travelling on a cruise
Going on cruise trips can undoubtedly be one of the most 
exciting holiday plans. It is a simple way to explore different 
beautiful locations. Plus, with the amenities many cruise ships 
offer, you can also get a chance to experience entertainment, 
shopping, dining and relaxation all under one roof. However, if 
you are travelling on a cruise for the first time, there are a few 
things you must keep in mind that will ensure an amazing 
experience. This article explains a few dos and don'ts that you 
must remember while travelling on a cruise. 

DOs
Do pay attention during the safety drills
 
Safety drills carried out by cruise liners prove to be 
extremely helpful in the event of an emergency. 
Hence, it is important to be attentive and listen 
respectfully during the safety drill sessions.
Do follow the dress code
Cruise liners provide a plethora of activities for an individual to 
participate in. However, most activities and locations of the 
cruise ship have a specific dress code that passengers should 
follow. For instance, if you are planning to spend the evening at 
the casino, then make sure that you abide by the dress code that 
they require. Mostly, cruise ships with casinos require 
passengers to wear formal attire. 

Do plan some activities and book them in advance
Your entire cruise journey need not be rigidly planned, but if you are 
looking forward to participating in certain activities, then it is wise to 
book them well in advance. Your cruise line will have an entire 
brochure that talks about the onboard activities, amenities, and shore 
excursions that one can enjoy. Additionally, many cruise ships also 
have gourmet restaurants that require you to make early reservations. 
So ensure to plan and book the activities that you desire to experience 
ahead of time.
Do pack your essentials
Although some of the best cruise liners have the availability of 
essentials onboard, it is advisable to pack your essentials to be 
on the safe side. Hence, make sure to pack all your necessities 
such as important documents, medication, electronic device 
chargers, mosquito repellent, and so on. 
DONT’s
Don’t overpack
It is best to travel light while going on cruise trips as it is 
convenient and easy to store. Plus, many cruise lines have few 
essentials like toiletries and other things available for you in 
your cabin. This information will be available to you on the 
cruise line’s website. This, in turn, will help you reduce your 
luggage. Pack only the essentials that you may require on your 
trip. 

Don’t make noise in the corridors
People on the cruise ship generally have different schedules. 
There may be some passengers resting, or just trying to relax in 
their cabins. Thus, when you are in the hallways, make sure to 
talk softly and avoid slamming your cabin doors as sound 
carries on cruise ships. 
Don’t ignore the rules
Following the rules on the cruise ship is very important. If you 
abide by these rules, it will ensure everyone’s safety and health. 
For instance, do not smoke in a ‘NO SMOKING’ zone. Instead, 
use the designated smoking area to light a cigarette.  
Don’t miss the sunscreen
Sunscreen is a very important thing that you must carry while travelling 
on a cruise. The sun may affect your skin immensely if you are chilling 
on the deck or the outdoors. This could lead to painful sunburn that 
could ruin your trip. Hence, you should apply sunscreen before you 
leave your cabin.

these dos and don’ts that will help you have a safe and enjoyable 
journey.
