Oh gosh Perk, the advice is pretty much the same as for any other cruise. Join in the activities if you want to experiance the fun personally, or watch them to just have some great laughs. Go to the shows, they are great. Eat what you wish and try dishes that you would not try at home, you may find you like them! TALK to the crew. I mean really talk to them and try and get to really meet and understand them. They have some wonderful stories to relate. Get off the ship in the ports and explore, learn about new peoples, cultures and lands, they are fascinating. Learn as much as you can from these boards, knowledge is power and the key to real enjoyment. Do as much or as little as YOU want to do and don;t let any little thing bother you. Have a wonderful time and save up your money as chances are you will end up addicted like the rest of us and unable to stop yourself from booking again right away. <G>
