1. Bring walkie talkies to find your family/friends.
2. If you are lacking something, ask for it. You might just get it.
3. Soda cards might not pay for themselves. Do the math and find out based on personal consumption.
4. Bring a highlighter to select daily events you want to
attend. Bring writing utensils with erasers if you might need an eraser.
5. Look for port-day deals for dining and spas. Port days usually means a fairly empty ship,
so consider staying on board.
6. Buy stock in a cruise-line for on-board credit every time
you cruise.
7. Often, you can bring your own drinks and water (but might have to
carry them on).
8. Leaving your steward a tip at the beginning is a good idea.
9. Find out where the crew party room is and steer clear when
picking a cabin.
10. When going ashore, the wait is 1 to 1.5 hrs, so wait that
long and then go down.
11. Sew a pocket into your swimsuit before you go.
12. Many recommended Celebrity.
13. Check CDC for questionable ships/cruise lines for outbreaks
or not meeting cleanliness standards.
14. Plan offshore stuff with private companies instead of the
ship- better experience for cheaper. If
booking with the ship, buy ahead of time, which is cheaper, and can cancel within 24
hrs, no charge.
15. Norwegian sounds horrible
16. Western Mexico stinks. Sometimes literally. Go Eastern side
17. For quieter cruises to the Bahamas, plan to go between mid-April and mid-May. Hurricane season is June 1 to November 30, but hit the mainland more often than the Bahamas. Rain is most common in the summer and fall.
18. Have a party in the biggest cabin with your friends with free
room service- cheese, crackers, fruit
19. Go to the specialty restaurants in first few days instead of the
dining room. They will be almost empty.
20. Look up P& O cruises
