10 day countdown! Give us your BEST piece of advice!!

Pack, and then take half of it out again and put it back in the closet! That goes especially for shoes, ladies. Think minimal quantities of everything.

 

Another piece of advice. Be considerate of others, especially the staff. Remember, there are close to 2000 other people on board that they try to please.

get to the cruise port a day ahead and relax in a hotel that serves a good breakfast the next morning .

One of the best kept secrets on NA is the Silk Den located around the corner from Tamarind. Great place to "hang out" with terrific views and lots of privacy.

If you do not live near your port of departure, plan to arrive a day early.

 

Take half the clothing and twice the money.

 

Don't believe all the nonsense in the ships stores about 40 or 50 percent off and duty free.

 

Don't sweat the small stuff. Go and have a great cruise.

 

Remenber...at the end of the cruise you actually have to pay for all those drinks that you put on your sign and sail card!

From my younger grandgirl:

Chillax. :D

Hi Patricia Bill and I are on the Oosterdam Jan 6 to 28. It would be great if you were there. Sandra

 

Sorry it's taken so long to say, "Yes, I'd love to see you." Life is complicated right now, so I'm sticking to Florida departures so I could be home PDQ in an emergency. I leave on Eurodam the day you get off Oosterdam!

 

"chillax" - perfect.

Grab your map and visit every deck and public room/ space/ atrium on board-take

some photos as you go! And take the iPod art tour, good orientation and interesting too!!spend some time in piano bar with our favorite Entertainer Jimmy Maddox.

Relax, have fun, pack 1/3rd of what you think you'll need, and enjoy yourself.

 

When you're on board, feel the power of the Blue as you ride her waves. Listen to her song, feel the rhythm of life in the majesty that the Blue represents. Hear her song, feel the life of the Blue.

 

It feels like Home.
