Plan your shore excursions early so you don't block up the desk not knowing what the heck you want to do annoying those of us who do!

Be prepared to spend lots of time in lines, either to drop off people, luggage or parking, it takes at least an hour in each line, that is before you even get ready to check in.

PAY FOR TIPS IN ADVANCE. PREPARE FOR LOUD MUSIC AND A LOT OF PEOPLE

Go early to embark. Disembarkation in Galveston is a mess. Over an hour to get off and clear customs.

Not recomended

Buy things ahead to save a little. Excursions, internet, drink packages (if you get them). Take comfortable shoes, lots of walking. Be sure to have closed toe shoes (sneakers, boat shoes, etc) for certain excursions and activities. Don't miss the shows.

Bring a lanyard for your sea pass card.

Get there as early as possible and start enjoying your cruise. Have lunch at Windjammer and learn where things are on the ship.

Dont worry if you dont get to do everything on ship, you have 7 days, spread it out and if youre like us and miss out on things by accident, no worries theres always the next cruise :)

i WOULD SAY PICK A DIFFERENT CRUISE LINE

Eat in Windjammer when it first opens

Ports with tender transportation were not prominently displayed in the brochures. If you have physical limitations, this would be helpful information to have.

If your one to plan ahead, then take time to go ahead a have your excursions all planned out. That way each day you already know what your doing.

Get the drink package on line before leave if you like to enjoy adult beverages. Make sure you receipt reads $0.00 before you sign it so you don't get accidently charged for your drink.. Tipping is automatically billed to your cabin, but for excellent service we gave an extra tip on the last day

Only book shore excursions through royal Caribbean. The link this company sends you is not through the ship and not very good!

For example: You should plan ahead where to go before arriving on every port. Some are easily accessible through local trains & that will save you money.

don't expect any morning announcement from the cruise director. He has been doing his job for too long, and he suck at it. On the last sea day, since it was raining, none of the outdoor activities were replaced. Nothing to announce about having plan B. The "My Time" dinning meant long wait times.

On the first day reserve a window seat at your time dining for the rest of the week.
