First time cruisers- Cruise News

[Flopsy]

I want to suggest to all first time cruisers that they try to read Cruise News from cover to cover.

 

We didn't on our first cruise and missed out on a lot of events on the ship that we would have loved to do or see!

 

The cabin staff leave a copy of Cruise News in your cabin every day, often in the evening, giving details of everything happening the next day.

 

I tend to go back to the cabin during the evening to get our copy and read it in the bar.You can also pick up a spare copy at the Reception desk- useful if you both want to dob the sudoku, crooword, etc.

good tip Flopsy!! another one I remember reading is to take a highlighter pen to highlight anything you want to do.....we have been known to forget something until it was too late !!

Hi Flopsy and Jenny,

Good tips, we were like you Flopsy and missed lots 1st time, but last time I made sure we read it and had a more enjoyable time.

Another thing I did was grab a spare copy off the Customer Services desk and use that to carry round with us. That way we had a pristine copy for the scrapbook album. Or reposting on here as Grannypops has done

Now I have cruised with Thomsons 4 times I am a experienced cruiser and have no need to read the Cruise News :D

 

Of course this is not why I keep missing the bridge tours :(

 

It is amazing how much bumf you come back home with so leave some leaway in your weight allowance.
