[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 712993, member: 1"] We've been on a few cruises. My suggestion: don't worry. This should be a very casual cruise, no pressure about anything. Take the basics and maybe a bottle of wine or whatever and that's really all you need. If you haven't booked any excursions yet they can usually be booked through the tv in your cabin and the tickets will be delivered to your room. If you do it that way you don't have to wait in line at the shore excursion desk. It's been a while since I've been on a Carnival ship but I assume that this ship will have that TV ordering system too. We're doing the cave tubing / atv thing in Belize that Trp found which is not booked through the cruise line. The tour ops say you can invite other passengers so feel free to come with us it you are interested in that experience. Room service is free. We like to have breakfast delivered to our cabin and eat on the balcony. We always give the server a couple of dollars for bringing bringing the food to our room. You can always get cash at the pursers desk. The tip is often included in the charge when you order a drink, check the bill before you sign it. Cabins are tiny, if you haven't been on a cruise ship before be aware that your room will be microscopic. When we get onto the ship we unpack and store our suitcases under the beds, otherwise they take up too much of the closet/room. I used to stress out and worry about what to pack but we figured out a few cruises ago that it works best for us to take as little as possible. We used to pack things that we would never use so now we make a it a priority not to bring too much. Other than basic clothing and toiletries all I'm bringing are a compact steamer, a brita pitcher (to refill water bottles, ship's tap water usually tastes like chlorine and constantly buying bottled water from them is expensive), a compact camera, my laptop, sunscreen and a bottle of my favorite adult beverage. Just relax and go with the flow and you'll have a great time. [/QUOTE]
