Bonus tip, If you want to try cutting back on coffee - try this. If you have whole beans, take out 3 whole beans when you feel an urge for coffee, grind them into a pulp in your mouth and then spit out the grounds. You'll get a homeopathic dose of the coffee taste and caffeine that it literally takes the urge away.

Some Tips for Cruisers:



If you plan to cruise, always arrive the night before, so many delays could happen and you could miss your amazing vacation that you were looking forward to all year!

Always pack a swimsuit or shorts in your carry-on, your luggage might not make it to your room for hours and you want your vacay to start right as soon as you board!

Turn your Data on your phone off or buy their internet pacakge (doesn’t matter if you have a plan with your provider, while on ship you are using their satellite and they will charge you) your plan with your provider works when off the ship on the ports, of just turn your phone off

If traveling with kids, you can sign them up for kids programs even before you board, they have lots of these programs specially when it’s a full sail day

You can bring 2 bottles of wine for each double cabin, nothing more and no liquor
Each day of on the cruise, your house keeper will leave you that day activity planner and program for entertainment for that night (cost for entertainment is included in our cruise)



Use a travel agent, they know the ins and outs and can help you plan a great vacation with the best price (you don’t pay extra to use them)
