      Take magnetic hooks and a USB fan so that you can hang up your wet clothes around the metal walls and let the fan blow them dry while you do other things like go to MDR, and come back to dry clothing. The shower hanging gets items out of the way, unseen, but it takes days for the clothes to dry and there is less space compared to the wall.
      Stay in a hotel the night before and drive instead of fly when possible.

    I can see it about shore excursions, especially if you've been there before. We rented a car our 2nd time in Skagway and we were able to explore a lot more places than just taking a single excursion like the train trip we did before. But at least we didn't get stranded by a rock slide like what happened a few weeks later! Great video idea Tony!

    When I first started cruising I’m pretty sure I was an a ship with a lot of first time cruisers, myself included. Waaay back then we didn’t have technology and you didn’t know how much you spent till you got a statement under your door the second from the last night. The next day the ship was pretty glum with a lot of comments like “looks like my party’s over”.

    Yes, you can find places on the cruise ship to relax outside every day; chairs a bit of a walk towards to aft or decks other than the pool are rarely crowded. Also, there will be activities on Sea Days. Trivia, dance classes, contests are just the beginning of activities on a Sea Day.

    When it comes to the question of watching cruise videos….I wish all cruisers (especially new cruisers) did their homework by watching the many videos like yours that are out there. We would probably have a lot less incidents of rude behaviour, drunken brawls (maybe) , loud blue tooth speakers, smoking on balconies, letting your kids run wild etc etc etc. there is so much great advice out there that there shouldn’t be any excuse for some of the bad behaviour that we now see on cruises. Then again…some people are just born obnoxious. “You can take the boy out of the farm but you can’t take the farm out of the boy” seems to be the prevailing problem these days.

      Agree totally with your thoughts except analogy may fail...I think hard working ag. kids may be among your best cruise partners and be way more educated in getting along with others than is realized. This comes from everyone being needed to show up and help and survive larger disasters and annual needs of all farms or ranches affecting the community and country schools. I know I am taking too literal...and my thought may be more 40 years ago...I hope not.

      @ the quote was from a long time ago. It had nothing to do with farm boys and more with the idea that you could give someone everything ….money, clothes, schooling , a job etc. and they would suddenly become good and caring people. Hence, you can’t take someone out of an environment they have grown up in and expect them to change .

    Not budgeting for transportation costs from and to your home city. I usually remember this after I have booked the cruise and then have to scramble to get the funds. In my experience the cruise fare is sometimes less than half of the total cost of your vacation. (Unless you live close to the cruise port.)

They only apply to ON International LAND!
      The difference between those 3 could be a GREAT Informational Video! We always go into Airplane Mode as we get to the cruise port so that we don't forget.
      When we were in Costa Maya and I really wanted to get to Google and took myself out of Airplane Mode, I checked at least 5 times when going back onto the ship, to make sure that when I put myself back into Airplane Mode that it stuck.

    I usually only take the 13 1415 day cruise and listening to a lot of this advice doesn’t really apply to me on a 14 day cruise. There’s always time to sunbathed and on a Disney ship you can always find chairs. There are chairs on multiple decks and some are in the adult areaand for all intense purposes it is an all extent of all paid crew so I don’t have to worry about anything I don’t drink alcohol so I don’t need to buy it. Everything else is given to me.

    Cruise tip: DON'T SUNBATHE! I have a 6" scar from removal of a skin melanoma as a result of sunbathing early. So, unless you enjoy skin cancer, use SPF 50 and long pants, long-sleeve SPF-protected shirts and hats with big brims.

      You only left out one thing my doctor told me (am very very fair & there are types of sun damage not related to cancer). Stay inside all the time, everywhere. Away from windows. I’m good. Not that good. But grew up before sunscreen. So have facial scars not due to surgery and all my skin is always peeling. No cancer…yet. I’m 73.

    Bad advice: "The packages are always a good deal". For example: If you only have one drink a day, the drink package will have you leaving a lot of money on the table at the end of the cruise.

    Also for women there is definite safety issues a man would not have. Group travel is best in sme countries

    Hard pass for shore excursions if you do a little research and it's easier. We found a lot of amazing things by skipping the Shore excursions.
