CRUISING!

Early Morning

Getting ready for the day at sea.

If you love to be treated like a queen, a cruise is for you!  
Things I have learned about cruising.

Don't worry when you go in to your room the first night and you can't find your pajamas.......your  cabin steward put them under your pillow!

Don't get scared when you come in from going to the shows on ship and you see something hanging from your ceiling.....it's your towel that your cabin steward made into a monkey..lol

Start at the salad bar first and load up your plate....go eat it, and then go up and see all of the other stuff.  Your scale will love you when you get home.

Don't do freestyle eating.  It wasn't for us....it got to be to confusing if you couldn't make it and wanted to do another time.  We won't be doing that again.

Get your towel out first thing in the morning if you want to sit at the pool with all of the activities.  Everyone else is thinking the same thing.  It fills up fast.

Ask for extra pillows.  Unless you like sleeping with a flat pillow.

Buy the soda card, even if it's just for your self.  The drinks get pretty expensive and sometimes you just want something cold to drink.   I thought they were worth the money, some may disagree.

When you go on the island and are looking for a guide, make sure you tell him you want to go see different sites then the regular tourists, otherwise you are going to be with a crowd the whole day.  Some islands you may not want to do this because of safety reasons.  I can give you a list of safe ones if you would like.

If your getting a drink somewhere, other than alcohol, get your driver one too!  They really appreciate it.

Even though you may do a tips included package, if you have someone that really takes care of you, tip a little more.  I bring little things with me too from where I live. (small maple syrup, maple syrup candies, something local.  We have gotten so many compliments on that.  It is something that your cabin stewards would never have a chance to try after spending so much time on the ships.

I could go on and on.   If you want more tips on cruising, please send a comment and I'm sure I can help you with most of your questions.

AND,   Happy travels.   now go book a cruise!
