Welcome to NBC-Travel newsletter's first issue.  Each issue will cover some helpful hints or suggestions to help you enjoy your next cruise vacation.

This issue's topic is where to eat the night before the cruise begins and the day after you disembark (prior to your trip home).

One of the greatest parts of a cruise vacation is the eating!  While on board the ship, your food will be taken care of between your assigned meal seatings (make sure to carefully consider if you are an "early bird" or a "late riser" prior to choosing between the early seating or the late seating) and during the free style buffets, the ship will have during the cruise.

However, the day(s) prior to your cruise, any meals you may have on cruise excusions, and any day(s) after you disembark, you are responsible for your own eating arrangements. 

Since you will more than likely be in a new town that you are not familiar with, I suggest using one of the following to save up to 50% off your dining experience while you're on the cruise (or at home!).
