Here's something we discovered when we sailed last spring. As you board the ship, they have a CM standing near the hallway to go forward to the lounge area where you book Palo's ressies. It's like Studio 54, and you ain't getting past the velvet ropes. They're funnelling everybody to the aft lifts, and that's fine, if you're adventuresome. We stopped at the room, dropped the carry-on, I checked the meal tix for our rotation and headed forward on our deck, all the way to the fore lifts. Take them down to the lounge level, and you're in like Flynn. I think I was third in line. If anybody says anything, or looks at you funny (but they won't) just act confused and lost. Works every time.
