[quote=Anonymous]One thing to be aware of is that the majority of the passengers will be European and it will probably be a fully-packed ship.

We did a similar cruise and were somewhat stunned by some of the differences in cultures when it comes to cruising.

For example, when the staff brought out new platters of food, it was not uncommon for one or two people from a family/group to bring plates over and take every single item off the platter(s) leaving none for everyone else.

I've seen some pretty grabby and selfish people on cruises but I'd never seen anything like this before. The cruise staff couldn't do anything about it.

In some culture, the idea of "all you can eat" has been translated as literally all YOU & YOUR FAMILY can eat- to hell with everyone else.

The same problems would crop up when it came to embarking/disembarking or anything else where you should have been lining up in a semi-orderly fashion. Some had no problem at all marching right past the line and cutting in front of everyone else.
