Jerboy Posted September 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2007 My favorite "Don't" is "Don't arrive at the port too early" :) They suggest you arrive at the scheduled time given by the cruise line (usually 2pm) :D We always shake our heads at that one but I guess its a good thing -- smaller lines at 11 when we do arrive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare astridwilson Posted September 30, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Not to mention if you arrive early you get to have lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drico Posted September 30, 2007 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Another "don't" mentioned was don't book a cabin at the back of the ship because of the motion. We love aft cabins! Now if they could have said "don't bring your kids. They will have a horrible time."! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silque1964 Posted September 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Now if they could have said "don't bring your kids. They will have a horrible time."! Amen! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted September 30, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2007 A "do" was: Do book your excursions through the cruise line. And "don't" head off on your own. We rarely do this - there are so any reputable private tour operators at the various ports who can give you twice as much for half the price. And sometimes, we just catch a cab to a beach or shopping area rather than do a full excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was watching I thought "this is good for those of us that love aft cabins:D " Most of their don't were everything I do, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancescaH Posted September 30, 2007 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The don't arrive early comment refered to 7:30 in the morning which is absolutely true as it's pointless. I do agree that the 2:00 in the docs is too late though to get a good look around before the muster drill and sailaway. We aim for between 11 and noon.
