Even in the best cruise lines, there are always going to be people on board whose intentions are less than honorable. To help you keep from becoming a victim, and to help you stay safe on the cruise in general, follow these simple guidelines:
1. Attend lifeboat drills - One of the first things that will happen on the cruise ship is a lifeboat drill. Don’t be concerned; there will be enough for everyone on board. At the lifeboat drill, you will be told what to do in the unlikely event that you must evacuate the ship.
2. Be aware of those around you keep an eye on your drink, and don’t leave it unattended. It will only take a moment for someone to slip something into it. It’s also not a good idea to accept a drink from someone that you don’t know, no matter how nice they may seem.
3. Don’t have an open door policy don’t open the door of your cabin to anyone unless you can verify that they are who they say they are. Know your cabin’s steward, and if you feel uncomfortable opening the door go with your instinct. It’s better to be wrong and safe than to worry about insulting someone.
Remember, except for those in your party you are traveling with strangers, so be aware of your surroundings and take precautions. If you suspect something suspicious, it’s better to err on the side of caution. It’s better to be safe and embarrassed than to be foolish and injured or worse.
he last thing that you want to do is to get sick when you are on vacation, so here are some tips to make sure that you stay healthy when you are on your cruise.
1. Prepare - If you are going out of the country, make certain that you are vaccinated against any known illnesses that you might come into contact with at your destination. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
2. Medicine - If you are on any medications, be sure to bring them with you. Make sure that you bring the actual bottle
with you in case there is a question of the legality of your medicine, and that it is marked with your name and the dosage.
3. Rest - Something that people forget to do on a vacation, sadly enough, is rest. They get caught up in the
excitement of the trip and they want to experience everything they can so they get their money’s worth. If you feel run down, you are susceptible to becoming sick, so give you body time to recuperate.
4. Watch what you eat - Remember to maintain your recommended daily allowance of fruits and vegetables on the cruise, and don’t load up on rich, high calorie foods. There are a lot of tempting treats on cruises, but your body will rebel if it’s not used to that type of food.
5. Use common sense - Drink bottled water, and wash your hands often. Water will help you to stay healthy on your trip.
