How To
How to keep safe while on a cruiseship
You need to know a lot before you set sail on your cruise. You must understand how to behave when onboard so you don't get into trouble. These safety tips will ensure that you have a safe trip.
-
Be mindful of where you are at all times. People are more likely to be together when they're eating on a cruise ship than anywhere else. You're often surrounded by people who are eager to talk and eat. It can be easy to get distracted. You shouldn't allow this to distract you away from the important things you need to do. If you see someone doing something dangerous, like smoking or drinking alcohol, tell them politely to stop.
-
Keep your room keys close to your body when you board a ship. When you get onboard, hand your key over to the person checking you in. You'll be easily found if something happens. Also, make sure to have your passport.
-
Keep valuables out-of-reach Most cabins include drawers under the beds. That's a great place to store valuables such as passports, credit cards, and money. Also, make sure nothing valuable is visible in plain view. Keep your bags hidden in the closet.
-
Keep hydrated. Although cruise ships offer plenty of water, it can be difficult to remember to drink enough. Take advantage of the free bottled water available throughout the ship. Avoid becoming dehydrated. Dehydration makes you tired and cranky, leading to fights or accidents.
-
Always pay attention to announcements. Announcements can be found everywhere including on television screens and on public address systems. These announcements include safety procedures, emergency exits and weather reports. These announcements will be of great importance. They might save your life!
-
Lock your cabin door before you leave it. Never leave your cabin unlocked, no matter how friendly a crew member seems. Many thieves break into cabins by stealing the doors. If you need to use the restroom, ask a crew member for permission first.
-
Do not go overboard by yourself. It can take some time for the ship's crew and you to be rescued from the water. You may attract sharks or other sea creatures to your body while you are still on the ship's crew. Waiting until help arrives is the best option.
-
Do not smoke in an elevator. These elevators can quickly become smokey due to their high pressure. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, get off immediately. The fresh air outside doesn't necessarily mean you can breathe easily.
-
Know the evacuation procedure. Every year, thousands die from being trapped in an elevator. In an emergency, you should follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
-
Get familiar with the fire drill. Fire drills are usually conducted once per day. Everyone on deck needs to evacuate during a drill. Follow the crew members' instructions. Once the drill is complete, go back to your cabin and lock the door.
-
Before accepting food or drinks, ask questions. Cruisers frequently experience food poisoning. People don't know that certain foods are not safe to be eaten while aboard a ship. Most cruise ships prohibit raw oysters. If you aren't sure if the food being offered to you is safe, politely decline and choose another meal.
-
Take care when you use the pool. Inadvertently falling into pools has been a frequent occurrence. It is possible to slip and fall into the pool without being noticed. You can also slip and fall off the deck at any moment. Make sure you have the right footwear and pay attention around you.
