Welcome Back & Captains parties.

zebra · December 27, 2011

We usually cruise on RCCL and are invited to the Welcome Back & Captains parties on each sailing. The shortest sailing we have done is a 4 day. I have 2 questions:

1. Do they have these parties on a 3 day cruise?

2. Do you all attend these parties??

Yes, they have those parties on RCI. We have done them many times on the Monarch. We usually skip the Captains party and go to the repeaters if we go at all.

Totally depends on what we did during the day. If it's a sea day, then yes we will go to the parties -- free drinks and appetizers. Sometimes if it's a port day and we've been out in the sun all day, we are napping and not feeling up to rushing to get ready.

Generally, we try and attend afternoon tea, free events, etc., etc.

On the Century, the weather was so bad we couldn't step outside. So, we all (I think there were 10 of us) went to the art auction. Certainly NOT for the art. Most definitely for the wine, champagne, cheese, crackers, etc.!

We always attend those parties...but I don't recall having one on our 4-day sailing with RCCL....... maybe I just missed the invite!

We skip those but very glad we attended the Diamond Club Member get togethers from 5-8 every night. The shrimp , meatballs and other little thingies were great, the room had an amazing view and the open bar was amazing even though all I had was soda. I actually looked forward to this pre dinner thing every day, like I needed this extra food, right? The last night I ate so much there that I couldn't eat dinner, which was fine. I just had key lime pie and watched Wayne eat. Loved it.
