For some a cruise is a trip of a lifetime. No matter your port
of call you are in for an amazing experience. This article is to
help you get more enjoyment from your cruise by making sure that
you have taken care of some do's and don'ts before your cruise
starts. Getting Started As with any trip you take you'll want to
make sure that your home is secured. Leave your lights on a
timer that will go on and off at a pre-determined time, or
better yet have someone visit your home to check things on a
daily basis and they can change the lights that are left on.
Make sure that if you don't have someone to collect your mail
and your newspapers on a daily basis that you contact your post
office and have it held. Mail and newspapers accumulating is a
sure sign that you're not home. Have the addresses of everyone
you'll need to send post cards to on pre printed labels. It
makes things much easier for you, you won't forget anybody, and
you won't have to worry about carrying your address book.
Financial Considerations Take traveler's checks. They are
replaceable if they are lost and are accepted almost anywhere.
Make sure that you write down all the serial numbers of your
checks, and keep them in a different place than the checks
themselves. Also, keep track of used checks. It helps to make
replacement easier if you have this information. Only take small
bills, usually one's and five's. You'll need these for tips for
porters and stewards at the airport and on the dock. Check your
invoice carefully the day before you leave. Have the cruise line
correct any errors. This will help you get through the check out
line sooner at the end of your cruise. Traveling with Children
Bring a stroller for your child, or check to see if the cruise
ship will supply one. The last thing you need on your cruise is
a tired child that you have to carry from deck to deck. Bring
snacks for kids such as cheese and crackers and granola bars.
These are fairly healthy snacks for children, and you'll have
them when you need them. Also, you won't have to pay the high
price asked for at port.
