[quote=Anonymous]The pool are lousy but there are lots of nice quiet places to sit and read a book and watch the sea go by.

Many ports have good excursion options that aren’t through the cruise company.

The vegetarian Indian food is usually really good as the kitchen staff is mainly Indian on a lot of cruise lines.  They often have a vegetarian curry that is not listed on the main menu but they will bring it if you ask.

The only special cruise stuff I pack is some magnets and magnet hooks for the wall and some binder clips or something similar so you can put stuff to dry on your balcony.  Clip it to a chair so it won’t blow off.  You may also want a waterproof waist wallet for your phone if you want to just walk off the ship and walk or taxi to a beach to swim which I have done in some ports.

Get there much earlier than departure time on departure day.

Cruises are the only vacation I actually unpack so I can put the suitcases under the bed and put of the way.

Embarkation day is crazy crowded and the muster call is the worst.  Don’t get discouraged by it.

Avoid activities that are trying to sell you something — like anything that’s an art show or talking about jewelry will be like a MLM party.  Things like trivia, game shows, performances, etc. are fun.[/quote]
