Make your cruise experience worry-free and super enjoyable by keeping these safety tips in check.
- Control your alcohol
There’s something about drinking too much that messes with vacation, whether that’s losing valuables, tripping over, or getting you into trouble. Drinking too much can make you do things you wouldn’t normally do. So, be mindful of your drinking.
- Find a cruise buddy
If you are cruising solo, it’s good to meet fellow solo travelers and have them look out for you and you for them. Make friends on board and engage with the crew to keep updated with all the happenings on the ship.
- Pack the right footwear
Journeying through several countries, you’ll experience changing weather. It helps to wear the right shoes as you walk through slippery decks and flights of stairs.
- Ask for a pre-check up
One of the terrible places to get sick is on the middle of the ocean. Before you sail, it’s always a good idea to get your self-check even though you don’t have any health concerns. If you are travelling to a new continent, remember to ask your physician if you need any particular vaccine.
- User your cabin safe
To secure your belongings, take advantage of the in-cabin safe that comes with your accommodation. Cruise ships are cashless environments so you can keep your cash allowance in your safe whenever onboard.
- Respect the rules
People have been removed from ships due to smoking inside cabins. It’s always good to remember that cabin rules were created to keep everyone aboard safe.
- Be safe when you’re in the balcony
Private balconies are a good addition to luxury cabins. However, be careful not to sit on the railing whether the ship is moving or not to prevent injuries.
- Always listen to the muster drill
Muster drills are there for your safety in case of emergencies. So, put down your cocktail and be bothered for several minutes. It’s for your own sake.
