This is a once in a life time experience. Do it full out and have the best time you can. You´ll make up everything (time, money, etc.) later.

keep an open mind...try to organize your own side trips while visiting various places in port. Don't allow yourself to be lead by the school, rather explore each country a little on your own...you meet interesting people that way.
