM, which was a day at sea. I think the European cruises are mixed as to when they have them--so I'd say either the afternoon you embark or the following morning.
