The first place to start is by looking at the deck plan of the ship. When you choose your room make sure you know what is around it. If there is a club right below your room or a casino above it you may have to put up with noise all night long.
Also make sure that you are closest to the amenities that you seek most. If you want to go to the pool every day you will probably want a room near the rear of the ship but if you are an early riser and want to beat the breakfast rush choose a room close to the dining area. Be aware of what is around you so you know what to expect.
Comfort The more people you have in a vehicle, the more difficult it will be to please them all at the same time, especially if the passengers are young children. If you have a rather large party it is recommended to drive in two separate cars if possible. Having too many people in one car is not only more difficult to please but also a lot less comfortable for everyone. Of course, be sure that you have enough seatbelts for everyone in your car.
Food Inevitably, at least one person in the car at all times will be hungry. Do not plan on just using the drive-thrus and gas stations along the way to placate this hunger. Pack food and snacks ahead of time for moments such as these. In order to avoid complaints double check with everyone that the snacks you are packing is something that they will actually be willing to eat.
Professors Many times we think of professors being stuck behind a cloud of academia or huddled behind a load of books in their offices, but there are actually a lot of travel opportunities for professors depending on their fields of study. They may be able to lead a study abroad and teach students how to apply their skills and help them build overseas networks.
Travel to the Ship When you are traveling on your way to the ship make sure to head at least a day early. Drive the long distance the first and stay the night. If you are leaving from New York stay in a hotel in norwalk Connecticut and if are leaving from San Diego look for a place nearby. The day of your cruise departure should be very little travel. This way you can avoid any last minute problems with the car and get to the ship without any unnecessary stress. You can even plan to stay a few days in the port town to sight see and recover from any jet lag if you flew.
Boarding the Ship If you decide to drive to the ship remember that parking costs money. When you get to your terminal you can expect anywhere from eight to fifteen dollars a day in parking. As you take your stuff out of the car and hand over your luggage to the porters make sure to give them a good tip. These people are in charge of making sure your bags get to the ship and then to you safely. Avoid any foolish risk and give a good tip.
As you board the ship you will be asked to listen to a mandatory safety briefing and although it says it in the name you cannot skip it. The stewards will check every single room in the ship and leave a little slip to state that no one was in the room, so be aware of it. You should now be on your ship, in your room and ready to set sail. Hopefully these tips helped you to better enjoy your cruise.
