What are the precautions for traveling abroad by cruise?

Abstract: With the improvement of living standards, tourism has gradually become a part of people's lives. There are also various modes of travel such as trains, cars, self-driving, airplanes and cruise ships. Sailing at sea does bring people a different visual feast, and the beautiful scenery makes people feel relaxed and amazed. Cruise tourism is naturally popular, but there are also many safety precautions. What are the precautions for cruise travel? This article introduces the cruise tourism strategy. I. Cruise Travel Guide

1. What should I take to cruise?

I suggest you try not to bring too many things! It is recommended that everyone take a piece of luggage, and remind everyone that it is absolutely forbidden to carry any dangerous goods and any sharp objects that can be used as weapons.

In terms of clothes, you can bring simple clothes such as formal clothes, casual clothes and swimsuits (even if you don't swim in the water in winter, you can soak in hot springs ~). Shoes, in addition to the leather shoes for the captain's dinner, it is recommended to bring a pair of sports shoes, which is more convenient to walk on the deck and exercise in the seascape gym!

Important items are recommended to be carried with you. Don't put them in check boxes, especially medicines. It's better to take electronic charging products with you, which is more convenient to use ~

2. How to check in easily?

Go through the boarding formalities and send the luggage directly to the cabin (all luggage will be labeled with the passenger's name, cruise ship name, cabin number, date and boarding place). Report to the boarding counter that their air tickets and foreign travel documents have been registered; Once their documents are registered, passengers will get a room card. The room card will be used for on-board payment for sightseeing, bar, laundry service, cabin service, haircut service, spa beauty center treatment, duty-free shops and photo studios. Passengers who get a room card must register a credit card (VISA, MasterCard or American Express) or pay a deposit.

The daily notice tells you how to play on the boat!

Unless your purpose is simply to blow the sea breeze and bask in the sun, you should pay attention to the schedule announcement on board, which will make your trip more fulfilling.

Daily notice: actually, it is a brochure or leaflet that the waiter puts in your room every day. Every ship has a different name. For example, Costa Cruises is called "Today".

These notices are listed in detail. There are many activities waiting for you almost all the time. Whether it's a concert or a magic show, or where the famous stars invited by the cruise ship are, you can find out and easily arrange your entertainment activities on board.

4. Won't you get seasick? Many people care about this!

You misunderstood the cruise ship. Generally, a 10,000-ton cruise ship is like a sea city. How can it get seasick when it walks safely on it? At least 98% of the guests have no seasickness reaction after returning! However, Bian Xiao can't guarantee the tickets. Maybe some friends have different constitutions and feel uncomfortable at sea! So I suggest that you can prepare some seasickness medicine in advance in case of emergency ~

5. How to spend? Do I need to change foreign currency on the plane?

There are duty-free shopping shops on the cruise ship. For example, the cruise ship of the Royal Caribbean actually has an ultra-luxury shopping street-Royal Avenue, which is for shopping for sister paper. It has more discounts than domestic ones, and the limit that cannot be bought in China is also more. How can this make the sister papers hold back?

6. Then the problem comes. Do I need to exchange foreign currency for shopping? Of course not!

After boarding the ship, you can associate your credit card with your room card. (Please ask the ship's staff about the specific operation) You can make any consumption on the ship just by showing your room card. If you confirm the consumption, the credit card will automatically deduct the money, and you don't need to carry cash at all. On the eve of your disembarkation, your consumption bill will be listed in detail, and you can return your credit card when you return home!

Second, matters needing attention in cruise tourism

1. Choose the cruise according to the price.

Of course, when you browse the websites of cruise companies, you will feel that all cruise ships are the same. But in fact, they are not the same. Just like hotels, cruise companies have their own advantages and disadvantages, so you should choose the one that suits you best. For example, Disney cruise and celebrity cruise have similar fares, but Disney cruise is especially suitable for busy families with children, while celebrity cruise is more suitable for empty nesters or retired couples who yearn for peace. The price is quite the same, but the feeling is different, so you must make an effort to make a decision before booking.

2. Consider the location of the cruise ship cabin.

The latest super-large cruise ship has more than 30 kinds of cabins, so it is difficult to decide which one to choose. Once you choose the one that suits you best, it is very important to consider the position of the single cabin. Consider where you will rest on the boat, and be sure to avoid under the swimming area, nightclub or any driving area.

3. fly to the port where you sail on the same day.

Unlike land holidays, sailing holidays have a fixed departure time, and cruise ships will not wait for people who are late. So, try to arrive in time before the cruise ship leaves.

4. Forget to plan ahead

Sailing is like life, some things need to be planned in advance. Although for many people, the lure of sailing can make it easier to plan a trip, once you buy it, you can enjoy a lot of time at sea: enjoy spa, go sightseeing on shore, enjoy delicious food in exquisite restaurants and fill your stomach quickly. However, check whether the website of the company you choose has everything you want, and see how long you can book the cruise in advance to seize the opportunity to get what you want.

5. Don't register online in advance.

Many companies require customers to register their cruise ships on their websites in advance. When you try to prepare for your holiday, it may seem annoying and unnecessary, but in fact, it can save you a lot of extra time when you finally board the cruise ship.

6. Take too much luggage when traveling

The cabin of the cruise ship is relatively small, so confirm the dress code of the cruise ship in advance, bring the necessities, and take out the unnecessary ones, such as extra shoes and spare clothes. Besides, if your luggage is light enough, you can hold it in your hand, so that you can avoid losing it.

I didn't put my valuables in my handbag.

If you put your luggage on the deck of a cruise ship and send it to your cabin (as many cruise ships do), you must make sure that there are things you often need in your carry-on bag. Different boats let tourists stay for different times. If you plan to spend your first day in the swimming pool or gym, you must make sure that you take the necessities with you, otherwise you may look out of place on the deck of the swimming pool.

8. Due to the network limitation, I failed to plan ahead.

Wi-Fi in most cruise ships is very expensive, and the signal is intermittent, so it won't take long. Make sure all your necessities are ready before you leave, and then open your work email and send messages on the home page to get to know the hot topics around you during the precious holiday time.

9. Take the best lounge chair

Most cruise ships don't have enough lounges for tourists. What's the fastest way to make enemies on a ship? Just put things on the chair and disappear for a few hours, eat breakfast, do exercise, do spa and have lunch in the morning. When you come back in the afternoon, if the staff doesn't take your things away, the complaining expression on the passenger's face will also embarrass you.

10, take yourself or your vacation too seriously.

Sailing is full of foolish traditions. Fancy night, all kinds of volcanic ice cream, stupid games or activities. For many tourists, these interesting moments are the most interesting part of their trip. Therefore, warning yourself and making fun of them loudly is actually putting yourself in an unbearable situation.
