New to cruising?

If you are a "lurker" and have questions, come on out of the shadows and ask away. The one thing I miss about my previous "home" forum is the opportunity to help newbies.

These are friendly folks here, and I haven't seen rudeness or condescension. If it happens, I would bet it won't be tolerated.

It's a great opportunity you have here--lots of knowledge about different ports, cruise lines, air travel, excursions. You name it and someone here probably has lots of knowledge to share.

Don't feel silly about asking anything. Heck, I asked AuntPinkie what a cucumber sandwich was, and she kindly answered me without making me feel like a total loser. And that's a pretty dumb question Big Smile

Alaska is such a beautiful place enjoy! Every time I think of an Alaskan cruise, I think Skagway brewerery and loaded Tatar tots, yummy! Enjoy your cruise!

Welcome!

Welcome :)

Welcome. There are a lot of experienced cruisers here to help those of us who are fairly new or never cruised. Be sure to ask any questions at all.

Welcome. We can be sarcastic sometimes, but most of us enjoy cruising so much we really want others to enjoy it as well.

So glad to find a place where people are friendly, share information, and are willing to help those of us new to cruising. Our first cruise is scheduled for February 24, 2018 on Carnival Valor out of Galveston, TX to Cozumel.

I see that you are no longer a lurker. Thanks for replying in the Forum.

The strangest part about the Alaskan cruise was, going inside to get warm.
