This is what's so great about CC. Newbies can learn all there is to learn from the more experienced ones. Sign up for the galley tour. Bring a couple of friends and a large bag. When you get to the refrigerated section have your friends ask many questions; the dumber the better (do the cooks sleep on the ship?). When the person giving the tour rolls his or her eyes use that as an opportunity to go into the refrigerator and take what you need. Why not - you paid for the cruise. It's your vacation, you should do what you want.

 

Another tip - bring a shopping list. This way you won't forget anything.

Yeah like do the elevators go to the front of the ship!

LOL! I just read this thread this morning.

 

I have a few questions for all the "old hands".

 

I would like to bring my large screen HD TV. I do not know anything about Direct TV. We have cable at home. Is there a corkage fee for splicing into the Direct TV system? Will the TV fit on the vanity? Because the TV is much larger than a person, will DH and I be charged a 3rd person fee?

 

Quick replies are much appreciated.

  1. Unfortunately HAL has not outfitted their ships with Direct TV. You'll have to bring your own dish. Hopefully you have a balcony which will facilitate mounting of the dish.
  2. No Corkage fee unless the TV is brought to the dining room.
  3. TV can fit on the vanity, but you'll less the top of the vanity. Better to bring a mounting bracket & hang it from the wall.
  4. If you hide the TV (they'll never see it if you put it under the 220V generator in your luggage) then no worries about the third person fee.

Hope this helps.:)
