Don't plan too much. We didn't plan any excursions and still didn't have time for everything we wanted to do. I wondered what we would do on CC all day without any extra things planned. Our time was over so quickly! All day felt more like 2 or 3 hours!
Next time we might (not sure) take the later dinner. We felt rushed several times getting ready for dinner and getting there on time. If we would have had a late dinner time we could have enjoyed sailing away from port more and also spent a little more time on CC.
Use lots of sunscreen on CC and then reapply! You will burn faster than you think. Also you might want to pick up some Sea Safe so that your not having to worry about sealice. We also wore water shoes to avoid stepping on a urchin. Didn't want to spend time with the ship doctor!! $$
Don't pack so much! I had way more clothes than I needed. Also I planned for the worst and took way too much for my carry on. It wasn't much fun trying to enjoy lunch and find our way around the ship with bags while waiting for our room to be ready. Also don't pack a hair dryer. I am super picky about my hair and have to have my good dryer with me everywhere I go. Well unless you brought a converter you can't plug it in anyway. I had to use theirs and it was fine. While on deck it is usually windy so I had my hair up most of the time anyway.
I took Bonine the night before our cruise and each night of the trip. I am prone to motion sickness and didn't get sick at all! Whoohoo! With such a short cruise I really didn't want to spend any of it sick and stuck in our room.
I did notice once when it was past time for me to take it again that I started to feel a little yucky. Once I took it I felt better within about 20 minutes.
This was in the theater and that room is forward and you could feel the movement of the ship more. Also keep things tidy so that the last night your not having to take too much time to get your luggage ready and out in the hall for pick up.
We had a mindset that we would be in bed by 10ish every night. We ended up being up till about 1:30 am every night. Crazy for us but it didn't even feel late to us. We were having so much fun we would have stayed up 24/7 if we could have.
Get your pictures BEFORE the last night. It was SO VERY CRAZY and then your trying to decide what to get at the last minute and feel rushed and pressured to buy them.
