My first boat cruise
I'm heading out on the pacific island cruise in a few days aboard the Sea Princess for 13 days. Plan to mostly get fat, eat, drink and snorkel on each of the islands. Any tips for new players???

You'll love it mate. We did an 11 day cruze a few years ago.
Was an awesome experience.
A couple of tips, just relax.
Hit up the free buffets for lunches but take time to have a silver service meal.
They treat you like kings.
Enjoy the drinks. I think the wife and I never had a sift drink in our hands. Cocktails and spirits the whole time and it only came to a few hundred..
Don't be shy with the locals. We made some great friends..
And enjoy it.

Firstly have a great time, I expect that forced relaxation can be a good thing.
Have never done a cruise myself. I have however spent time in some of the remoter areas in various islands of Vanuatu & seen the impact (in several places) that cruise ships visiting can have upon the locals outlook on life throughout the year in between the occasional cruise ship visits. To be honest it was heartbreaking to see the difference between villages that were ‘lucky’ enough to get the visits & those that weren’t. Those exposed to the intermittent (& often unreliable) income that a ship disgorging a cargo of large numbers of ‘rich’ tourists can bring to small traditional communities three or four times a year showed all the signs of a culture in disarray, whereas those without such income were more ‘solid’ & happier. Money changes everything. I don’t know the answer to such problems, the locals want the visiting cruise ships to come, I am just commenting on our observations & comparisons we were able to make. When later discussing our experience of one such spot, Champagne Beach on the island of Espiritu Santo, with friends who visited there on a cruise ship, they, like us, had loved the place, but it was as though we were talking about two completely different places!
Not trying to put a downer on your forthcoming holiday, but just offering the suggestion that depending upon what you hope to get from exposure to different culture that awareness of the situation might help you to get more from the experience.
And take care with the kava, it can be deceivingly strong!!!
