Any last minute tips or bits of advice?

We leave Sunday for our first cruise, on the Valor. I think I have everything squared away, but feel like I'm forgetting something-Does anyone have any tips or advice to offer a nervous newbie?!

Thanks!

Go and have a GREAT time.

Know that something will go wrong, not smell right, not taste right, not be as pretty, or whatever. Don't let the small things get you down.

You've worked hard to earn this vacation.

Even if you have forgotten something, you'll work around it.

I just got back from my cruise on the Destiny and my tip is unpack half of your clothes... You want wear it all and it gives you more room to bring back your goods.:p

Relax and have a blast. We were on the Valor a year and absolutely loved it - our favorite cruise yet! Also, don't sweat the small stuff!

Pack a highlighter (for the daily newsletter). It helps sort out the things you want to do from the rest.

 

Have a great cruise!

Don't forget to:

 

1) order room service - menu is in the binder on the desk!

 

2) try tea time - on sea days - tea, sandwiches, pastries and classical music (usually at 3:30 pm - check your Capers)

 

3) have some sushi - usually around 5:30 - 8 (check capers) - sushi bar on deck 5 aft

 

4) indulge in the self serve ice cream

 

5) relax and have an AMAZING TIME!

Pack a power strip if you are like most of us and have cameras and phones and I-pods to charge. Ususally there are not enough outlets..

If you have a balcony bring a bungy cord to bungy it open when you are in the cabin and want to listen to the ocean, enjoy the sea beezes...

Bring lots of small bills for incedenatals, tips in port ect.

Some people swear to bring duct tape incase something rips.....

Sunscreen and a broad rimmed hat. ( Something you can stuff in suitecase unless you are driving to the peir)....

 

Do not forget passport/ID

 

HAVE FUN...
