										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gratuities and tipping can be a confusing part of cruising.  What are gratuities and who are they for?  Do I have to pay them?  Who should I tip? When is a tip included and when do I need to add one?  These are just a few of the questions a new cruiser may have.  I hope I am able to answer these questions&#8230;</p>
<h3>Cruise Line Gratuities</h3>
<p>Gratuities per person, per day will be added to your account unless they were prepaid. (Some cruise lines add this charge each day and some add all on  the second to last day of the cruise) This goes to your room steward, MDR wait staff and other behind the scenes personnel.</p>
<ul>
<li>Carnival current rate is $12.95 pp/pd (13.95 for suites)</li>
<li>Royal Caribbean current rate is $14.50 pp/pd (17.50 for suites)</li>
<li>Norwegian current rate is $14.50 pp/pd (17.50 for suites)</li>
<li>These can be removed if you choose to tip in cash on some cruise lines</li>
<li><em>Sometimes first time cruisers are not expecting this charge</em></li>
</ul>
<h3>Tip the bartender???</h3>
<p>Gratuity is added to every drink you buy at the bar or every drink package. No need to tip above unless your bartender is awesome.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1194" src="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Carnival-Cheers-Program.jpeg?resize=1000%2C688&#038;ssl=1" alt="Cruise Tips: Dining &amp; Drinks" width="1000" height="688" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Carnival-Cheers-Program.jpeg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Carnival-Cheers-Program.jpeg?resize=300%2C206&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Carnival-Cheers-Program.jpeg?resize=768%2C528&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Carnival-Cheers-Program.jpeg?resize=436%2C300&amp;ssl=1 436w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<h3>Yes, you can give extra</h3>
<p>You can tip above and beyond the gratuities charged for great service</p>
<h3>Small cash is king!</h3>
<p>Bring small bills ($1s and $5s) to tip on the ship and especially in port. You may need or want to tip a porter for handling your bag, a performer or a special photo op or for a ride (examples: bicycle carts that bring you from the ship into port)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1213" src="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&#038;ssl=1" alt="Cruise Tips: Shopping While in Port &amp; On the Ship" width="2048" height="1365" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?resize=480%2C320&amp;ssl=1 480w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cash.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>
<h3>Specialize your tip</h3>
<p>We like to bring a gift bag for our steward/attendant – (tide pods &amp; dryer sheets are nice to add) – this is the one crew member you will have the most interaction with on board, make them feel special!</p>
<h3>Room service</h3>
<p>Room service is free or comes with a small fee but it is customary to tip the person who brings it to you.</p>
<h3>BE NICE!!!</h3>
<p>BE FRIENDLY to the crew! They will go out of their way to help you, be kind in return!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Cruising can be expensive&#8230; so we try an save money where we can!  Here are some items for cruise shopping at Dollar Tree or your local dollar store.</p>
<p>There are lots of items you need to bring with you on a cruise to make your life comfortable.  Items like toiletries, medications, organizational items, etc.</p>
<h3>Toiletries</h3>
<p>Most cruise ships provide shampoo and body wash in the bathroom&#8230; but that is all.  Dollar Tree has travel size shampoo, conditioner and body wash&#8230; and if you&#8217;re driving they have $1 full-size bottles too.  Also things like deodorants, hair get or hairspray, lotion and razors.  And this is a great place to get a new toothbrush for the trip along with toothpaste, mouthwash and flossers!</p>

<h3>Sunscreen</h3>
<p>There are perfect size bottles of sunscreen with both 30 and 50 SPF.  These are small enough to pack if flying!!!  And remember to buy lots f you are going to the Caribbean, that sun can be brutal!</p>
<p>They also have aloe gel in case you get a sunburn&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1565" src="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5383.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&#038;ssl=1" alt="Cruise Shopping at Dollar Tree" width="2048" height="1536" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5383.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5383.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5383.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5383.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5383.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /> <img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1566" src="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5384.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&#038;ssl=1" alt="Cruise Shopping at Dollar Tree" width="2048" height="1536" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5384.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5384.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5384.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5384.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG-5384.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>
<h3>Medications</h3>
<p>You can build an entire and fantastic first-aid kit from the Dollar Tree!!!  There are band-aids galore, first-aid cream, antiseptics, etc.  And small bottles of every oral medication you can think of&#8230; acetaminophen, ibuprofen, cold medicine, allergy medicine, stomach medicine, antiacids&#8230; you get the picture.  Don&#8217;t go to the drug store for these when you can save serious bucks here!</p>
<p>I like to get one of the large 7-day pill boxes and fill one box with each medication labeled so I don&#8217;t forget what&#8217;s in each one.  This is easier than carrying seven different bottles along.  I also recommend getting cough drops, etc as these items can be very expensive on the ship!  Trust me, I found this out the hard way&#8230;</p>
<p>This is also a great place to get hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes!!!</p>

