Being first-time cruisers, we only had information from others who had cruised before. Our best source of information was my sister, who had told me many things to do and avoid while cruising. Her input was so helpful to us and I wanted to share some things that we learned on our cruise.

Our main concern was whether or not we would become seasick on this cruise. We came well-armed with all of the seasick meds.
