[Blindtlk] cruising experiences

[Chasity Jackson]

Hi Sheryl. Yes, the guest access services office told me that I could get a 
tour of the ship and get on earlier than everyone to take a tour and so they 
could go through the fire drill and other essentials with Terry and me. But 
I have a question. From what I understand, when people get on board, they 
will be able to take a picture with Kid Rock. At least that's how it was 
this past cruise, and I understand it might be that way for the upcoming 
cruise. So, if I go on much earlier than everyone else, how will I still 
insure that I am able to participate in all activities that those boarding 
the ship at a normal time are participating in as well?
