Cruise Safety Tips

As you would be staying on the ship for several days when on a cruise, it is important to stay safe at all times. Here are some cruise safety tips you need to know.

• All cruises conduct muster drills before the cruise begins. It is not only important to attend but also to pay careful attention. During the muster drill, you would be given instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. Right from recognizing the different sounds or horns to wearing your vests properly, you would get to know everything here.
• It would be best to travel on a cruise with a group of people. If you are travelling on your own, try to make a friend right in the beginning, so that you can look out for each other.
• Most cruises have numerous bars, making alcohol easily available. However, it is important to not go overboard and drink responsibly. Just like in regular bars, do not accept drinks from strangers even on a cruise.
• If you are invited to the crew quarters by a crew member, do not accept. It is unsafe and also can lead to the dismissal of the crew member. You could be asked to leave the cruise too, at the next port.
• It is best not to carry large amounts of cash with you. Most cruise offers key rooms as credit cards which you can swipe if you want to purchase anything onboard. In case you are venturing out when the cruise docks at a port, make sure you carry the cash safely.
• Do not carry valuables like jewellery, electronic items, etc. during the cruise. If you do need to carry any, use the safe in your room to keep them protected.
• Always make sure that your door is properly shut before you leave the room. The same rule applies when you enter the room too.
• If your room has a balcony, make sure that it is locked when you are not in the room and also at night. Keep it shut when the ship is docked at a port.

Documents Required before Boarding a Cruise

As you would be travelling to a foreign country, you need to carry some important documents just like when travelling by flight.

• While travelling to Dubai by cruise, you need to have a valid passport. Your passport should have at least six months validity from the date of travel.
• You need to have Dubai or UAE visa as well as Oman visa if you are planning to explore Muscat. If you are not an Indian citizen and are travelling from Dubai to Mumbai, you would need to get an Indian visa.
• You may have to produce additional documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, vaccination certificates, etc. if the cruise demands it.
• The rules for documents to be produced are likely to change from time to time and depend on the discretion of the cruise liner.

What to Pack for a Cruise

If you are going on a cruise for the first time, you would be confused about the things you should take with you. Here are some important things that you should pack.

• Formal Clothes: Along with your casual, regular clothes, it would be best to carry formal attire (suits for men and gowns or cocktail dresses for women) for special events or dinner.
• Toiletries: You would find basic toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. in your room. However, it would not be something you use on a regular basis. So, it would be best to carry your own ones.
• Medicines: Apart from your regular prescription medicines (if any), carry some emergency medicines for fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc. to be on the safer side.
• Footwear: When it comes to footwear, carry both closed, formal ones and regular flip-flops too.
• Portable Charger: While you would have to charge facilities in your room, you would not want to be stuck in the room while your phone or other electronic devices keep charging. With a portable charger, you can charge your devices anywhere you go.
