Creator's Key Takeaways

We go straight to our room. So, we if we get on and we see our muster station. Well, that's true. We'll go right to our mustard station and get the muster out of the way.

We're going to eat. I'm going to Shaq's Chicken or maybe maybe buffet.

We walk around the ship and we certainly do it if we have never been on that ship before. We'll do a lot of walking around and and see everything.

Anyone else hide ducks on the first day? Sometimes we do. Sometimes we wait.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get muster drill done first thing.
Go straight to your room to check it out.
If on an Excel-class ship, go to Shaq's Chicken.
Walk around the ship to explore if it's your first time.
Hide ducks in rooms for the next guests.
