First cruise booked any tips

[pdcdad]

We have just booked a cruise to the Caribbean never been on a cruise before any tips for a newbie.

We have been several times on a cruise to the carribean, one tip no need to book any expensive cruise excursions as the tour operators will be waiting on the quay by the cruise terminal at a much cheaper price. Which ship are you going on?

[pdcdad]

We are going on the breamar.
We are looking forward to it but don’t really know if it is for us but unless you try you will never know

It is Fred Olsen ship
Is it best to plan to do your own excursions? We are happy to do that as we have travelled a lot but do you find the planned ones better?

Pop over to the cruise forum! 😁

I work for Fred Olsen, and have cruised on Braemar many times, she is a lovely little ship, and you will find staff and food fantastic.

Any questions feel free to pm me.

Thank you all feeling very excited about it now

Louise .. would you be able to answer questions here instead? It would really help other people choose which cruise ship/line is best for them if they could read up on the different questions asked about each ship/line.

If people just PM the questions, it's only helping the one person.
Or, if you wanted to do an 'everything you need to know about FO', that would be really helpful and we could make it a sticky.

Thanks
Joa
