Getting bored on the ship β€” There is a ton of stuff to do, including poolside contests, clubs, shows, and kids' clubs, so you won't be bored.
Room categories without windows β€” Know that inside rooms have no view, and choose a room category based on your personal preference for views or balconies.
Dress codes on the ship β€” Dress codes exist but are not overly formal; they mainly apply to the main dining room, and you can enjoy other venues in casual attire.

With larger ships today reaching as tall as 16 stories high and holding between 3,500 and 5,000 passengers in one go, it is like a small town setting sail!