<h3>Organizational Items</h3>
<p>You have a small cabin and lots of stuff&#8230; so you may want a few organizational items to make the most of your small space.  I like to get pop-up hampers or laundry bags for our dirty clothes.  Clothespins for hanging wet swimsuits on the shower line.  Towel clips for your beach towel.  And many more useful items for $1.</p>
<p>PS &#8211; these little mesh lingerie bags are perfect for collecting seashells!  You can put them in the bag and rinse the sand off of them and they will dry quickly!</p>

<h3>Packing items</h3>
<p>If you are flying you will need to have all of your liquids fit the TSA rules.  You can find small plastic bottles that are perfect for this.  We also like to but shower caps which are 8 for $1.  Why shower caps you ask?  Well to put over your shoes to keep the dirty shoes separated from the clean clothes.</p>

<h3>Cups</h3>
<p>If you are like me, I like to bring my own cup as I drink a LOT of water and those little bitty cups provided just don&#8217;t cut it for me.  Dollar Tree has a wide variety of cups that work great for cold drinks or thermals for coffee.</p>

<p>Now, these are not available all year long, but if you are cruising in the Spring or Summer, you can grab some flippy flops for $1.  And they have a wide variety to choose from!</p>

<h3>Keep in Touch</h3>
<p>If you are not on a ship that has an app where you can connect with your shipmates, or you just decide to go offline, you still need to communicate.  You can pick up magnetic dry erase boards and markers, post-it notes, Sharpie markers and highlighters.</p>

<h3>Door Decorations</h3>
<p>The seasonal area at the front of the store has some great items for making inexpensive door decorations.  In the summer there are great beach-themed items, red, white &amp; blue for Fourth of July, etc.   We like to cruise on Easter week since the kids are out of school so we create Easter-themed decorations.  This is a great idea for any time of the year.  There are always themed items in this area.</p>

<h3>Sunglasses!!!</h3>
<p>Where else can you get a pair of sunglasses for $1???  And these aren&#8217;t crap either.  There are some good looking glasses here!  Especially for kids, they have some really cute ones.  AND they have these fantastic straps that connect to the arms of your glasses so you can hang them around your neck!  Genious for kids!!!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you heard about Carnival Cruise Line releasing photo packages?  There was a lot of excitement and now there is a lot of controversies&#8230;</p>
<p>Carnival announced on March 22, 2018, that pre-purchased photo packages were finally available! Since this was so close to our cruise on April 1st I decided to give it a try. At the time the three options were:</p>
<p>Pixels Package 1: 5 Photos and 1 Canvas Print for $99</p>
<p>Pixels Plus Package 2: All Your Prints for $199</p>
<p>Pixels Plus Digital Package 3: All Your Prints Plus Digital File for $249</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As of April 16, 2018, the package prices are now as follows:</p>
<p>Pixels Package 1: 5 Photos and 1 Canvas Print for $99 &#8211; stayed the same</p>
<p>Pixels Plus Package 2: All Your Prints for $249</p>
<p>Pixels Plus Digital Package 3: All Your Prints Plus Digital File for $399</p>
<p>Note:  these are pre-purchase only!  You must go to Carnival.com to the Fun Shops and purchase your package prior to your cruise.  On the ship, the photos are the same cost as they have always been.</p>

