On days that we got into port early in the morning, we got room service for breakfast so we could be snacking/munching in our room while getting ready and be able to head right out to explore the port city or get to our excursion.
We also made it a point to go to the nightly entertainment whether it was a song and dance show, ventriloquist or clarinet solo. It's included in your trip so why not? We liked something about every show.
Watch for lectures on the schedule. They often have an expert do an hour or so talk on the history or geography or other highlights of some of the places you'll be visiting. My brother in law's sister had a sweet gig doing that for some line in the Carribean/Central America area. What a dream job - lecture an hour a day, get paid and cruise for free!

Thanks for the ideas! I'm in a fb group specific to our cruise, and people have been asking about the room service. Apparently some things are no cost but the hot foods you have to pay a service fee. Good to know.
I already signed us up for some entertainment options. Can't wait!
That is a sweet gig..... lucky her!
