1. Take a highlighter pen with you to highlight any activities in the daily cruise compass that you do not want to miss.
2. Take some post-it notes to remind yourself to do things or to leave notes for your cabin steward.
3. Bring a photocopy of your passport and insurance with you in case of loss.
4. Make a time to meet before you split up - it can be difficult to find each other on a very big ship.
5. Have personal address cards to hand out to all of the new friends you make.
6. Read up on all of the places you will be visiting beforehand so you can make the most of your time ashore.
7. Take a heavier moisturiser than normal as the air conditioning is very drying on the skin. Drink plenty of water!
8. A digital camera is a must for recording those special memories. And bring binoculars if you have them - they're great!

Pack in hand luggage what you will need until your luggage arrives. e.g swim/sun bathing gear. Also a washbag / toiletries / make up so if your luggage has not turned up in time for evening meal at least you can have a shower to freshen up.
The first cruise I went on didn't know what to expect at all, wished I'd packed a bikini in my hand luggage as it was so hot I could of done with a swim!!!

My suggestions to name your next new or refurbished ship: "Treasure of the Seas" or "Relax of the Seas "

Always book the Royal Caribbean Shore Tours. You'll see as much as you can in the short time available with a guide that knows where the rest rooms are, where you can eat, where to buy the best ice-cream. You can waste so much time looking for these places when you try to explore on your own. They will also get you back to the ship before it sails! You can always book another cruise if you want to see more!

Make full use of the excellent and reasonably priced laundry services on board near the end of the cruise to save all that washing and ironing when you return home.
 
John Samson
 
Book your excursions using your television as soon as you board - this will save you time, queues and ensure you get on the excursions you really want to.
 
Andrea Bingham
 
If you are arriving at your embarkation port by rental car, drive straight to the pier and drop off your bags before returning your car to the rental depot. Then you only have to handle hand luggage on the shuttle bus back to the port.

Take a little time to appreciate how hard everyone on board works to make you feel so special, let them know and the rewards will speak for themselves.

Always go on the introduction trip around the ship on the first day. It saves time and you see all parts of the ship which you might miss left to your own devices.