<h3>Our experience</h3>
<p>I really wanted the digital images so we went with the $249 package. A photo package is what you make of it, so we took lots of photos and definitely got our money&#8217;s worth! We got pictures from embarkation day and each port day.  There were photographers in the dining rooms during the Dr. Seuss Green Eggs &amp; Ham Breakfast and also taking pictures in the evenings.  And of course, there are photo ops all over the ship!  On elegant evenings, the backdrops are glittery and well, elegant.  But they had some fantastic casual backdrops too that looked like you were on a beach or standing in front of a cruise ship.  One evening they had special Dr. Seuss backdrops where you could take pictures with the characters or even done the wig&#8230; or full costume and take funny pics.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none;" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&amp;p=48&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=camera&amp;banner=19BENSW5HYBZ4GW74NG2&amp;f=ifr&amp;linkID=9013845faf8184540de18454ac134d64&amp;t=eecctravels-20&amp;tracking_id=eecctravels-20" width="728" height="90" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Here are a few tips of what to expect and how to best use your package:</p>
<h3>Activate your package</h3>
<p>These are pre-purchase packages only.  So you will have a receipt delivered to your cabin on embarkation day of what package you purchased.  You must take this to the Pixels gallery to activate your package.  They will then give you instructions on how it will work.  What we were told, is that at the end of each day our photos will be printed and saved for us.  We were to come after 9:00 PM on the last night to pick them up.</p>
<p>The Carnival Breeze is a digital ship so they do not print all of the pictures.  This is why they have to print ours at the end of each day.  If you are on a traditional Pixels ship, you can go and gather all of the printed photos during the day and they will hold them for you for later pickup.</p>
<p>Fun note&#8230;. the digital only ships are really cool!  They will only print the photos from embarkation, but they have stations (like iPads) all over the ship where you can log in with your folio number and date of birth to browse your pictures.  There is even one in the Pixels gallery that is floor to ceiling so you can view them in almost life size!  We really liked doing this.  Also, you can view them all on the Carnival Hub app&#8230; and if you didn&#8217;t buy a photo package, you can purchase the ones you want directly from the app!  Gotta love technology!</p>
<p>Digital only ships are the Breeze, Magic, Vista, Horizon, Panorama, Conquest, Paradise and Victory.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1250" src="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Breeze5.png?resize=702%2C395&#038;ssl=1" alt="Digital Pixels Gallery" width="702" height="395" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Breeze5.png?w=702&amp;ssl=1 702w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Breeze5.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Breeze5.png?resize=533%2C300&amp;ssl=1 533w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px" /></p>
<h3>Use the right cabin number</h3>
<p>We had two cabins on this cruise and one photo package&#8230;  Let me back up here by saying that yes, this is allowed.  When Carnival first released these packages it stated &#8216;one package per cabin&#8217;; well may people complained and they corrected this.  There are many families like ours, who need two (or more) cabins to be comfortable.</p>
<p>The rules state that one person from one of your cabins must be in the photo. So, yes, your kids can take pictures with friends they meet onboard&#8230; we did!</p>
<p>Ok, so the package was linked to room 1249, but on occasion, one of the kids gave their room number of 1251.  I went to the Pixels gallery and they were supposed to link those photos to our package&#8230; but they did not.  I have put in a request online for these photos and I am sure I will get them&#8230; but what a hassle!  If you are in this circumstance, make sure you use the right number every time!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none;" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&amp;p=48&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=camera&amp;banner=0M7B1T31ZM77YF4HJCR2&amp;f=ifr&amp;linkID=2abb1e73c7d6df086862b0478a90ffff&amp;t=eecctravels-20&amp;tracking_id=eecctravels-20" width="728" height="90" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<h3>You&#8217;ve got it&#8230; use it!</h3>
<p>There are photographers EVERYWHERE!  So if you get the package use it!  We took LOTS of photos!  Keep scrolling to see them&#8230;</p>
<h3>Digital isn&#8217;t completely digital&#8230;</h3>
<p>The digital package will include all photos&#8217; digital copy on a flash drive for all but the last day of the cruise.  So if you are on a seven day cruise, days 1-6 will be on the flash drive but any photos taken on that 7th day will be in print format only.</p>
<h3>Now let&#8217;s see these photos!!!</h3>

