I'm going on my first cruise in November. I've seen people say to bring extra cash because atm fees are outrageous. But... What do I do for money in ports? Not like at the touristy gift shops and all; I know they'll take my card. But what about little local vendors? Do I need to exchange somewhere for local currency?

Thanks for a the help so far!!!

Thanks everyone! My pillow is one of the squishable ones (zipperhead pillow). It's all these little chopped up foam pieces that I can mush around. I have a Chiari malformation and being able to get my pillow just right is a huge help. I'll make sure to pack it just in case. Luckily, I can smush most of the air out of it and roll it.

If your ship has a slide, no matter how young or how old (dignified, mature, etc.) you think you are, if you are physically able, go down it at least once. There's a reason kids coming off the slide have such a big smile on their faces...go get yourself one of those big smiles! :D

Just reading this made me laugh. I just showed my mother the port webcam of one of the Carnival ships leaving and she got all excited. "Is that a slide?!! Is there one on our ship?"

I have neck/head issues. I need a specific type of pillow. Some places have them, some don't. What are the pillows on the ships like? Solid foam? Smushable/movable foam? Just wondering if I need to make sure I have room in my suitcase for my pillow if I need it. Thanks!

Thank you for the review! We're cruising on the Glory in November and as a first time cruiser, this was very helpful!
