Some hacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Order 8 steaks at the sit down dining. <\/li><li>Go to the gym everyday (they have 100 pound dumbbells!) The hot sauna is also very good. <\/li><li>Stop by all the places early, and come back early. <\/li><li>Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use Wi-Fi onboard. Disconnect for a week. <\/li><li>Bring your laptop and make some ebooks or e-zines. iPhone is quite useless without Wi-Fi. Laptop is the GOAT when it comes to offline computing. <\/li><li>Guy Fieri burger bar very good. My record is 12 Patties (ask them to just give you burger Patties). Eat with mustard and pickled Jalepenos. <\/li><li>Bring a GoPro. Very fun! Shoot ultra wide (super wide), GoPro hero 10 (1080p, 60fps). <\/li><li>Shoot street photography <em>on<\/em> the cruise ship and <em>off<\/em> the cruise ship.  <\/li><li>The Library room on the cruise ship is very zen. <\/li><li>When you go offshore and go to the beach and water, easiest to just swim in your boxer briefs (Exofficio boxer briefs). <\/li><li>Cabo, Mexico is actually super nice. The beach and water is even more beautiful than Hawaii!!<\/li><li>Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get suckered by excursions. Just get off the ship, walk or call an Uber somewhere (works well in Mexico). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/jYQ0NSEB?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F05%2Fcruise-lifestyle-480_mov_std.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/05\/21\/photo-epiphanies-after-being-on-a-7-day-cruise\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"403493\">cruise thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take a cheap Carnival cruise \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I liked the 7 Day Panorama Mexico one.
