Airbnb is one of the best sites about there right now for vacation rentals. I have never heard of someone having a bad experience with them and you get to cook in house!

Woo! Way to go with the savings! I'll have to look into doing that sort of stuff for my next cruise. We are looking into celebrity and waiting for a sale so that we could potentially get more credit, then looking into TA to transfer the booking to for more!!
Oddly, on previous Norwegian cruises, we too have had random OBC show up..thoough nothing in the amount of $600, more like $30, which is still great.

1. How much fun Sea days are! Ports are great, but real relaxation where you don't have to be ANYWHERE by a certain time (except dinner) only come from sea days.
2. Pack half as much as you think you'll need
3. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Pack as much as you can because it is EXPENSIVE onboard.
4. Booking a cabin mid-ship and near (but not too near) to an elevator shaft is super convenient when you forgot your camera at dinner time and need to run back to the room.
5. Use your OBC and spending money wisely. The first day could wipe you out and then you'll feel guilty the rest of the trip....on the same note, try and bring alcohol in using stealth methods.

What I've done in the past is buy a bottle of alcohol and a hand bottle of soda, then pour most of the soda out and a lot of the alcohol in, then bring it onboard. It'll taste different and be diluted depending on what you mix it with. But does the trick :)
Also, I've read on here that during embarkation, a cruiser bought a 'to go' large container from dunkin' donuts and filled it with a new plastic container full of alcohol and no on questioned him through security as he walked it on through security. I've also heard camel baks in backpacks work well.
Much of these are simply 'hiding in plain site'
