Most lines allow you to pre-book shore excursions on their websites months before your cruise; doing this saves time waiting in line once on board and it also gives you first dibs on tours that may get sold out later.

Staff Tips
- Astrid BellCruise Product Manager
Planning for a special occasion on board? You may purchase wine, or bon voyage gifts, such as fruit baskets, champagne, birthday cakes, canapés, flowers or other gifts for your stateroom.
Adrienne KeoghSales and Operations ManagerRemember to pack your adaptor! Onboard voltage is 110/220 ac (This would be the average on most ships).
Astrid BellCruise Product ManagerThe most popular tours sometimes sell out and spas can be very busy during sea days, so your first stop should be the Shore Excursion Desk to book tours and the Spa to make appointments.
Claire SomersPersonal Travel PlannerUnless things get particularly dicey, shore excursions will run rain or shine. Pack a rain jacket!
Astrid BellCruise Product ManagerWith most cruise companies, there is 24 hour a day room service, Room service is complimentary although you may want to offer a gratuity to room service staff.
