Be prepared to not have as many things to do while at sea. The open decks are very cold and windy while sailing, which limits activities.

Make sure you read the gangway info for each off boarding day and use a lanyard for your card!

Don't take it until after the refurb if the smell of cigarette smoke bothers you...hopefully solved after that

When you buy a night in a specialty restaurant check to make sure the price is correct and not wait until you get the bill and reveiw at home. Also, take the all ships tour as you will be amazed as to what goes into your cruise to make you comfortable.

What makes your ship the one we keep coming back to is your staff and your ports you visited.

Just don't expect to get a quick snack or cup of coffee right after the shows because the only place is the coffee shop and it is packed after each show. Just wish that they would have other places open to grab a late night snack or cup of coffee / hot tea before heading back up to the cabin.

I enjoyed the sit down breakfast as well as the buffet. But hey, who doesn't like being waited on. Who doesn't like being treated like a king & queen. The ship is so big it took us a while to find our way but there was always staff member that could see your lost or confuse to send you on your way

Figure out the lay if the land (boat) quickly. Make sure you check the activities sheet daily and plan your activities ... You'll miss out. Breakfast and lunch doesn't have to be a buffet check out main dinning halls ... Buffets are great if you like buffets. Makes sure to look at all sides buffet.

Had breakfast on our balcony. Dinner we were catered to for every single thing. The ship overall had plenty to do ans something different for all and different things every night.

For ANY RCI Ship - If you order room service for breakfast, they will call you before it is delivered to your cabin- this works wonderfully as a "wake-up call"

You will gain weight on this cruise. Food is all around you.. if you are a drinker and drink a min of 6 drinks a day go for the drinking package the cost was $55 a day.

Try Johnny Rockets...burgers were great, all you can eat fries and onion rings, and friendly service. Worth the small extra charge.

Take advantage of the many shows available throughout the course of a typical day.

Tip the Staff. Bar staff, cleaning and waiters only make tips. They do not get any base salary. They are out at sea for up to 10 months with no family and work 7 days a week. Dont be cheap on them. Tip them over and above what they tell you too. They do an amazing job.
