Cruise Tips from Brian Savage

Buzzy, shopping in Cozumel


Cruise Tips from Brian Savage

Bring money to buy us drinks...

(A must!)


Bring a plastic shoe holder to put over your bathroom door to hold your toiletries and wet swim suits etc. since there is little counter space in the bathroom. This is a trick we learned a long time ago.
(Very good idea! There is a retractable clothes line in the shower too. Also they make smaller versions of the the plastic shoe holder for travel purposes. I'll see if I can find a source for those. I have one and don't leave home without it on any trip)


Spend the night before and arrive about an hour early to what they tell you embarkation is.
(Very wise advise, we don't want the ship to leave without you!)


Sea sick...? green apples and most of it is in your head.

(Mr. Reger would have to disagree with the "it's in your head", I have seen him turn the most lovely shades of green. Lots of fresh fruit on board in the buffet restaurant. You can also take the non- drowsy formula of Dramamine or Meclizine-anti dizziness/nausea medicine with you, if you know these don't work check with your Dr for a RX for the patch or other suggestions he/she may have )


Don't bring dress up attire as it takes a whole 'nother suitcase... I don't know if they have a Capt. Dinner on this one, many of the ships are taking this out.
(If you are a past passenger, I believe they still have the "Past Guest" party, be sure to let me know your Past Guest number so you'll get invited to the party)


If you want to purchase something like watches/perfume/camera's etc., check your prices before you go so you know a deal when you see it
(Good idea, wouldn't have thought of that.)


Bring money to buy us drinks...
(Again, a must!)


Let me know if you have any tips or questions and I'll post them on the blog!
