Congratulations! You're going to have a great time. As all your questions, we have many experienced cruisers here who can help you out.


I would wait until you get on the cruise and experience the service first had before you tip.

You can get as formal as you wish or, I also saw some pretty casually dressed people as well. Whatever you feel like doing.

I wouldn't bring the laptop unless you REALLY think you'll need it. You are on vacation, no need to worry about anything else but relaxing and having a great time.
