    My 1st cruise, i remember everyone telling me how i will gain weight etc. I also had the exact same mindset as your #3 tip. I was excited about all the HEALTHY choices, because first of all, i love healthy food: salmon, other fish, salads, fresh veggies, wild rice, fresh fruit. I was perfectly content eating those with occasional dessert. With all the exercise and walking around, i also lost weight during that cruise.

Forget tipping, maybe you'll be considered as Scottish. 4. Refuse pálinka, home distilleries are terrible, bad raw material, lack of knowledge to make good result. You don't lose anything with that. 5. As a foreigner you pronounce the name of the capital as you want. I probably make wrong pronounciation in abroad, and nobody's hurt. ----- What is this video made for?

      Yeah, I have been coming here since 1994 and heard it a zillion different ways. They reason I say it that way is because in 1994, when my Navy ship pulled in we had a local group come onboard and tell me that was the correct way to pronounce it. Stuck with me ever since and a tough habit to break after 30 years.
