When I was fourteen, I had an amazing opportunity- to go on a weeklong cruise in the Caribbean with my parents and little brother. There were some things that turned out great, but some that weren't so awesome. Be glad you are reading this, because the Trip Goddess is here, and ready to share all kinds of tidbits with you to make your cruise in the Caribbean turns out as nice as you want it to.
All right, I hope you're ready because this may jump around a lot. Just go with it, though, because what I'm going to tell you is some great information.
If you bring kids on your trip, buy them a pop card right when you get there. They run about twenty dollars, but let your kids have unlimited pop during the entire cruise.
Also, I would invest in lanyards with a pocket for a card in them. That way you can put your room and pop cards in the pocket and just wear the lanyard around your neck, no need to worry about stuffing them in awkward places under your sundress. Believe me; everyone will like it better that way.
Another thing I would advise you on is to get maps! When you get off the ship on some random island, you will probably see some shops and a beach, but you could be missing something truly amazing that is only a short walk away. Ask the attendants on the ship for maps and books to help you get around. One book they gave us on our cruise was full of all kinds of coupons, but they were even better than the buy-one-get-one-free variety we usually see in the states. I got a cute charm necklace with three or four charms on it that was completely free. There was a different coupon for each location of a Caribbean jewelry chain, and at each stop I got a different free part of the charm bracelet.
Along the line of buying stuff while you're on vacation, I say bring a lot of money! Don't think of it as an expensive vacation, though; think of it as cheap shopping. Buy some nice things you would buy anyway and you can get them for a lot cheaper. I got an amazing designer perfume for thirty-five dollars on my cruise that goes for around seventy in the states.
