Thank You all. It’s nice that this Blog and the Community (even you Nimrod LOL)is here to help us newbies out.

Another Newbie question (Sorry about all of these), this is a picture of my personal travel bag. I’ve used this bag for years, but I’ve never flown or traveled with it besides on car trips. Since I went to college and worked out of town my Wife would buy these buttons and attach them to my bag as a little reminder of her. My question is: Would I be allowed to use this on a cruise or will all the buttons on it be a problem? As always Thank You for looking/helping with this question.

First timer again, Has anyone used their VENMO card for the cruise? My Wife and I was discussing the option instead of our debit card or a more traditional credit card just in case something gets lost or something worse.

Newbie Cruiser here, A colleague and I were chatting about different vacations and his family is an avid cruiser so I thought, Why Not and booked a cruise a few days after. I literally went to the RC website and just found a date and destination that worked for us and booked it right then. My questions or concern is: Am I missing out on anything by not using a TA? I honestly never knew they existed before i found this Blog about two months after booking. Should I contact one now to ensure I didn't screw anything up or would it even matter at this point? Thank You for taking the time to read this and possibly help out

Thank you for the link Matt. We are first time cruisers that will be on the Independence in September.

Thank you all for the answers. All this is so new to me. I wasn’t sure if all the destinations had some sort of paperwork to fill out to visit them.

My Wife and I are taking our first ever cruise in September and we picked one that goes to the Bahamas. We don’t have passports ( because we have never traveled out of the country before) and we were just going to use our Birth Certificates and IDs. My question is: Do you have to have a Passport to fill out the Bahamas paperwork to visit the islands?

Independence of the Seas

Thank you for all the helpful links as well. I sort of just found this site and message board after my Wife and I decided to book a cruise and I had no idea that you made so much YouTube content. Extremely helpful for a cruise “newbie”

First time “Cruiser” here, What is Royal Up?

we just booked our first ever cruise for September 19th. I'm looking forward to trying it out
