There are literally hundreds of things to know about a cruise. Perhaps you could ask some specific questions, and then we can help you. But your question is just to broad to give you any help.

congrats on your upcoming cruise. it is so exciting to be getting so close to going.

 

the best advice i can give you is--- arrive the day before you set sail and allow plenty of time to get to the airport if you are leaving for home the same day you get back into port.

 

take a great attitude about having a fun and a wonderful time on the ship and in the ports.

 

dont forget to be courteous to the staff. they work their buns off to give us a wonderful and memorable cruise.

 

pack your suitcase and then take half the clothes out. this sounds odd but many ( myself included ) agree that you do not need all the clothes you think you will wear.

 

as soon as you get on the ship check out your cabin, see if your seats in the dining room are what you want and try to get them changed if they are not. if you are booking tours with the ship do that right away also. the popular ones book fast.

 

then find a nice place to set, have a relaxing drink and enjoy your self for the rest of the trip.

 

have a wonderful time. :)

Unless your ship is a totally non smoking ship you will be able to purchase cigarettes onboard.
