OK--so you all know I've never been on a cruise before. Many of you have commented to me that you have--so I have questions for you!
1. Someone told me yesterday that it costs $8 a minute to use the internet on the ship. Ouch! What I need to know is, what else costs a lot on board? I don't drink, so I don't have to pay for alcohol. I also know that it's going to cost me on the shore excursions. So what can I expect to pay for on the ship?
2. Did you get seasick? I get seasick on ferries. I've already gotten a prescription for the motion-sickness patch. Will I need it?
3. Some people have said it's cheaper to organize your own shore excursion adventures instead of doing it through the ship. What do you think?
4. How did you sleep? Did the motion of the ship trouble you?
5. How much cash do you need? Can you use your Visa-ATM card on the shore excursions? Is it better to use cash on shore?
6. How bad do those big Vegas-style shows suck?
7. How much did you lose in the Casino?
8. Did anyone on board have as many tattoos as I do (full sleeve elbow-to-shoulder on both arms, back)?
9. Is everyone young and skinny or old and wrinkled or middle-aged and fat?
10. I know that the main meals are paid for. But there is also a buffet, a sushi bar, a pizza parlour--are they all covered as well? Also, do you have to pay for soda (I know you do if you get it from the bar)?
Looking forward to your answers!
