The joy of that first cruise! (And all those that follow!) But it is true that the first time you walk on a ship is magical. My husband and I have been on several cruises together now but I'm going on a girl's trip in January with 3 cruise virgins. I'm super excited because cruising with first timers is a little like relieving the awe of the first cruise!

You guys have a wonderful cruise and enjoy all the planning and anticipation leading up to the big day!

I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time! Remembering back to my very first cruise (29 cruises ago) if I could go back and give myself one piece of advice it would be to study the deck plans in advance of the cruise and learn in general the location and names of the main showrooms & attractions. On our very first cruise we had problems finding things and by the time we would find the location the event or show would be half over. To this day I still go over the deck plans of any ship I have not sailed on frequently and make sure I know the names and locations of the main showrooms and also that I am very clear on the location of my own cabin.