<p>These are not all of the photos either!!!  Just a sampling of our favorites!  Each photographer takes multiple shots and YOU GET THEM ALL!</p>
<p>Again, a photo package is what you make out of it.  So I say, if you bought it, then use it!!!!</p>
<p>I am still keeping out the hopes that one day soon, Carnival will come up with an all digital package as this is ideally what my family would like to have.  Then we can print the few we want to frame and have the rest to put in digitally created photo books (Shutterfly) or post, because we all know these photos are going all over social media!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none;" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&amp;p=48&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=camera&amp;banner=1GWHT8CGRRD8T85HE682&amp;f=ifr&amp;linkID=f65a450c70f78621da06c41fa6974cfd&amp;t=eecctravels-20&amp;tracking_id=eecctravels-20" width="728" height="90" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Note: I created this post/video on 4/15/18 and on 4/16/18 Carnival changed the prices of these packages with no warning which has upset MANY people! This is a review of my experience, which was positive! I think $249 for the package is a fair price. Would I pay $399 for the same thing? Probably not&#8230;</p>
<p>If you would like to see this info in video format&#8230; here you go:</p>

<h3>Power strip for additional plugs</h3>
<p>This is one thing that truly shocked me as a major difference between ship&#8217;s cabins and hotel rooms&#8230;. there is only ONE plug in the room!  Definitely bring a power strip or plug extender as you will need it! Just make sure there is no surge protector as these are not allowed!</p>
<p>This is the one I have bought:  I like it because it is small and compact and has three plugs plus three USB ports!</p>

<h3>Decorate your door</h3>
<p>The hallways on a cruise ship run all the way from the very front to the very back of the ship&#8230; and every door looks exactly the same!  Yes, you know about where your cabin is&#8230; and you SHOULD remember your cabin number&#8230; but it is so much easier to be in your hallway and spot your door in a second!  We began decorating our doors a few years ago and now will always do it.  Plus, it&#8217;s fun!  I always create cute and brightly colored decorations that make me smile when I see them. Here are pictures of what we did last year.  Everything came from the dollar store so I didn&#8217;t feel bad throwing it all away at the end of the cruise.  Here is a video on how I made my <a href="https://youtu.be/__nhJE0Vz1Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring Door Decorations</a>.</p>

<h3>SUNSCREEN and bring LOTS of it!</h3>
<p>The Caribbean sun is intense!  It is different from going to the beach in the US for a few hours&#8230;  The Caribbean sun is relentless and bounces off of the clear water.  So being on the Lido deck of a cruise ship is a bad place to be without sunscreen!  We normally pack one bottle of sunscreen per person for a seven-day cruise.  I prefer the spray on application instead of the cream, but the downfall is that they don&#8217;t seem to go as far.  Also, use a high SPF, I recommend 50-70.</p>
<p>It never fails that I will see women on the first formal night in their strapy dresses who are bright red and blistered from the sun.  That dress isn&#8217;t as cute on a lobster, I promise you!  And the men are worse!!!  They have the macho &#8216;I don&#8217;t sunburn&#8217; mentality&#8230; but I have news for them&#8230; Yes, you will burn!!!</p>
<p>Also, aloe gel in case of a sunburn, because they are inevitable&#8230;  I always seem to miss a spot when applying sunscreen and burn there.</p>
<p>This is my preference on sunscreen:</p>

<h3>HAT!</h3>
<p>See above about the sun <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />  Seriously, you need protection from the sun!</p>
<h3>Bug repellent</h3>
<p>If you are going into port and not going to sit on a beach, you may want to bring along some insect repellent!  Heading into the mountains of Jamaica or Belize? Yep, there are bugs in there!  And there is the real chance of Zika so it is better to be safe than sorry and bring some buggy spray.</p>
<p>Here is a good skin friendly, kid-friendly version:<br />

<h3>Disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer</h3>
<p>4,000+ people = lots of germs!!!  There are many hand sanitizing stations on the ship but I always pack extra.  I keep a small bottle in the bathroom and another bottle in our port day backpack.  A small pack of wipes is great too if you want to give the surfaces of your cabin a quick wipe down or you never know when these little beauties will come in handy in port!!!</p>
<p>You can usually find these at the grocery store or dollar store, but here are some options as well:<br />

<h3>Highlighter</h3>
<p>Bring a highlighter to mark the activities on board that you don’t want to miss!  Each day I go through the list of activities and mark the ones I want to do, then I fold it and stick it in my pocket.  Some cruise lines also have an app (Carnival Hub) where you can bookmark these activities and set reminders.</p>

