Pack less! As a first time cruiser and a female, I packed way more than I needed. Especially as female, you think you’ll need all these changes of clothes for the different events, for one, there just isn’t enough time. Two, it makes disembarkation a lot easier. I also definitely advise to bring your two packs of soda and wine. We also ordered bottled water for our room, but it’s nice to have drinks in your room at night. Our friends decided against bringing the drinks and they wish they had.

Several. Have staff slow down their speech. English not being their first language in most cases, it would be easier for the passengers to understand if they would slow down. For instance people on the phone, especially if leaving a message. We could not understand the cruise leader guy who speaks English because he talked so incredibly fast! She he came over the loud speaker, it was nearly impossible to understand. The backlit signs overhead by the elevators, What Do They Say? Hard to read. Size of print EVERYWHERE. The projected verbiage on the stage and on side monitors was hard to read because it was so small. Menus were hard to read. Easy fix, make your fonts bigger! Cigarette smoke from the casino was unbearable. Maybe your ventilation could be improved. Even when we were just near the casino it was bad. One last thing. There was a jump in the floor that should have been lit or marked somehow. This was on deck one, in the odd numbered side. Thank u!!!

Remember your vacation is what you make of it read your fun times and all things they bring to your room. Order several things from the menu as everything is small portions so that you may try several appetizers and a couple different entrées at dinner in the main dining room. Enjoy.

Purchase the 12 pack of bottled water before your trip. It is so nice to have water in your room. We brought yeti cups and they helped to keep your drinks colder longer.

Bring your own shower gel, shampoo and lotion. Bring walkie talkie so it is much easier to reach people in your group.

If you are traveling with kids/teenagers, don't let your credit card be connected to their room card. I couldn't remember if I had connected my teens to my card and on the first day they tried to use their cards in the Arcade and the cards were denied. I put a $40 credit on each of their cards. They played in the Arcade several times after that. I kept asking them if they had gone through the $40 yet and they said no. On the last day of our cruise, one of my son's came to me in a panic. He had tried to use his card in the Arcade and his card was denied and a message popped up saying that there was a large outstanding balance that needed to be settled. We had to pay $360 in Arcade charges!

Really take less clothes as needed. Reuse the same bottoms as needed take more tops and make sure you bring all favorite hygiene cause the ship store doesn’t carry all brands and prices are high
