Last year I posted some travel tips that we learned after our first cruise (here). This year, a list noting the good, the bad, and the ugly seems appropriate.
SMALLER CLASS SHIP (Serenade of the Seas)
- The Good
- Less expensive
- The Bad
- Less space and activities on board
- The Ugly
- You can feel the ocean a lot... a LOT... I didn't get nauseous, but it sure messed with my head.
CRUISE FOOD
- The Good
- Lots of delicious food and fancy desserts to sample!
- The Bad
- Eating LOTS of delicious food and fancy desserts
- The Ugly
- Stepping on the scale when returning home
PORTS OF CALL
- The Good
- Relaxing on the beach and gazing at the incredibly beautiful ocean
- The Bad
- Forgetting to put sunscreen on the tops of our feet
- The Ugly
- Thong bikinis. OH.MY.WORD. Either these gals didn't have mirrors in their staterooms, didn't have friends to tell them NOT to go in public so under-dressed, or just didn't care. Ewwww!
TRAVEL SIZE TOILETRIES
- The Good
- Cream perfume in a cute little compact
- The Bad
- Possible allergic reaction
- The Ugly
- Hives on my neck - Next cruise will include regular perfume and hydrocortisone cream! Thankfully I had some allergy medicine!
We still packed too much and didn't have all the right clothes (like a dressy sweater for the freezing dining room), but at least ALL of our bags this year had wheels! We're anxiously awaiting Royal Carribean's 2017 schedule so we can plan our next cruise!
Video highlights will be in another post.
