No need for any Tips.....This will be My 12th Cruise !!

But you are right....you need to find a way to get your own booze on board.....My First Cruise...didn't know better and my Bar tab was like $900

I'm very interested in a cruise.....

...my gf gets sea sick.....how stable are these huge ships?

I have never been on a cruise but would love too. I bet there are a lot of sluts on those ships!

you can buy booze on the islands and I dont think they confiscate it on board..
customs only allows so many MLs of booze from all those duty-free shops.

it was like the second or third trip the ship ever made out BETALL.. practically a brand new ship.
had the ice skating rink.. didn't see that though.. left outta miami

These ships are like being on a Floating CITY....but just in case...they have Pills,Patches, a Band ..all kinds of stuff to keep everything cool with her.

But it is in No way like being on say a 22' boat ...you are that ship, and you forget that you are at Sea...Amazing

Now if you want to FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY...Crystal Cruises !!

They have there Own Jetskis that you can take right off the ship !
Best Everything.....But You Will have to Pay $$$$$$

Not sure if I can Do it for 25 Days !! Longest I have done is 10 Days
and I either Leave out of PR or FL

yikes a 25 day cruise would be nutz. For me 3 or 4 night cruises are more than enough.

I like cruises too. 7-day cruise is just about right, 10 max. 3 or 4 days is too short, half the time would be spent getting on, off or acclimated. 25 days and you'd lose all perspective on the world.

Is that a bad thing...%^_


All I remember my cousin raving about was that they had their own private chef, and they had their own exclusive private pool for themselves.


I agree 7 to 10 days on a cruise is perfect-- except the wasteline:drink::drink:

Avoid Carnival like the plague! They alow people to finance their cruises. Food sucks, people are ignorants fucks.. I did have a good time playing 5-10 limit, there were plenty of fish. I believe the front of the ship we felt alot of motion, that was where they had the casino set up; not good. I would love to do another, won't be Carnival, probably Royal Carribean.

Have a great cruise Betallsports, from the sound of it you would have a good time on a 15 foot raft :toast:

Leaving for a seven day Mexican Riviera cruise on Sunday. Going Royal Caribbean. Need tips on the best way to smuggle booze on board as I have been a victim of the large bar tab on a cruise before. Agree with previous poster, avoid Carnival with your life. They're crooks and the ships are like floating ghettos compared to other lines.

I don't have any idea on how to get booze on board. i thought it was legitimate.

Had some Mango rum from Puerto Rico... was bomb.. somebody got pinched for bringing shrooms on the boat in front of me when going through the x-ray

Been on a few cruises...carnival and also royal. I will chime in that if your a single guy looking for some hot chicks ready to party...ahve found carnival pretty resourceful in that area...agree their far from the most luxurious.
