Perhaps you have planned and booked your first cruise. You're surely excited about setting off on to the open seas. Life on board a ship is like nothing else and can be intimidating for a first-timer. Here are some things to remember and tips on what to expect.

Floating cities are what cruise ships are like. They have many public spaces and they are also large and complex with several levels. You can find facilities like such as gyms, swimming pools, bowling alleys, restaurants and shopping facilities. It can be easy to get lost just like when you're visiting a new city.

You should first study the map of the sip to get your orientation. Try to determine where your cabin is located and mark it on the map. Making a mental note of large structures that will help you get your orientation such as pools and restaurants is a must in case you get lost. By wondering around the ship, you can discover facilities that are available to the guests. Encouraging you to participate in activities that you usually would not get involved in is doing this sort of activities. Check out the various restaurants; there is usually a 24 hour buffet so you can fill your craving for food no matter what time of day. Determine where the public restrooms and convenience stores are.

There are several information desks so don't worry if you get lost. In fact, don't be afraid to ask if ever you get lost since crew members are very familiar with the ship. Not only will they be happy to suggest other activities, they will also tell you where to find them.

You can also look at the cruise ship's newsletter. There will be a lot of suggestions for activities while you're on the ship. There are suggestions for activities for children and things to keep the adults occupied while the kids are at the pool.

Make a list of the things you'd like to see and do while you're on the ship. If you like to see shows then make sure you plan for them. Arrive in plenty of time to get a good seat.

Don't forget that there will be a mandatory lifeboat drill. The chances of abandoning ship are almost zero because of all of the advanced technology on ships. Paying attention is a must even though boat travel is considered very safe.

Included in the price of the cruise is almost everything on the ship but there are a few things that are not. One of the biggest expenses on the cruise is the alcohol. It's essential to know how much something costs before you order it. Try making a budget for yourself and stick to it and this is especially true if you're on a tight budget.

Chances are, your first cruise will definitely be an experience you won't forget. Orientate yourself with the ships facilities and activities and you're sure to have an enjoyable holiday.
