If you've been on a cruise before, throw away the rule book, you won't be needing it from here on. If you've never cruised before, prepare to be ruined forever because nothing will compare! These are strong statements to make, I know. And believe me, I heard statements like "game changer" thrown around before I took my first Virgin Voyage. But by the very first night I was already convinced. There are certain things I have come to expect from a cruise vacation. No matter which line you cruise on, there are general procedures and common practices that carry over to most of them.
