Do they check a person for eatable when boarding a cruise?

Hey all, going on my first cruise in a few weeks. I have done a ton of research into what to pack and there are a million different pack lists. Does anyone have a pack list they swear by?

im from miami and want to go on a cruise with my partner. we dress alt and would like a scenic cruise with some kind of elegant aesthetic.

party cruise would also be fine.

we are 18+

Going on Celebrity Apex ship in one week and the Celebrity app doesn't work on my phone (Samsung galaxy S21 Ultra! So why not?). I'm trying to figure out if I can use app features thru chrome web browser on my phone with the basic WiFi. I'm going with a group of 19 extended relatives who will be texting me throughout, aka lots of fun. Should I upgrade one phone to premium WiFi? I think my husband's phone will download app, but I'm the techie one who would want to upgrade. Any apex experience with Wi-Fi's and app vs no app???

I spoke to some reps in the Chat at NCL and all they said is "small and fix in luggage" not to helpful any one been on a cruise this year and let alone let me know if the rooms are actually cold? im in a balcony. I know in years past the inner rooms suck when it comes to COLD rooms/AC

Out of curiosity what’s the typical demographic of people on cruises? Like mostly older/a lot of kids/etc. I’m 25 and doing symphony of the seas this summer

What has been your experience of Starlink Internet service on Seabourn or other cruise lines? How was latency? Do video chats work smoothly? Games? etc.

So I live in the rural Midwest. My mom really wants me to go on a singles cruise for some reason. Anyone here been on one? Would it be worth the money and a 4 hr plane ride to get on the ship

Just got off msc meraviglia yesterday. If you are one of those people I saw on the buffet line, while u wait your turn, picks food on your plates, licks your fingers after to clean off that excess cheese, or salsa, or whatever And then proceeds to touch the tongs/ serving spoons to top-off food. You are disgusting and gross. That’s All.

We are leaving in a few weeks for our cruise and can't wait because we booked a day at the Paradise Beach club in Cozumel. Booked the all inclusive package. It will be myself, my wife and our 2 kids aged 8 and 7. What would be the recommended amount to tip our server?

Hey! I am looking at sailing on a Margaritaville cruise mid-August for my bachelorette party. I ended up looking at this cruise line due to cheap cost. We have few ladies in college with less money to spare. I have traveled with my parents on Princess and RC, but I do recognize Margaritaville is a step down in luxury.

My concerns - is this cruise line geared to an elderly crowd? How are the late night activities on the cruise ship? Grand Bahama Island looks kinda lame, but did you have a fun time nonetheless? Did you pick an excursion or did your own thing on land? Does the cruise line offer unlimited alcohol drink packages?

I would love any insight you have! Any upgrades that are worth it?

EDIT: Sea Paradise is the ship, if that helps!

What are your thoughts on this? Personally doing this on the pearl the jokes write themselves.

What are recommendations for hotels to stay at the night before embarking with two kids (8 and 5)?

I normally drive the day of but next year’s cruise leaves during the work week instead of the weekend so I want to drive the night before to not deal with work traffic

Has anyone heard of or been on this Medeterranian cruise? We go in 3 weeks and first time cruisers, a little nervous. Anything we need to take or know about before we go?

We’ve recently returned from a Disney cruise out of Galveston and it was the best cruise ever which I later realized was because all the passengers and crew we encountered were just really friendly, interesting, and likable people.

What is the general social vibe of the different cruise lines? We’ve only sailed Disney.

We are professional millennials with young children from the West Coast. Not into casinos or being constantly drunk, but would like to mingle and make new friends.

Looking to plan a cruise for my friend group - everyone is between 21 and 24 - would love to hear some recommendations! Looking for a mix of low key/relaxing activities, some more on the adventurous side and the ability to drink and party :)

We are on a cruise in June that ends at Dover, UK and then we are taking the train in the afternoon to London. Are there taxis/shuttles to get to the train station or do I need to arrange something beforehand?

Thanks!

