Lindsey and I will be leaving on our first cruise this Saturday, departing from Miami on Sunday to tour the Caribbean. Any pointers for a cruising noob? Disembark? Don’t disembark? To the comments with you, kind reader!
NOTE: As a result of our travels, Smooth Harold will be on a publishing hold until Monday, February 18 at the earliest. Have a great week, everyone.
Smooth Harold is a collection of thoughts by Blake Snow -- a video game critic and recovering web consultant living in beautiful Orem, Utah. The site covers a variety of topics including culture, entertainment, business, technology, journalism, sports, parenthood, and politics — kind of like a blogging General Store. Blake is married to a loving wife named Lindsey and is the father of two girls: Sadie and Madison. He can be reached by email.
A list of the top 10 articles on Smooth Harold (coming when I feel like updating the site).
How may I help you? No really, is there something specific I can assist you in? Ask me anything self-employed related, video game related, web related, or family/life related, and I'll gratuitously answer you directly (usually same day) or put you in contact with someone who can. The Smooth Harold Helpdesk is at your service via email.
Over the years, I've benefited both personally and professionally from kind and intelligent individuals over lunch. Yes, good people still exist. So if you're ever in the greater Salt Lake area and want to grab a friendly bite, don't hesitate to ask. All are welcome.
Video games are a big part of my life and keep me young at heart. If you'd like to wallop me online, be my guest. For Wii and DS, please send your game specific friend codes. For PS3 and Xbox 360, send invites to SmoothHarold.

I’ve never been on a cruise either, but here are some things I think might help:
1. Don’t lean over the edge of the boat
2. Swimsuits are required in the pool
3. Unlimited food + lots of spare time = Blake & Lindsey might gain weight

have a miami vice for me… or a lava, depending on where you are.
pina colado + strawberry daquiri
give your self a few hours on the boat, and you’ll definitely want to disembark.

Have plenty of money to tip at the end. Trust me, it will be worth it!
When indecisive between the lobster or the fillet mignon, have both!
Make sure to get to the piano bar at least once. Though everyone else is usually drunk, it makes “Bennie and the Jets” that much more fun to sing!
