If you are planning your very first cruise, you may be unsure what to expect. When you go on a cruise, keep these important cruise travel tips in mind.
First of all, make sure you have a good carry on bag. A change of clothes and any important meds or toiletries should be packed in both your checked and onboard luggage. There are two reasons why this is important. First, if your luggage gets lost by the airline on the way to your cruise, at least you'll have some essentials with you. It can take a while for your luggage to be found and then shipped to the next port of call. Second, in case your suitcases are delayed in being delivered to your cabin, you'll have a bathing suit or dinner attire on hand and can enjoy all the onboard activities right away, rather than waiting for your bags to show up.
Along with a detailed list of prescriptions and their generic names, bring sufficient medication for the cruise. Keep in mind that you may have little or no access to a pharmacy aboard the ship or in foreign ports. Bring an extra pair of eyeglasses in case of breakage or loss.
Learn about the local customs and laws of the countries you will be in. You will be subject to the judicial system of the host country if you break the law during a stopover. The laws of the country with jurisdiction over territorial waters prevail when you are at sea. Outside national boundaries, the international law of the sea applies to those waters.
Reserve any on shore excursions you will do during the cruise, as soon as possible after you embark on your trip. Desirable tours can fill up quickly, and later you may be so busy with new friends and on-board activities that you forget to make your land arrangements in time.
Keep all important documents with you. Never pack your necessary IDs and cruise documents in your checked luggage - and make sure you always have them. Even if your suitcase misses the boat, you can get onboard if you have your passport or other photo ID and cruise ship boarding pass on hand.
You need to be aware of your surroundings on a ship just as you would in a big city. Stay away from dark hallways; distance yourself if tempers flare; don't accept beverages from strange people. If your gut tells you something is wrong, it probably is. Tell someone else too; contact the Purser as soon as you think there may be a problem.
Finally, make your cruise travel memorable and all that you want it to be by doing a lot of planning before you travel.
