jencredible Posted October 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2008 We leave Sunday for our first cruise, on the Valor. I think I have everything squared away, but feel like I'm forgetting something-Does anyone have any tips or advice to offer a nervous newbie?! Thanks!

klfrodo Posted October 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Go and have a GREAT time. Know that something will go wrong, not smell right, not taste right, not be as pretty, or whatever. Don't let the small things get you down. You've worked hard to earn this vacation. Even if you have forgotten something, you'll work around it.

iwanago Posted October 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I just got back from my cruise on the Destiny and my tip is unpack half of your clothes... You want wear it all and it gives you more room to bring back your goods.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joules1111 Posted October 8, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Pack a highlighter (for the daily newsletter). It helps sort out the things you want to do from the rest. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted October 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Don't forget to: 1) order room service - menu is in the binder on the desk! 2) try tea time - on sea days - tea, sandwiches, pastries and classical music (usually at 3:30 pm - check your Capers) 3) have some sushi - usually around 5:30 - 8 (check capers) - sushi bar on deck 5 aft 4) indulge in the self serve ice cream 5) relax and have an AMAZING TIME!

Sirwinston Posted October 8, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Pack a power strip if you are like most of us and have cameras and phones and I-pods to charge. Ususally there are not enough outlets.. If you have a balcony bring a bungy cord to bungy it open when you are in the cabin and want to listen to the ocean, enjoy the sea beezes... Bring lots of small bills for incedenatals, tips in port ect. Some people swear to bring duct tape incase something rips..... Sunscreen and a broad rimmed hat. ( Something you can stuff in suitecase unless you are driving to the peir).... Do not forget passport/ID HAVE FUN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
