HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS
Tips for First-Time Cruisers
-
Does
the price include everything?
Cruise prices include the room, most meals and some
beverages. Free drinks might include
coffee, tea, iced tea, lemonade, and with breakfast, juice.
Additional costs: alcohol, casinos, spas, Internet
access, video games, shopping, shore excursions, and gratuities.
-
What
should I pack?
Bring flip-flops or other slip-on shoes, and a robe or
cover-up for walking from the pool to your cabin. Pack for the weather. (i.e. A
New York-Caribbean trip in winter means a few cold days at sea.
Alaska in August? Bring rain gear.)

Do I
have to eat in the formal dining room and dress for dinner?
Most ships have various dining options: buffets, cafes,
specialty restaurants and formal dining rooms. Ships will
offer traditional dining times (set times) or open-seating
and some ships offer a combination of both. Many ships offer
"dress casual" nights in the formal dining rooms. But even
formal dress nights don't necessarily mean tuxedos and
gowns; a suit or dress will do. During your dining hours are
the perfect times to make new friends and share stories of
your day.
