how old are you? If you're under 18, theres nothing to do. If you dont drink, like me, there will still be nothing to do, even if you're over 18, except the casino. The stops are real chill though.

you can't drink hard stuff on the cruise, just beer I believe. I didn't order anything, so not sure on the details. At the different places like Puerto Rico and such you can pick up some Bacardi, because that's the pride of some of those islands.

you can drink what ever you want on a cruise,
that is where they make a lot of money, louis X1v scotch which is like 30.00 a glass, ect that & the casino. there is somthing new everyday, kareokee,
movies, eat like a pig, if your doin the mexico thing that is good cause you have a lot of port calls instead of being just at sea. in every port there are activities (they cost extra however) in mexico you can ride horse or hoes on beach. if your goin with crystal or silver seas they are 5 star & the best but boring rich people
Holland america/Carnival/Royal Carrabean/Princess
& celebrity are the best for having fun. seabourn is good too but small,
tell me which ship you are going on I'll tell you more. Even some contact on board.
by the way Cunnard/Holland america/Windstar/seabourn/Princess are all owned now by Carnival Corp they just kept the names for traditional reasons

thats a older carnival ship, built like 15 years ago but still real big and Carnival arereally well geared up for kids.
never been up that one. its definitly been refitted
and upgraded. been on carnival Legend which is bigger/newer. they are real cool crew on carnival
they are like 4 star. 24 hrs buffet. that one probebly has 2 or 3 pools, tennis basketball courts, you can hit golf balls into the ocean also or play mini golf/rockwall
they will have all sorts of participation games for you to play and you'll def have lots of fun. go bug the Hotel director, F & B manager they'll give you some freebies, make friends with the crew philipinos, like the
engine store keeper, CETO (chief electrical & Technical officer, housekeeping people, they will
give you some good tips on what to do. they are always nice people & friendly
Stay away from the Chief Off (Deck officers} people with stripes on their shoulders with the fancy white (summer) or Blue uniforms (winter)they are usually real uptight assholes.

If you politely complain about somthing to the Hotel Director he will do his best to make you a happy customer. but you must be polite.

You are gonna have a good time, thats one thing that is for sure

if you are doin alaska thats the best cuise out there
or new england/canada one is good also.

only bad thing with carnival is the Lobster supper
its going to be frozen lobster tails (not fresh)
and no claws. its actually craw fish I think.
but that is how it is now to be competitive they are
all doin that, except for the 5 star ships which will serve actual fresh cooked Lobster

Cruises are the best vacations ever. I have been on a couple. I was just on a 8 day carribean. I am 23 and they are sweet. If you are under 21 you can still get booze. Just make friends with some older drunken folks. It's easy because there are a lot of chill people that will hook up the young peeps; trust me. They serve all kinds of alcohol on a cruise, not just beer. Pool it during the day, go to the clubs in the evening, get laid at night.

you are one giant piece of internet suck -...focus....

just make sure you don't accidentally climb aboard a gay cruise, cause then you'll be surrounded by a bunch of Tomb Raiders and their fancey drinks and naturally you will get drunk and if you get drunk and the ham riders get drunk.....well all I can say is you should duct tape your poo butt closed.

I live in a place far far away, where on occasion the telly tubbies will come to play....and that's when Ma gets out the shotgun. Damn critters climb in our gutter system all the time.
