You will love the cruise. I was on a 10 day Caribbean cruise a few years back and it was awesome. Bring some nice clothes. Most people "dress" for dinner. Be prepared to spend money. You are billed for tips automatically and it does add up. You will also want to go into each island, so you'll need some spending moeny. Bring lots of sunscreen and a camera! Enjoy!

I was going to mention this. The only cruise I ever went on, I tipped everyone the whole time and at the end of the cruise, the tv goes into this loop of all the people that are expecting money from me now that it's about over.

I was angry, to say the least, because while I don't mind tipping, forcing me to tip is horseshit and then double tipping...rage.

is that even if you have opted to tip as you go? my co worker said that you could opt out of the automatic tip and we did. anyone know? The plan is to tip as we go but I sure don't want to be surprised at the end of the trip no no no!
