I was thinking this too. Scrubs are so comfy! Plus, pockets!

I don't bother with travel insurance but medical insurance for traveling is a must!

First of all, lots of people don't dress to theme, so it'll be fine if you don't have white clothes or 70's themes. How many nights is your cruise? The number of formal nights is pretty set. Is it the first cruise of the season? If not, use the app to see what they're doing the cruise before, it will be very similar if not identical. Have fun!

If 12 bottles are enough you can bring them with you. A la carte you can buy fresh squeezed juices but not most other juices.

That's not allowed, if you get caught you'll lose your beverage package with no refund.

Is that different than the towels and sheets?

We had the reverse. We had to eat pretty early because all the later times were full. The lines got insane later in the evening, though.

This was one of my big problems on my cruise. An ocean sunrise is stunning, but I want a coffee to sip while I watch! I would have been willing to spring for a specialty coffee if only there was something!

"Iced Coffee" is actually a very regional phrase! Some places mean a blended coffee drink, some mean an Americano/Cappucino poured over ice, some mean cold brewed. My friend works at a bakery/coffeeshop and always asks for clarification when a tourist orders iced coffee.

No Johnny Rockets and no Ben and Jerry's. You'll be able to get milk but no milkshakes.

If you're in Israel proper they won't take dollars, but you can use credit cards for basically everything (anywhere without a reader will have a deal with a place that does, don't worry if they take you to a different stall to pay). If you're in PA most places will take dollars. Source, I live in Israel.

I think Jewel is moving to Haifa next summer anyway.

You could also look for Bein Hazmanim dates. The yeshivas have vacation for just under 3 weeks- between Tisha B'Av (mourning for the temples) and Rosh Chodesh Elul, so you can Google when those dates fall on the Gregorian calender for any given year.

Any Cafe where you can buy premium coffee. I recommend tasting a cup first to see if you think the premium coffee is good enough to pay for.

The port is not accessible by car (at least, the old port isn't). So you have to take the cable car/path/donkey before and after the cab. It gets insanely crowded, leave plenty of time to get back to the ship (hours if you can't walk the path in a pinch) .