<h3>Post-it notes or small dry erase board</h3>
<p>Bring a pack of Post-it notes and a pen or small dry erase board with a marker for messages.  This is a great way to communicate with your cabin mates if you have decided to go off-line for your cruise!  Just write out a quick note on a post-it and stick it to the mirror letting the other person know where you are or where to meet you.  You can find small dry erase boards with magnets that will stick to the cabin walls.</p>
<p>These items can also usually be found at a dollar store, but here is an option:</p>

<h3>Ziploc bags</h3>
<p>These are great to put your cell phone/camera in while in port or to pack wet things in for the drive home.  Really these magical plastic bags have endless possibilities!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1132 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG-4297.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&#038;ssl=1" alt="Extras to Pack" width="2048" height="1536" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG-4297.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG-4297.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG-4297.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG-4297.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/eecctravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG-4297.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>
<h3>Binoculars</h3>
<p>Bring a small pair of binoculars for looking off of the ship.  We have forgotten these before and the zoom on your camera will work, but it&#8217;s just not the same.  You can pick up a small, inexpensive pair and they will not take up much room in your bag.  This is one of those items that are not necessary but are nice to have.</p>

<h3>Small first aid kit</h3>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how many times this comes in handy!  Especially band-aids!  Someone is bound to get a small paper cut or slip and skin their knee.  More often than not, the band-aids get used for shoes rubbing on your feet&#8230;  I have even started putting preventative band-aids on the backs of my ankles to keep my shoes from rubbing if I know I will be doing a lot of walking.  There is even moleskin in our first aid kit in case a blister develops&#8230; and it has happened.</p>
<p>You can get a small basic first aid kit with almost everything you need in one pack.  Then you can just add any extras you think you may need.  Don&#8217;t forget to throw this into your bag when you go into port too!!!</p>

<h3>Medications</h3>
<p>Over-the-counter medications and also any prescriptions you may need.  I also recommend packing these items in a carry on as it may be late in the day before your checked bags arrive&#8230; or god forbid your bag is lost.</p>
<p>Medicines are VERY EXPENSIVE on board!! Once I developed a sinus infection and had some cold medicine but no cough drops.  They were $7 on board!  This would normally cost $2 in a drug store&#8230;  If they have it, it will be very highly priced.  But there are also some medicines you cannot find.</p>
<p>I like to bring the following: cold medicine, allergy medicine, Tylenol, ibuprofen, upset stomach medicine, diarrhea medicine, heartburn medicine and cough drops.  If you have small children, you may want to bring liquid children&#8217;s medicine as well.</p>
<p>Full bottles are not necessary.  I will get a pill box (you know, one of those that has a box for seven days of the week) and put each kind of medicine in each slot.  Just mark them so you remember what you have!  Here is a picture of what I bring.  The larger one is for my cabin and the smaller one goes in my port-day backpack.</p>

<h3>Pop-up clothes hamper</h3>
<p>I learned this one the hard way on our first cruise when I didn&#8217;t know what to do with dirty clothes for five people&#8230;  Putting them back in the suitcases was a hassle since they were under the bed.  We piled them in an empty closet but as it filled up we were afraid of an avalanche each time we dared to open the door.  So a pop-up hamper solves the problem!  They take up very little space in your suitcase and work beautifully as a place to store the dirty clothes.</p>
<p>We actually pack two: one for clothes and one for underwear.  Here is an example of the larger hamper we use:</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=eecctravels-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B0007CXQQ6&amp;asins=B0007CXQQ6&amp;linkId=b6130ee159d45d3f5b626800d45cddf1&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no">&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br />

<h3>Detergent for laundry</h3>
<p>In case of wanting to do laundry. bring your own detergent pods, dryer sheets &amp; quarters for machines.  They do sell these on the ships that have laundry facilities, but they will be very expensive.  Whenever we travel, I put two dryer sheets and two laundry pods into a ziplock bag just in case&#8230;  I have never used them, but I have them if I need them.</p>
<h3>Tide pen or Shout wipes</h3>
<p>It never fails that someone is going to spill or drop something on their clothing.  I keep a Tide pen in our first aid kit for this type of emergency.</p>

<h3>Downy Wrinkle Releaser</h3>
<p>This is great instead of ironing!  Now, you are not going to get those crisp lines that an iron provides, but it does a pretty good job of shaking out many of the wrinkles.  It works especially well on t-shirts and polo style shirts&#8230; not so well on dress shirts.  But it&#8217;s better than nothing!</p>

