Granny Smiths in Australia too. Green apples are recommended by everyone I've spoken to, crew and sailors alike. And both examples were very considerate of the crew members to do.

One more tip for the ladies: The lounges & theaters are air conditioned and can get chilly. Taking a shawl along may not be a bad idea. Great tips on the video!

Ladies, if you feel as tho your period may come on during the cruise, make sure you bring PLENTY of supplies especially if you’re heavy the first two-three days. Not only are they expensive on the ship, but they only supply light day ones and off the ship depending on where you port at.. It will be hard to find them also. Speaking from experience.

Also, and this is a bit more invasive, but If you’re aware that your cycle will start prior to the cruise you can ask your doctor for pure progesterone. I keep really good track of my cycle. So one year I knew it would ruin my trip. Progesterone worked like a charm. It postponed my cycle and when i stopped taking it my cycle came the next day. If you live in Europe, this is more commonly done as the drug is available basically over the counter.

Ships count on passengers drinking a lot (buying drink packages that are incredibly expensive) or frequently going to the bar and buying the drinks without the package, and then forgetting how many they ordered. They do NOT give you a receipt unless you ask so you have no proof. And who is good about saving their tiny receipts on a cruise?! The best way to handle a cruise is to NOT charge much while on the ship!

Instead of the plastic shoe organizer I use two fabric drawer organizers from Ikea. They are less bulky, less weight and do the trick to organize my small things. Plus: The room looks nicer😊

I looked forward to those who are in rush to disimbark. All disembarkment day ship arrive very early in morn and generally ready by 8am to start unloadig passengers but I'll be relaxing at buffet having breakfast for I always book afternoon flight home . This way I'm among the last to disembark and so much easier to spot my luggage at the reclaim area before going thru no wait line at custom. Even traffic jam on street has calm down considerably.

- Private balconies on cruises are not as private as they may seem, with low dividers and reflective glass walls allowing neighbors to see what's happening. - Be mindful of personal belongings and hide any items you don't want the cabin steward to find. - Sneaking alcohol onto a cruise ship is common but may result in confiscation; using collapsible Rum Runner pouches can be effective for discreetly bringing alcohol onboard. - Meetups for various groups, such as LGBTQ individuals or those battling alcohol addiction, are organized on many cruises and can be found in the daily planner. - Pack warm clothing even for tropical destinations, as sudden rainstorms or cool evenings on fast-moving ships can make it chilly. In cruise ship restaurants, the menu can be seen as a suggestion, and guests can request dishes not on the daily menu or order multiple appetizers if desired. - Hanging a shoe organizer over the bathroom door provides convenient storage for small items and prevents clutter. - Cruise ship casinos offer unusual games like coin pushers and skill cranes, but remember that these games involve luck and are programmed accordingly. - Familiarize yourself with health and crime statistics on cruise ships through resources such as the CDC's vessel sanitation program and the U.S. Department of Transportation's reports. - Disembarking the ship can be a time-consuming process, but if you have all your belongings, you can leave whenever you want, regardless of the deck you're on. - Engaging in inappropriate relationships with crew members is prohibited and can lead to serious consequences. - Security cameras are present throughout the ship's public areas to enhance safety and prevent misconduct. - Marijuana and CBD products are generally prohibited on cruise ships, even if they are legal in certain states or have medicinal purposes. - Monitor your onboard account throughout the cruise using the cruise line's app to ensure all charges are accurate, and report any errors to Guest Services for resolution.

Definitely check onboard account daily, mistakes can be made and it is a heck of a lot easier to clear a mistake up before the last day of the cruise.

Good tip about checking your on-board account - frequently!! On one of our cruises I happened to check my account the first day of our cruise as we had a drink at the sail-away event. Found that we had been charged for 6 martinis. There was only the two of us and we had 1 glass of wine each. Took the whole week we were on the cruise to get the charge removed.

Yes! frequently checking the “folio” as it’s called (the bill) shows accumulated charges each day. The ship was very accurate. Remember, the “tip” they charge you per day does NOT have to be paid. You can ask them to take it off your bill and then tip in cash what you want at the end of the cruise.

I recommend packing at least one sweater and a lightweight waterproof jacket.

The ONE time I did NOT pack a Hoodie it was freezing cold in Galveston and I ended up buying a hoodie on board. Thank goodness it wasn’t too expensive and of great quality… but still 🙄

I cruise frequently and watch videos for new ideas. This was by far was the BEST cruise tip video I’ve seen. Well done and thank you.

Odyssey of the Seas was amazing. It took 10/15min max to board and exactly 15min to leave. My time was 8:15am to exit and we were literally on the curb outside at 8:15am I was amazed!!!

Great tip on when you can get off the ship! We actually just discovered this to be true last weekend completely by accident. Since we drove to the port, we decided to go have some breakfast and head off the ship. We were suppose to meet in a "designated area" at a specific time with our "group". But we ate and headed to the gang way and walked right off about an hour earlier than expected.

The shoe organizer is a great idea! I'm always looking for things scattered about in the cabin. This will make things much easier, thanks!!

