Expect to be arrested by the local police if you wear camouflage in many of the Caribbean Islands.

Wow, here's a useful tip! :o why is that?

I have been to Barcelona, and the heat was unbearable, so I will suggest- pack something lighter for there! Ireland is colder and rainy which sucks but is worth seeing. You have to pack so many different clothes, it's crazy! But your plans sound great! Have fun :)

I have never met a tour guide who would not get you wo an ATM when you say that you need money to pay him.

Fair enough!

It won't be okay to carry around lots of money, however, you have to take into account the tax per withdraw some of them might be pricey.

I appreciate all of the useful info, thank you!

To those who hinted that I am crazy and shouldn't ask here for meds while being pregnant, do you really think I haven't already talked to my doctor about that?! I asked here because I was hoping for someone who has had the same experience before, to share it and perhaps give me some hints, since I've never done that before.

Now, when all this is settled, I still have at least a month and a half to go, so I have time to plan everything. Also, I have to sort things out with the phone service company. I've read that there are phones on the ships, are they expensive to use? It might come in handy when I am contacting my family while we are in the water. I will still keep my cell with me though!

So, about the translation apps that I've asked before, I came across a list of Google Translate alternatives, but I think they aren't as reliable. I, personally haven't heard about any of them. Am I the only one?

Oh, I also have a question about the shore tours. Do you think it is better to book a group tour, just to be sure we are on time, we don't get lost, etc. or you think we should do a private one? Honestly, to me, a group tour sounds more comforting!

If I haven't been in a car for a week or so, I will get sick most of the times. Perhaps this could be because I am newly pregnant, however, I got this even before that. Which meds will you recommend, I get that the crew will provide me some, but I want to bring my own just in case? Also, if the cruise I choose is an international one, can you guys suggest some good translation apps that I can use?

Makes total sense I will figure something out for 5 days. So it won't be too much but I can still get the experience. Is it a problem that I am newly pregnant? I mean, can this make my sickness worst?

Oh, my... kids are getting smarter with every other second.

Okay, I will go through all the info here!

However, how can I test myself whether I will have seasickness or not, since it will be my first time?

The title says it all. Since I am still new to this I would like to know more rules and tips.

I would freak out to do it. Doesn't matter how old my kids are if they are teens it's nowhere near safe.

Yeah, I am scared as well and I feel sick like I am going to faint or something. All of you state that it's pretty safe for kids. What else should I take into account?

Aren't you scared that some accident may happen like a child falling out of the deck? I don't know but when I think of bringing my niece with me this is the greatest fear I have that stops me to do so!

Which one will you suggest for beginners?I don't feel like a long trip is a good idea, especially when you don't know how you can handle it mentally...

Advil with instructions (like someone else mentioned)

A bottle of fine wine

Chocolate

Paper bags for throw up :D :D

Yes! The bags of goodies is such a good idea!