<h3>Lightweight sweater or jacket</h3>
<p>It can get chilly on deck at night, so packing a lightweight sweater is a good idea, even for the Caribbean.  And sometimes the dining room or theater can be a bit chilly too.</p>
<h3>Clothespins</h3>
<p>These are great for hanging wet swimsuits to dry on the line in the bathroom.  If you lay a swimsuit across the line, you can fit 2-3 pieces. But using clothespins, you can hang the entire family&#8217;s wet swimwear up to dry at the same time.</p>
<p>You can also use them to weigh down the corners of the shower curtain to prevent water from getting into the bathroom.</p>
<h3>Towel clips for beach towels</h3>
<p>It can get very windy on deck and a sudden gust can whip that towel into your face if you are on your lounger or can send the towel flying if you are using it to hold your space&#8230; for a few minutes while you take a dip in the pool, not for hours while you are enjoying another activity <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<h3>Portable radio</h3>
<p>While in port, you can listen to the local music.</p>
<h3>Seasickness medicine</h3>
<p>Sea Bands, Dramamine or ginger work well.  These are great to have &#8216;just in case&#8217;.  Even those who do not typically get seasick may feel a bit nauseous if the seas get rough.</p>

<h3>Shoe Organizer</h3>
<p>Over the door shoe hanger is great for the bathroom if you have lots of toiletries.  These have 24 pockets, so plenty of room to store everything which keeps the counters neat and clean!</p>

<h3>Lanyard</h3>
<p>I love having a lanyard for your sail &amp; sign card.  It is harder to lose if it&#8217;s hanging around your neck!  And you don&#8217;t have to fish it out of your pocket when you need it.</p>
<p>Here is just an example.  We use what we like!  My oldest son is joining the Marines, so he has a USMC lanyard.  I am a huge Mickey Mouse fan, so you can guess what is on mine&#8230;  And if it does get lost, going to guest services and saying, &#8220;I lost my card with my Mickey Mouse lanyard&#8217; is much quicker to locate than a plain black one.</p>

<h3>Extras for your cameras</h3>
<p>Extra memory cards and batteries for your camera/video camera.  If you are like me, I take LOTS of photos and video while on vacation.  A memory card can fill up quickly and your battery will drain.  It is a good idea to have extras!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When is the best time to book a cruise?&nbsp; Should you book early for peace of mind?&nbsp; Or should you try to snag a last-minute deal?</p>
<p>We have always booked our cruises very early.&nbsp; Usually nine months to a year in advance. We do this for a couple of reasons: 1) price protection that if the price of the cruise drops (and we are paying attention), we can request a price adjustment and 2) we normally need more than one cabin and booking early guarantees we get two cabins together and in the location we want on the ship.</p>
<h4>Here is what Carnival says about their Early Saver Promotion:&nbsp;</h4>
<blockquote><p>Early Saver will be available up to 61 days prior to sailing for short cruises (5 days or shorter), up to 76 days prior to sailing for long cruises (6 – 9 days), and up to 91 days for Alaska, 10 + days and Europe sailings. Early Saver guests are eligible for price protection up to 2 business days prior to sailing</p>
<p><strong>Is Early Saver still considered the lowest available rate?</strong></p>
<p>Early Saver will be the lowest available core rate when open. Qualifying and promotional fares, which are available to limited audiences and/or booking windows, can be priced lower than Early Saver.</p>
<p>Super Saver and Pack &amp; Go may be priced lower than Early Saver but they come with more restrictions and do not have cabin assignment.</p></blockquote>
<h3>But what about late booking deals?</h3>
<p>But more and more I am seeing emails and articles on booking last minute.&nbsp; I believe to make this worthwhile, it would need to be a good deal on a cruise at a port you can drive to.&nbsp; I began drooling last year after Alaskan cruises for $399 per person!!!&nbsp; Only to check the airfare and it was more than the cost of the cruise.&nbsp; We are lucky enough to live near two ports (New Orleans and Galveston) but have yet to book a last minute cruise.</p>
<p>I came across this press release which provides more in-depth information on the cruise industry and when is the best time to get the best bang for your buck!</p>

