My fave thing to do on cruises is to sit by the pool and read a book all day. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to get off the boat and do some excursions, but my main thing on a cruise is to relax and really do nothing. I also of course like the all inclusive food that is offered on board all cruises, I mean, who doesn’t like that stuff right?

Other than that, most all inclusive cruises offer great aminities and we try to take advantage of all of them for the money we pay. Cruse vacations are not cheap and we make sure to get all of our own money worth every single time.

Most of us at some point have attended a concert and way over paid for the hotel within walking distance. For instance Bon Jovi is going to Fargo in March. Now everyone and their mother is looking for a good Fargodome hotel. One that is within walking distance and right next to some watering holes. The best time you can possible book a room and save some good money is to book the first minute info becomes available. Chances are not all hotels in a given area are going to get the memo that a band is coming to town for a few hours or days.

When that info gets around that a big show is coming all of the rates go up that weekend because hotels know that every room will be filled and they can. If you know that info before them you are in a good position to book a room for the standard rate. Planning in advanced which show you want to attend and being on the hunt for new concert dates can save you some good money. Now you can splurge on the $6 beers knowing you saved on the room. Cheers!

The first thing you should know before planning for a cruise trip is the reason why you are opting for a cruise holiday on Carnival. This will make it easy for you to decide which cruise to choose. It is difficult to make a choice when the number of options available is many.

When you have made a selection, make sure you do a research about the cruise. This would just ease up the trip for you as you will have an idea about the ship. You will know the details about the time plan and the luggage tags, embarkation etc.

You can join the discussion forum on the website to know the experience of the other people who have been on the cruise. This will also help your decision. You might get to know some people who are regular cruisers and they will be able to share certain good tips with you. You might also get to make some new friends who are going to be with you on the cruise.

Knowing your ship will also benefit you as you will come to know about what is available there and what you need to carry with you. Also know about the shore excursions you will be taken to. You can get the cruise line to organize the shore trips for you or you can organize them yourself. Compare the cost and then take a decision.

Do not carry too much stuff with you. Only carry the stuff that you actually need. Make sure you carry a formal dress as most of the cruise lines have a formal night that you have to attend. You should also take some medications along so that if you have some medical emergency, you can at least give some first aid and do not have to face any problem.
