The article recounts a family's first cruise to celebrate their children's graduations. While they enjoyed the trip immensely, they encountered surprises, particularly regarding phone usage. They regretted not activating airplane mode, which led to hefty charges due to the ship's satellite connection. Additionally, they were unprepared for the cruise's formal night. The author shares valuable lessons for future travelers, emphasizing preparation and the importance of checking guidelines before embarking on a cruise.
Turning our phones on airplane mode would have saved us a lot of money. Our phones are such an important part of our lives that it's almost unheard of to go without them for minutes, let alone days.
Next time, we'll be sure to turn on airplane mode and call our cellular provider to talk about cruise packages.
I wish we would have known about the formal night as typically, we're a jeans and T-shirt family.
We were all excited about the idea, and honestly, everyone had a fantastic time. However, I don't think any of us were completely prepared for our first cruising experience.
