i thought this would be fun to compile a list of things we should do/don't do/follow when we go on a cruise. just suggest a bunch of things.. i'll go first..
1. don't go on a cruise with a boyfriend/girlfriend at home.
(not a good idea)
2. don't get too drunk.
(judging by our stories.. not a lot of good things happen)
3. remember to get everyone's contact.
(or you'll regret it in the end)
find a group you want to stay with!
and tell people you like them. GRRR!

try staying out on deck with friends at least one night! its really peaceful(except when windy) and its a great place to talk and look at the stars (or fall asleep on the lounge chairs lol)
Be outgoing! Go over and make friends, youll get WAY more that way.
Don't be afraid to act goofy!
Try not to get toooo close to ur cruise buddies but try to make them good friends that you can stay in touch with.
Go on shore! There are wonderful places to explore.
Stay up as late as you can! Everythings better after dark!

yea i went on a cruise with a boyfriend. i didnt do anything with the guy except cuddle and hold hands, but i still felt really guilty when i got home. so i told him and after that he never trusted me and we basically fought for the rest of it.
& kate you totally put the "tell the person you like them" in words the BESTT! ahhh it still drives me nuts.
umm here's a good one:
have fun with a guy (aka have a cruise relationship)
i swear it makes the cruise more memorable.
