They pretty much hug you from day one lol, sit back and enjoy your on holiday....the only disadvantage of the staff to guest ratio is on the last day when you want to turn into a pirate and steal the ship, you realise the crew who seem to adore their world, would put up a fight...and I think they would win.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Packing for onboard</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188231.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:08:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:188231</guid><dc:creator>Grassislander</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188231.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=150442&amp;PostID=188231</wfw:commentRss><description>you are not required to take your own baggage on board...we take our own carry on size with us however let the crew manage our heavier bags, what is nice is being able to access our cabins as soon as we board now...we found our other bags arrived pretty soon after...we boarded went for lunch came back to our room and all bags had arrived</description></item><item><title>Re: Packing for onboard</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188229.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:56:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:188229</guid><dc:creator>Toyah</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188229.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=150442&amp;PostID=188229</wfw:commentRss><description>That's weird, so we don't take our luggage to our rooms ourselves?&amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Packing for onboard</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188214.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:50:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:188214</guid><dc:creator>RFDiana</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188214.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=150442&amp;PostID=188214</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;I haven't seen this posted yet but FYI.&amp;nbsp; Make sure you carry on ship the things you will need for at least the first few hours, i.e., medication, cosmetics, change of clothes, as you will deposit your luggage on embarkation and then there is a time period as to when it will arrive in your cabin, much the same principal as checked luggage versus carry on.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Happy packing mates!&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
