If you do not have a drinking package, consider trying the drink of the day, which is a few bucks cheaper than regular alcoholic drinks. Every day they offer a “drink of the day” and make it available at most bars. On a recent cruise, they offered Rum Runner and Goombay Splash and they were both awesome. Also, try the Bionic Bar, which also has cheaper prices and is a different experience.

My favorite of your recommendations is to talk to crew members. We do that on every cruise, and we've met some really nice people. Every time I cruise my faith in the human race gets a boost. I've spoken with numerous crew members from countries that are supposed to be our adversaries. But it's not people that are adversaries, it's governments. People are people, no matter where they call home. Another tip might be to carry some cash (small bills) to tip porters (you really want your bags to reach the ship, don't you?), shuttle drivers, etc. We also use cash to tip bartenders for our "Diamond Drinks", room service delivery people, entertainers in venues like the Schooner Bar, and for anyone who provides exceptional service (which happens frequently on RCL cruise ships in our experience.) Those tips are ALWAYS in addition to, and not in lieu of, the standard gratuities. Remember - those crew members are working their tailfeathers off to give you the best cruise experience possible.

FLY IN A DAY EARLY!! At the start of our Alaska cruise on July 28 I flew in a day early, fell at the airport, dislocated 2 fingers hit my head, +,+. Eight hours in emergency meant that I would have missed the cruise if it had been that day. It was the next day and I had a great cruise tour.

The magnet advice is brilliant. Now, let me add to that. I get USB extender cords to connect them together and then hang them from the wall - onto the ceiling - so there are no cords on the floor to trip over. I also purchase a clear - see through - hanging shoe rack - to hang over the bathroom door. The pockets in the plastic wrap - I fill with all sorts of things, so I can immediately see them and get to them quickly. Like meds - lotions - change etc. last thing - I buy small magnetic fans - that are usb charged. I like flowing air in my room and also the sound is comforting. I charge them while I’m out and about and them use them to sleep by. I usually pack two. Also pack poo-poori - they come in small spray bottles. I carry them with me, on and off the ship - no one wants to smell your $hit. Have a great cruise. Get a European adapter- to switch it over to a USA - plug - so you extend your electric choices.

I use all of the suggestions you have, except for the USB cords. When I referred to my organizer, I meant the same thing you do. It's an over the door shoe organizer. I can't visualize what you are saying about the USB cords. Re: adapters... To MAXIMIZE outlets, I carry US AND European adapters cause there's usually one of each in the stateroom. As for the poo-purri, when there are gift bag exchanges during the cruise, and when I give gifts to the ship's crew, again, I give poo-purri, along with any additional cash tips. Also, if I am flying, I give a small gift of appreciation to the flight crew, including the pilots, which includes a small spray bottle of poo-purri. Whenever I give tips, no matter the place (cruising, restaurants, taxis), I always include a two dollar bill. Most people in the States have never seen one, so you can imagine how fascinating they are to others. I sometimes bring $1.00 gold coins, but... They can be heavy. I'm still trying to visualize the hanging USB cord thingy... 🤔🫣🤭🚢🧳🍹💃🏿

It is very informative and a lot of people have some interesting and great ideas for cruising. Plus you get to meet ahead of time some people that will be on your cruise and you can end up meeting a lot of new And interesting people!

They hold the raffle right when the ship leaves port. So you have to choose between watching the ship leave or possibly winning something.

I use Downy wrinkle release even at home. First of all you have to wet the item fairly well. Then pull it from side to side and up and down before you let it dry. It has never failed me

Hey Matt, I have a question I hope you or someone else can answer. I have been on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises.. both on Adventure of the Seas.... I had a great time in the Imperial lounge for game nights. I have an upcoming cruise on Allure of the Seas. Does Allure of the Seas have the same game nights in any of the lounges? Name of the lounge? Thanks for the great vid!

I am willing to bet every cruise liner they have does this. My cruise last march on Mariner did. I would just suggest looking at the app just before your cruise because they will post those game nights and the location, if you have free time to explore and look for those locations, I would. Hope this helps!

What about if you want to buy beer at a port to bring home with you. If we take a New England cruise, there are tons of local New England beers and I have a mini bar in my room. I heard that if you were to do that the ship would hold your beer for you is that correct?

It is your room key card that you can also use as your credit card on the ship. At the end of your trip, everything will get billed to your actual credit card. You can use your sea pass to buy drinks (or use your drink package), and other things while on the ship.

By using an agent to book a cruise is easy but if their is a discount why would your agent tell you since they get paid by the more you buy the more they make?

When you get back on the ship, they take whatever alcohol you bought in port, tag it with your stateroom #, and deliver it to you the night before disembarkation for you to carry off the ship. You can buy it, you just can't consume it on the ship.
