What can I expect on my first cruise?
I am a total cruise dummy. I don’t know many people that have even been on a cruise vacation. I am going on my first cruise in October. I live in San Diego so I will depart from the local port. It is a 4-day Mexico cruise, the destination is Cabo San Lucas. I know there are restaurants and activities that are offered on the cruise, I am sure the food and activities are included in the price of the cruise. Does that include alcoholic beverages? Will we have to buy our own drinks? I am taking my boyfriend and he smokes. Does he have to go outside the ship in order to smoke or are there designed smoking areas or cabins (like non-smoking and smoking rooms in hotels)? Are we allowed to bring our own alcohol? Would they know? Do you they check your bags? How much additional money should we bring for extra stuff (tips, souvenir, etc.)? Any and all information will help. Thanks.
My husband & I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. You should expect a very good time & to be waited on hand & foot. There are so many activities to do on a cruise so plan ahead what you want to do & your expences. Anytime you step off the ship you have to pay for all that you do. Alcoholic beverages are not included in your cruise package, When you go on the ship they give you a card like a credit card, You put your own money on the card (what you intend to spend) at any time you can add more money to the card. ATMs are on the ship. You must use your card to buy drinks (except shampain)—-free. You must take cash on hand incase you choose to go off the ships at ports you will stop at. DO NOT attempt to take anything on or off the ship like alcohol. You may buy alcohol on the ship which is very cheep.lot of things are cheeper on the ship. If you buy one 1/2 gal or so you may drink it on the ship but you are not allowed to take your alcohol into any entertainment, like —you may drink it in your room etc. But if you buy more than one you must have it placed in a box for the stewartest to deport off the ship & you will get it after your plain ride back home. Be careful about what you take & place in your suitcase, for if you are not careful you could place your self in a situtation. The guidelines & rules are very strict. Your boyfriend may smoke, however there are designated areas where he may not smoke just look for the signs. There is an x-ray bag checker. —-That Sees all in your bag!!! Take plenty of extra cash if you plan to do most of the activities like scuba diving or jet skis etc… Hope this has answered your concerns. I am sure you will have a good time!!!!!!!