We are about to book a cruise to Iceland and Greenland this summer and are wondering if anyone has been and what excursions they enjoyed.

Ports are: Isafjordur, Nuuk, Paamiut and Qaqortoq. It is a multi generational group and we know we may have different interests and may choose different things and that some may be limited due to walking and terrain.

Any advice on a day of pre-cruise sightseeing in Reykjavik is also welcome!

Thanks!

My husband and I are going on an Oceania Mediterranean cruise this fall. Would love to hear from anyone who has been… which ports are the best to use our excursion $$ on? Which places can we skip to enjoy the ship for another day? How dressy should we be for dinner on Oceania? Thanks.

Hello all.

I am going on a princess cruise tour and really excited about going for Denali National Park. However. I am so so sad that the coach leaves at around 2pm for McKinley Chalet. I wanted to go for the tundra wilderness tour and was hoping that I could get a 6am or 7am tour. However, I called the company that books those tours and they said they cannot guarantee an early pick up and the pick up can be between 6am and 11am. The tour lasts 5 hours so if I am late with departure time and I am picked up by 8am, it cuts me close to the coach departure time.

The whole scheduling by princess seems super fucked up. How can I visit the park? Are there any options or suggestions.

I'm planning to take a 7-day Princess cruise (Vancouver to Whittier) in mid-May. They have a On Your Own Cruisetour option for an extra $1000 (per couple) that includes 3 extra night in Alaska (25-28 May):

• 1 night at Mt. McKinley Princess Lodge
• 1 night at Denali Princess Lodge
• 1 night in Fairbanks
• transportation included

Initially, I wanted a DIY road trip for flexibility and potential cost savings. However, the 3-night accommodations alone could cost $500+, plus the car rental, gas, and bus fares from Whittier to Anchorage. This makes the Princess tour might be more affordable.

However, I have some concerns:

• Denali Park: Can I explore Denali affordably without a car, or do I need those expensive cruise excursions?
• Lodge Hopping: I'm worried that splitting my time between two lodges in Denali will limit my park exploration.

Please advise

I have never been on a cruise but I’m seriously considering one. I’d like to do a Caribbean cruise or one to the Bahamas with my husband and our 3 children. Here’s the thing though, I get terribly sea sick. It’s so bad that almost every boat I’ve been on out in the ocean has made me violently ill. My husband said that I can get a patch from my doctor, but does it really work? I’m wondering if anyone could share their experiences with something like this. The last thing I want to do is embark on a 6 day journey and be so sick that I’m not able to enjoy it or spend time with my family.

I am looking at a QM2 Cunard crossing and my agent just revealed it has the Ananda Ballroom Dance Cruise group on it.

I read a thread before about specialty groups taking over what are usually public spaces and it effecting guest experience. Can anyone elaborate - this is a special trip and i'll switch crossings if it's going to be less than optimal.

We'd like to take a family cruise this summer. It would be me, my wife, and 2 daughters (17 and 14). Depending on the dates, the 17 year old may be 18. Her birthday is 6/21.

We aren't really picky about cruise lines, or really even the itinerary. We'd like to cruise out of Charleston, Jacksonville, or Canaveral (or anywhere in between). Anywhere from 4-7 days depending on cost.

What sites would we be able to get the best deals from?

I won a poker tournament. Prize is $1250 credit towards a cruise, and a 1200 entry into the poker tournament.

It's Oct 27- Nov 3 on Norwegian Jade, sailing out of Miami.

I can't make the cruise due to other obligations. Are we allowed to sell here? If not, where could I potentially sell this?

I've got numerous positive feedbacks on various different platforms.

Hello all.

Just for fun I placed a bid upgrade of $310 to go from balcony to mini suite. We are a family of three of us staying together. Do you think it’s a waste of money or well worth it?

Is it allowed to buy pharmaceuticals at the little roadside pharmacies in like cozumel port or costa maya and then bring those pills back on the ship? I would love to find my Adderall for cheaper than I pay here but I am a rule follower and don't want to risk bringing them back on the ship if it's not allowed.
