I like to wear some shorts and a top or a romper. 

I do wear heels on dress up night and that night only. I don't wear hose.

I called the main number with a few questions and that was one.  I’m traveling with a bunch of people who all booked before me so he connected me to the group department and they switched me.  

Thank you!

Did  this because all the other parties I’m traveling with have My time dining. I had 7:30 with traditional and now I have to make reservations for 8:30 and later.   I feel like it’s in The middle of everything and will miss a lot. Thought the whole point was to go whenever.   Can you show up earlier than your reservation?  😩

How did you switch? I'm considering switching from MTD to early dining.

I usually wear shorts/capris and a top along with slides.

Hello everyone! I've been on 8 cruises, my 9th in July. We are going with some friends who have never been on a cruise before and I'm trying to put together a list of tips and tricks. I've scoured the board and comments of other threads to start piecing together a list but thought I would post my own thread to gather more data. I'm looking for things like buying additional outlet splitter or a usb hub, hooks for the magnetic walls in the cabin, back dinner clothes in your carry on, Do's/dont's, etc., 
We are going on a Princess cruise specifically if that makes any difference. 

 

Thanks!

Andy

Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water! Cruise food is so rich and delectable, you'll want to stay "regular". My first cruise I overindulged in eating, especially all the foods that were heavily sauced and cheese filled without staying adequately hydrated. I enjoyed my cruise, but I wasn't able to move my bowels for a while.

You claimed it's one reason you carry lysol, and thus the confusion.

I understand your point. I probably should have quoted the op response in my first response about Lysol. Will do next time to cut down on confusion.

Lysol does not kill bedbugs.

I’m aware, thanks! 

I do wonder about this, even when I stay at hotels. It's the reason why I always travel with a can of Lysol on every trip. I spray down everything when we get to our room. 

Great review! I'll be taking this exact cruise in August! Glad you & your family enjoyed it!!

Mostly interiors and balconies for me. I've done an ocean view before. 

I don't mind an inside cabin, but a balcony is my preferred room. I like that RCL has an option of an interior room with a promenade view! They're the only cruise line that I've traveled with that offers this option, which I think is cool.

Unpopular opinion, I've mostly flown in the day of my cruises. I'm not opposed to flying in the day before and have a couple of times but majority of the time it's been the day of. 

The furthest I've traveled is to California from Maryland to cruise.

I always take mine, and the charger. 

I do wear heels on dress up nights. My heels are usually open toed or open back, so I don't wear pantyhose. 

I had Covid last December, the first 5 days I stayed in my adult onesie. The last 5 days, I wore regular clothes. I didn't wear any makeup.

Card for me, although a wrist band is a good idea.

We didn't have to show previous negative results. When led in for our test we showed our vaccination record, then were given our rapid test. Waited 15-20 minutes for our negative results and were allowed to board.

I believe there must have been spa specials, since they had several spa reps in the hallway/stairwell of deck 15 as we would go out toward the pool.

If the numbers are as low as we had, you should have no problem booking shows.

Bon voyage!

Thanks so much! This answered everything. 

Awesome to hear! I’m sailing on the Breakaway this Sunday! Just a few questions, I’m planning to take my PCR Covid test this Thursday, when do they check to see the status of your test? Do they check it at the embarkation process before they give you the antigen? Also, were there any spa specials? Were you able to book shows on board? 
 

Thanks so much for your help! 

I'm going to bring 2 books to read and a word search book. I also like adult coloring, so I plan to bring at least 2 coloring books. 

The Funship special, and then a Miami Vice. 

I used to carry a wristlet with it in it, now, I just use a lanyard. 

Definitely drinks, spa or at one of the jewelry sales.
