What are your first 5 stops onboard?

We do the same as everyone else but I pinch myself a lot to remind myself that we are finally on the ship!
 
On our 1/23 cruise our stops were:
1. Cabanas
2. Stateroom
3.port adventures for princess gathering tickets, which were all gone by that time
4. Guest services to load gift cards (we forgot to ask about tastings till after muster and they were out of the one we really wanted by then)
5. And then back to our room

For our eventual return I think I would rather:
1. Port adventures
2. Designated bar to sign up for tastings
3. Lunch
4. Room
5. Guest services
Although, who knows we may have new people for which we will be responsible by the time we cruise again, and that could change everything.
 
1) Cabanas
2) AquaDuck
3) Check out stateroom and hang out on the balcony
4) Sail away party
5) Promenade lounge for a drink! :)
 

On our first cruise I was so worried about missing something that I had detailed lists for each day. I later realized that I made myself crazy, and didn't have the fully relaxing experience that I had hoped for. On our second cruise, I abandoned all lists. Once onboard, we went to lunch at Cabanas, then headed to our room to relax until the muster drill. After that, we just lived in the moment. What a different cruising experience!

Yep! This year with be #5 for us (yay for finally being gold after this trip!) and I am still learning the balance between planning and enjoying! For all you first-timers...don't get so caught up in what you "should" be doing that you miss what you SHOULD be doing! Enjoy your vacation!!

My ideal embarkation day...
1. Board the Fantasy with a huge grin
2. Find some food with my family and eat with a huge grin
3. Wander around the ship with a huge grin
4. Enter my room and settle onto the balcony with a huge grin
5. Attend the muster drill with a grin (smaller...but still, I'm on vacation!)
