Cruise Travel Tips!

  • Plan and Book Early: Secure your stateroom and shore excursions early to get the best options and prices. Popular cruises and activities can fill up quickly.

  • Pack Smart: Bring a variety of clothing to suit different occasions, including formal wear for elegant dinners and casual attire for daytime activities. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes.

  • Understand the Ship Layout: Familiarize yourself with the ship's layout before you embark. Knowing where key areas like dining rooms, pools, and your stateroom are located can help you navigate more easily.

  • Check Travel Documents: Ensure you have all necessary travel documents, including your passport, visa (if required), and cruise documents. Keep copies in a separate location in case of loss or theft.

  • Pack a Carry-On Bag: Pack a small bag with essentials like medications, valuables, and a change of clothes. This way, you have what you need if your luggage takes longer to arrive at your stateroom.

  • Stay Hydrated and Eat Wisely: Drink plenty of water and balance indulgent meals with healthy options. Cruise ships often offer a variety of dining choices, so take advantage of them to maintain a balanced diet.

  • Take Advantage of Onboard Activities: Cruise ships offer a wide range of activities and entertainment. Review the daily schedule and participate in events that interest you, from shows and fitness classes to cooking demonstrations.

  • Be Mindful of Time Zones: Pay attention to the ship's time and local time at each port to avoid missing excursions or onboard activities. Adjust your watch accordingly.

  • Use a Credit Card with No Foreign Transaction Fees: This can save you money on purchases while you’re in port. Let your bank know you’ll be traveling to avoid any issues with your credit card.

  • Respect Ship Etiquette and Crew: Follow the ship’s guidelines and show appreciation to the crew. A positive attitude and polite behavior contribute to a pleasant experience for everyone on board.
