I like to pay at the end with a CC, & I add extra through the cruise, for extra service received.

Arrive early (on time) & you will make dinner.

Princess has one of the best security for kids.

I have been up early & was conscious to notice the noise. It was very quiet.

Keep looking & try to use someone you have used before & feel good working with.

Ok everyone I need help putting together a pacing list for some newbies. Is there anyplace I can find some sort of list I can't think of everything. I know I am forgetting something.

Start early,just to think about what you want to bring and what not to bring.

We bring lots of one dollar bills for tipping.

We tie bright colored ribbon on our suitcases to help us identify them.

Bungee Cord - Brought a bungee cord to secure a door that we wanted to keep open from banging. We once had all of our cabins next to each other and had the doors to the balconies opened up all the way. Our door kept banging.. so this helped it to stop.

It is never too early to start gathering things up. I have started with a few things and just add to it as time goes by. Besides the obvious clothing items here are a few things I just can’t leave home without.

Is. Meet nd mingle arranged for ruby princess round Great Britain leaving southampton on August 15?

Have a good cruise, I'm sure someone will start a list for a "M&M", if not bring it up on your CC post.

My worst cruise story. They made me leave the ship!

They didn't make me leave, I left on my own, could not get off fast enough. I don't want to talk about the story.This happened only one time and have never had a problem on other cruises

Also remember that the drink packages (well on Princess anyway) include water, soft drinks mock tails, cocktails, coffee, speciality coffees etc etc. enjoy :) you can easily get your money's worth!

Just to clarify for the OP, the RCI wine policy is two bottles of 750 ml wine per stateroom at embarkation - not one per person. Solo travelers, for instance, can bring two bottles for their stateroom.

 

And as was asked, you also certainly can bring glasses of wine back to your stateroom with the beverage packages as well. Just may need to make a couple of stops at the bars to do so, but the amount you can bring back not limited.

Sorry we can't do any more of this. Too bad .....

wanting to cruise Hawaii for our 25 wedding, when is the best time of year?

and which cruise line?

has anyone plan "years" in advance

thx

We live in Hawaii, the weather can be good anytime, its windy today. I do like the winter months. February great.

You would need to consume 6-8 glasses of wine or 10-12 beers per person per day to make the package worthwhile. You are also allowed to bring a bottle of wine each at embarkation . Ask your steward for wine glasses in the cabin but bring your own opener. happy cruising

This is good advice, we do the same....:D

Where are the best places to cruise in late October. Is the weather still ok to cruise Eastern Mediterranean from Venice ?:

I think you will find the weather just fine, just be prepared for anything.

Have a great cruise.:)

We did a 4 day on the Imagination.

I don’t like hearing about complaints, this spoils the cruise for others. Everyone has their own ideas of a cruise.

Hello All,

 

Not our first cruise, but our first to Alaska. Going in June and looking for a little help with clothes we should pack for this adventure.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have found the weather can be good in May as well in September, maybe a little rain, this can happen anytime in Alaska. Be prepared.

I liked Costa Rica, it was all natural, in the jungle, we also did two repelling, and I did like this zip line. Would do this one again.

Ammonite Shell or Gem ammonit nice to look at. Too soft of a stone for me to buy.

Last year I did run into a class mate of 49 years ago, it was kind of nice.

How funny you mentioned this,we were talking about the cattle call,not too long ago.

Never had any problem, the eggs are sometimes a little to greasy, therefore I always ask for poached eggs. All OK
