That's more or less all I knew about cruising before flying out of Seattle. I knew there was a formal night, that you were expected to eat dinner at either six or eight in the dining room (you had to choose), that I would have a bottle of Evian for each day of the cruise, and that on Thursday, I was going on a coastal bike tour. Royal Caribbean had provided me with a 119-page pdf of ship activities and shore excursions that so daunted me all I could manage to schedule in advance was the biking outing. I never managed to read the helpful What to Pack page, but I had found a few minutes for the online check-in.
