16 DAYS LEFT

A few odds and ends that we haven't covered yet.  First, the ship has a laundry and will wash and fold clothes for $25 a bag.  People that have used the service say that you should pring tape so you can stuff the bag completely and then tape it closed without fear of it spilling your stuff because it is so full.  The ship does not have do-it-yourself laundry equipment.

By now you should have printed your E-Docs.  When you fold up your luggage tag, use some clear plastic tape on that to make it sturdy, punch a hole in it and use a zip tie to attach it to your bag(s).  You need to do this for each piece of checked luggage you had on the airplane.  Probably not do it before your flight, but after you get it from the baggage claim because this is not what you would call a durable tag!  When I printed mine, the printer put it on 2 pages.  Just cut the barcode off the second page and paste it onto the first one.  All they need is the barcode and deck /room number.  These bags will go away when you board the ship and be delivered to your room later - usually before sailing.  Your carry on baggage will go with you on board.  All of it gets X-rayed before it gets on the ship.

If you are hungry when you get there, the Lido deck has food available all day long during embarkation so head up there for food / coffee.  Your room will generally not be available to you until about 2pm.  If you need to stretch your legs and need a little walking, you can drop your carry on bags off at the Spinnaker Lounge for safekeeping and explore the ship.
