  1. :) Great tips! A few things I would add:

    • Take a carry on bag and wear your bathing suite(weather permitting) so you can go swimming after your welcome lunch if you get there early. Don't forget the suncreen!
    • DO NOT book Dinner and Brunch at Palo's on the same day. The Brunch is so rich, tasty, rich and tasty that you will want a light dinner. Gotta eat the chicken parm. The Brunch is outstanding! The Dinner is also a winner!
    • Play Bingo. Uh, we made the mistake of not playing last cruise in June a person won $13k on the last day.
    • If you like ethnic foods like Indian, Filipino, Thai etc just ask your Head Server and he or she will recommend what is available. They will have it for you the next day for dinner if you like. My wife had a lovely dish of Indian curry with flat bread. Since the crew is mostly international they tend to have a chef in the kitchen from their country who will prepare something for them. They are more than happy to share and appreciate the fact that you appreciate their culture through food.
    • Inform your Head Server if you want to switch meal times due to an excursion. Since many people take excusions switching meal times on those days are easier.
    • Make sure you review your charges especially if you had any Spa treatments. It took me over 30 mins to settle a charge from the Spa on the last day. They charged a Spa treatment twice and couldn't get a hold of the Spa Manager to override the error. Terrible! Oh yes, if you are not interested in their sales pitch just tell them. If the person persists do not hesitate to speak with the Manager and or the service desk personnel on the ship.
    • Get to know your fellow cruisers, it makes for a fun time when you see them during the week to exchange sea stories. You Castaway Members make sure you befriend first time cruisers on what you know. You will see them with their heads spinning saying "WOW"!

    See you in May!