Data provided by cruisewatch.com</p></div>
</figcaption></figure>
<p>The site&#8217;s massive study examined 18,983 sailings by region with departures in 2017, and found a surprising trend: as the date of departure approaches, cruise prices fluctuate to a greater extent. Some regions even show up to a 71% price reduction on fares. However, there are huge differences between destinations to keep in mind.</p>
<p><strong>Short-Term Planning Can Really Pay Off</strong><br />
According to Cruisewatch.com&#8217;s intensive data analysis of over 1.8 million data points, many of the world&#8217;s 15 cruise regions show the highest maximum price reduction between 75 and 55 days before departure. These include&nbsp;North America&nbsp;(71%), the&nbsp;Middle East&nbsp;(64%),&nbsp;South America&nbsp;(56%), and&nbsp;Southern Europe&nbsp;(59%).</p>
<p>&#8220;When booking a cruise, if cruisers are flexible with their cabin choices, they could save significant amounts of money simply by booking their cruise last minute,&#8221; explains Cruisewatch CEO and co-founder&nbsp;Markus Stumpe. &#8220;In fact, spontaneous travelers could save up to 61% on Hawaiian cruises by booking&nbsp;<span class="aBn" tabindex="0" data-term="goog_1954937589"><span class="aQJ">within 3 weeks</span></span>&nbsp;of the departure date!&#8221;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering when to book a cruise to get the best price, you could soak up both the sun and the savings with short-term booking.&nbsp;Hawaii&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mexico&nbsp;are the best regions for this option. The best time to book Hawaiian cruises is 21 days before departure, and Mexican cruises can offer up to 46% off&nbsp;<span class="aBn" tabindex="0" data-term="goog_1954937590"><span class="aQJ">within 32 days</span></span>&nbsp;prior to departure.</p>
<p><strong>When to Book Caribbean Cruises for the Best Price</strong><br />
The&nbsp;Caribbean&nbsp;is America&#8217;s favorite cruise region, and this popular playground boasts maximum price reductions of 51% off when you book around 59 days before departure. Furthermore, the trend extends to the nearby region of&nbsp;Bermuda, where maximum price reductions of 46% off happen exactly 51 days before cruises set sail. This means that cruise enthusiasts looking for a dose of Vitamin D can save around half off their trip by booking at the right time.</p>
<p><strong>Choose the Right Regions for Long-Term Planning</strong><br />
According to Cruisewatch, some regions maintain fairly consistent pricing.</p>
<p>&#8220;For those who like to plan ahead,&#8221; says Markus, &#8220;regions like&nbsp;Australia&nbsp;(35%), the South Sea (27%), and&nbsp;Alaska&nbsp;(19%) are good choices. These regions see relatively small price fluctuations, and they tend to happen 85 days before departure.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, some regions still offer fair price reductions&nbsp;<em>and</em>&nbsp;more planning time. These include:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Northern Europe&nbsp;(45% off 70 days pre-departure),</li>
<li>Galapagos cruises (39% off 79 days pre-departure),</li>
<li>Asia&nbsp;(38% off 84 days pre-departure), and</li>
<li>Transatlantic or Transpacific cruises (41% off 73 days pre-departure).</li>
</ul>
<p>While these regions may not offer as extreme price drops as&nbsp;Hawaii&nbsp;or the&nbsp;Caribbean, knowing when to take a cruise to these locations can still save consumers a significant amount of money.</p>
<p><strong>Big Data Leads to Big Results</strong><br />
Unlike other cruise or booking sites, Cruisewatch.com focuses on keeping things clear, simple, and personalized for consumers. They offer 100% free, automatic updates on when to book a cruise for the best price on their website. They also regularly conduct research to find new insights for cruisers, who love their accurate, industry-leading price prediction analytics.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are leveling the playing field and offering consumers up-to-date technology to make the right decisions,&#8221; says the Cruisewatch.com CEO.</p>
<h3>Thoughts???</h3>
<p>I think this is great information but each family will have to decide what is best for them.&nbsp; As long as we need two cabins, I feel I need to book early.&nbsp; But if it is just the adults wanting a getaway then a last minute deal may work great for us!</p>
<p>I wonder if I am meant to book my next cruise this way&#8230; two emails in one day&#8230; I just received this one from <a href="https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=2075&amp;et_cid=3044621&amp;et_rid=191690446&amp;et_referrer=features_nudge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cruise Critic</a> on snagging unsold cabins!</p>
<p>Let us know how you usually book your cruises!&nbsp; We would love the feedback!</p>
