Tipping
What is the rule of thumb for tipping?
Aboard most ships, plan on tipping $2.00 to $3.00 per person, per day, for maid service and other services. This is personally handed to staff the last evening of the cruise (you'll find envelopes placed in your cabin that day). Just consider it part of the cost of the cruise and, unless the service was terrible, graciously give it to them. Tipping is really their pay, and most cruiseline staff members make between $30 and $80 per month in salary from the cruise line! Don't forget your waiter and bus boy. Tipping for drinks is usually added right to your bill .

What to Wear
What type of attire will I need to pack ?
No matter what cruise you take or region of the world you visit, daytime attire is practically a uniform: sneakers, shorts/pants, T-shirt and hat. Generally, it really doesn't get any fancier than that. Since most cruise ships have clothing cleaning services, you don't have to take a change of clothing for each day of the voyage unless you want to. Women might take one black evening dress for dinner on the ship one night, on evenings when suggested attire is "formal". A Jacket with a tie is appropriate for men. Don't forget your bathing suit!

Cruise Insurance
Is cruise insurance necessary?
Imagine this scenario: you've booked six months in advance, paid in full and catastrophe occurs. There's a death in the family, loss of job or your wedding plans fall through; or perhaps a hurricane strikes the region you're scheduled to visit.
If you're absolutely positive that nothing could change your plans and you'll never get sick or have an accident, then don't bother with insurance. Everyone else, however, should strongly consider it.
