Cruise Savvy Tips

★ Packing: Clothing 

1. If you plan on working out, don't forget gym clothes and shoes.
2. Life aboard a cruise ship is laid-back and casual. Dress for comfort.
3. Footwear should include walking/running shoes and sandals.
4. When cruising outside warm weather destinations, never underestimate the importance of a sweater/sweatshirt, a raincoat and a hat.
5. During "casual" dining, t-shirts, jeans and shorts are not allowed in the dining rooms.
6. During "informal" dining, women typically wear dresses or pantsuits, while men usually wear lightweight jackets.
7. During "formal" dining, women should be prepared to wear cocktail dresses or gowns, while men should consider wearing business suits or tuxedos (though not required).
8. If you're traveling to warm weather destinations, do not forget sunscreen and sunglasses.
9. Most ships have self service laundry facilities.  Consider bringing a small amount of detergent.
10. Most ships have powerful air conditioning. A sweater/sweatshirt may come in handy.

★ Packing: Luggage 

1. Do not pack your passport, visas, driver's license, medications, cruise documents or airline tickets in luggage. Keep them in a purse, jacket or backpack.
2. Pack enough prescription medication for the entire voyage.
3. Pack a written list of your medications, including the name of the drug, dosage and times taken, in case they are lost.
4. Please pack these items in your carry-on: cash, credit/debit cards, jewelry, business documents, travel and health insurance information, laptops, cell phones, cameras, binoculars.
5. Bring credit cards and travelers checks instead of large amounts of cash.
6. Pack a water bottle so you can bring water from the ship onshore. Or just purchase one at the ports of call.
7. Put a card with your name and address inside your luggage, as well as on the outside.
8. Put the cruise line luggage tags on before your depart home.

★  Pre-departure ★

1. Check what sort of identification you need when traveling to your destinations.
2. Notify the cruise ship of any special dietary restrictions or requests at least 60 days prior to departure.
3. Leave copies of your passport, airline tickets, travelers checks and credit cards with a family member or a friend.
4. Discuss your travel plans with a doctor; some countries may require certain immunizations.
5. If you tend to get motion sickness, see your doctor prior to departure for recommendations.
6. Call the airline you are flying with and confirm your reservation 24 hours prior to departure.
7. If you have an ongoing medical condition, ask your family doctor to write up your brief medical history, which you can take with you and provide in the event of a problem.
8. Check your travel documents, cruise tickets, airline tickets and verify the information.
9. If you book cruise only, you are responsible for getting to the ship from the airport.
10. If you plan to bring a hair dryer or an electric razor, check the cabin voltage. You may need an adaptor.
11. Give relatives and friends the ship's telephone number, in case of an emergency.
12. If you booked an air/sea package through a cruise line and you missed the ship because of late/cancelled flight, the cruise line will get you to the next port.

14. Complete the immigration/embarkation and the onboard credit card application forms online or faxed back the form at least two weeks before departure.
15. Ask for a receipt when you hand over your passport.
