My first time back, Oct 31st on Allure, will be with 3 newbies in a GS. My first thing will be to hopefully enjoy cookies in the suite lounge. Then it will be to sit on the balcony and enjoy the sights as we leave. Watching embarkment from my balcony is my most favorite thing.

I think I'll get our picture taken as we walk from the boarding area to the ship. We never do that, it'll be a form of celebration.

Our's isn't till January -- Anthem out of Bayonne, timed to fall between mine & my husband's 60th birthdays. Hope by then they'll have worked out all the kinks, in terms of masks, distancing, etc, and we can just have a good time! We're all vaxxed, & I may even need to get a booster by then, but we will do what it takes to go!
Our usual is lunch, drinks, drop off carry-ons in the room, and probably watch sail-away from our balcony, or 270-- it will be a might chilly to be outside ?

Lots of great ideas for the first thing. I'm going to be on Celebrity Millennium on Saturday ?, so I'm going to have to give it some additional thought.
The extra tipping sounds like a really great idea!

Jump in the pool so people can't see me crying with joy. Float on back and soak up the rays, and be so thankful I can finally cruise again. Oh, and follow this up quickly with a Kraken Lava Flow; then I know I am truly on board.

Long time lurker and decided to join the site in order to respond. My wife I have love the responses thus far, especially tears for joy, drink of the day, etc. We're seriously considering getting a $50 in singles, writing "We're so glad we're back, THANK YOU!" and handing each out to members of the crew we see -- greeters, cleaning crew, flow rider staff, soft serve attendants, Washy Washy staff, etc. We can't wait for our 11/14/21 Allure trip with family and friends.

Grab a couple slices of pizza on the Promenade, then up to the pool deck for cocktails. Can’t wait

I'll even give a thumbs up while passing the art auction.

Windjammer. Lunch on embarkation day followed by over use of drink package. It's a day 1 tradition.

Here's another thing I imagine myself doing as soon as they let passengers into the stateroom. I'd lie down on the bed and make "snow angels" (or "sheet angels")

I'm going to grab a drink and then stand on the deck looking out over the port. I don't even care that I won't be looking out over the ocean, lol. I cannot wait to feel that railing under my hands again!

Order the drink of the day and then a slow walk through the entire ship reacquainting ourselves with our home away from home that we have not visited since January ‘19 and hoping we see some familiar faces.
Stand by the Starboard railing watching the dolphins swimming by.

Wow - glad to see crying is a common response and I'm not alone! When I booked my son's first shot I burst into tears on the phone and the nurse says "happy tears" me "yea" her "that's good - let it out, you're not alone I really do get this response a lot" lol.
Maybe the ships should have giant tissue boxes beside the hand sanitizers as we all board! Followed with bubbly!

A little lunch on embarkation day, then leave my wife to roam the ship and get us organized while the kids and I hit the flowrider and water slides.

Say a prayer of extreme gratitude that we live in a world where amazing vaccines can be created and distributed so quickly to help save so many lives and help us get back to "normal".
Then, it's off to the first bar we can find to have an "embarkation" cocktail and get the B2B cruise party started on Symphony. ?

In a celebratory mood, I think it will be easier to convince myself to join the line dances at Sail Away

When we cruised with Disney, I always had tears of joy when we boarded and they announced our name. Always. I didn't get that when we last cruised with Royal, BUT! I guarantee you those tears of joy will be there when we board Oasis on Dec 26th. After the tears, we will head to the Suites/Concierge lounge for snacks and adult bevs, shore up any loose ends with them, grab some lunch, and walk around. I cannot wait!

Drink of the Day
Embarkation day is the only day I buy the drink of the day but it's the first thing I do.

Dinner Reservations, then drinks outside at the Solarium Bar

Enjoy our Chops Grille embarkation day lunch and then walk through Central Park and order a Lava Flow from the Trellis Bar!

Straight to the pool deck for a Miami Vice. No tears, just elation.

I've said this multiple times when discussing the pandemic because there are others who have really suffered but I've lost two years that I will never get back of cruising and going to Michigan football games with my son - we are both graduates continuing a long family tradition on both sides. Yeah, first world problems!
But this is a huge deal for me at my age. Losing two years of cruising, something similar to loosing chunks of heart and soul, to the shut down of life sucks when you know there aren't many years of that left.
We have a routine. The first thing we say when walking into the Grand Foyer is, "honey, I'm home." We go from there.
I liked the post that said, the first thing I'm going to do is ..... tip a crew member! Fantastic. I think I'll bring a stack of bills and each crew member I encounter is going to get one until I run one

It will be emotional for sure...getting goosebumps just thinking about it... I am getting a slice (or two, or three) of Vegetarian pizza @ Sorrentos!!!
