Be sure to take advantage of the first-day offers

There are many special offers that you can get for the entire week on the first day that you can’t get any other time. Some of these include the special dining, discounts on some excursions, spa packages, and also alcohol packages.

Carry on your luggage

This one is easy for me since I only travel with a carry-on. But for those that don’t pack in a carrry-on, be sure to pack your most important things in your hand luggage. Sometimes it takes hours to get your actual luggage to you, be sure to pack a bikini, a change of clothes, and anything else you might need later into your carry-on.

There are maps at the elevators if you get lost

Ships are big! I’ve gotten lost on them before, especially after I’ve been drinking a bit. If you ever find yourself lost head over to the elevators and there will be maps of the ship there.