We brought wine on a cruise (husband is a winemaker). Some was for gifts at a stop and some was to have on board. We paid corkage fees for wine we had to drink (and usually share the remainder of the bottle with wait and kitchen staff) and they kept the case we were gifting until we arrived at port. It was less expensive than getting good wine on board and we had good stuff. We each bought one cocktail on formal night.

Hi Tanner, just off the HAL ship and we always do self assist disembarkation. We always carry our own bags and no tag is required. We noted on this last cruise those who had tags were not allowed to leave the ship until their number group was called. Some had their bags but were sent back until their group time arrived.

One thing we've found on multiple ships is that ordering 'off menu' is hit or miss. Recently, we wanted something off menu and our waiter told us they could get it the next day. We also asked about other things off menu and were given a hard 'sorry, no'. On the other hand, on one cruise (pre-shutdown), I didn't see anything on the menu that was appetizing and our waiter said 'let me bring you something' which wound up being one of the best meals I had on that trip. Additionally, with all of the changes that have been going on in the cruise space over the last few months, it seems like you may or may not get charged for a second entree if that's your thing, YMMV.

But maybe on the premium or luxury lines they would have the time and manpower to make it happen. I will say that DCL was by far the most flexible. They even made me a dessert that wasn’t on the restaurant’s menu for my birthday (my husband arranged it the day before as a surprise).

Keep in mind that one of the main reasons there are such long lines and large delays during debarkation is because people refuse to adhere to the scheduled plan. So, if you ignore it and leave whenever you feel like you you aren't breaking any rules... but you are being a jerk and making everything harder for everyone including yourself.

Yup I had to buy some long sleeves I brought a windbreaker

P,ease eat all that you order. Don’t waste food.

If you hang a shoe organizer please don’t overfill and/or put it in a walkway where the poor room stewards are perpetually bumping in to it.

Have to say, I personally didn’t really learn anything new in this video, but there’ll be a lot of people new to cruising, who would certainly benefit from watching this.

That would be Me! First time cruiser.

Let's just say its a good thing dab pens exist 😏

I was just wondering, I see some U Tubers are doing consulting for a fee telling people what they have to do to move to move to Thailand. Are these legal

Was just on Oasis of the Seas and asked if my son could have the risotto without mushrooms and was told no. They did NO special orders. We did order an extra entree one night and RC will only serve one at a time. When my son decided he didnt want the other entree, we were verbally reprimanded by our waiter. Cruising is not like it used to be. I also didnt realize we could leave the ship whenever we wanted! That is good to know. Our most recent cruise, we sat around longer waiting for our assigned time. Was a bit of a waste.

I've never had RC only serve one entree at a time. I've ordered stuff saying "I've never tried the _____" and they'll bring it right out. No problem.

I was on Splendor of the Seas and have dietary restrictions. They had no problem changing things for me.

Novel warning: I got caught sneaking booze along with a friend/roommate. We both had our own cabins with our girlfriends so 4 guests, two cabins. About 2-3 months before we sailed we all started drinking nothing but box wine. We saved the bladders, washed them out and backfilled them with various liquors to sneak on. The bags had no metal and an easy use spout, essentially they were perfect. We rolled them with towels, jeans, hoodies and anywhere we could think. Both of our bags were flagged and we had to go to the “naughty room” which was a hallway converted into a staging area with all the other passengers and their confiscated bags. You had to open the bag in front of the security staff and everyone in line could see. While in line we saw multiple guests with 1 or 2 full liquor bottles and others with 1 or 2 rum runner bags. We were up next. They opened our bags, and started unrolling clothes and discovering the bladders. After the 3rd and 4th bladders we could hear giggling and gasps from those waiting and watching behind us as the they removed our contraband, bag after bag after bag after bag. They pulled 6 bladders from my bag and 6 bladders from my friends bag. Since the liquor wasn’t in its original bottles they would not hold it for us and threw it in the trash. Both of our girlfriends had brought the same amount of liquor in wine bags in their luggage and never got caught. The plan was to bring enough in each bag that if only one bag got through we would still have a decent amount to drink. It worked. It honestly wasn’t worth the work of messing with the wine bladders and we’ve been buying a drink package for the last 10 or so cruises. Please don’t do the mouthwash bottle trick. The staff knows about it and even if it works, no matter what you do you will never get rid of the mouthwash taste.

People like you and your friends are enough reason for me to give cruises a pass.

Lmao!😂 that was hilarious. Not what happened on ur cruise but the above conversation. Good one! I wonder why they only flagged 2 of the 4 suitcases. That's interesting...

@@andreaselsing7144 my guess would be the girls had makeup/lotion/perfumes and what not so maybe things just blended better than our bags that just had clothes and minor toiletries. Just a guess, I honestly have no idea.

Geez- either buy a drink package, drink only in port, or heaven sakes, forgo the alcohol for a week. It's not worth the trouble to try to scam the cruise line. Just do the right thing and be honest.

It's true about ordering as much as you want from the menu. Except for steak and lobster. I understand that Royal caribbean will now charge $20 for seconds...
