Going on a cruise

stevenshizzle · 03-05-2007, 03:15 PM

Hi guys. I'm going on my honeymoon cruise here in 3 days, and I was wondering if you guys had any tips, suggestions, advice, etc...

We'll be going on the Carnival Legend, leaving from Port Everglades, FL. Stops are Panama, Costa Rica, and Belize. 8 days and 8 nights. I asked if there was room for my car and they told me no so it's going to be just me and the wife.

Congrats! Have fun

only advice i would have is to be careful what you charge to the room, that crap adds up fast!

and watch your alcohol bill!

Get a later seating for dinner like 7PM. The early seating is for families. Dine later than you will be ready for the night life on board. Use sun block so you don't get burned.

Yea... Just keep track of your alcohol tab hahaha

And sanitize your hands going in and out of every room

Have fun! Ionno if you're gettin offa the boat to sightsee, but beware of scam artists. I went to Jamaica and they tried to sell me all kinds of knockoff stuff at full prices...

I have been on 4 different cruises and the last one was to Hawaii on my honeymoon. Make sure to use the hand sanitizer and wash your hands whenever you can, watch the liqour bill, and most of all not to plan too much to do and relax. If you are runnin around everywhere every day you are in port you get home and need a vacation from the vacation. The showers on the ships are mighty small, so be prepared for that. Anyways, have lots of fun.

Don't plan to do things. You'll have to worry about being there on time (and its usually early) and you don't want to force fun. Just wing it, you'll have a much better time. I've been on 4 cruises - all Royal Caribbean. You will have the time of your life, it's great to not have to worry about making plans, driving, all that stuff. It's a blast.

When you get on an island find some locals who are renting out jetski's that tour the island - I did that on my birthday last year and it was the most fun I had that week. Well besides getting tanked later than night
