How To
How to stay safe while on a cruise ship
On a cruise ship, there are many things you should know before embarking on your journey. So that you don't get in trouble, it is important to know how to behave aboard. Here are some safety tips you can use to make sure you have a great trip.
-
Be mindful of where you are at all times. People often gather onboard cruise ships to share meals. You can easily become distracted by the chatter and food of others. Don't let this distract you from what you're supposed to do. If you notice someone engaging in dangerous behavior, such as smoking, or drinking alcohol, politely tell them 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. They'll be able to find you quickly if you need it. You should also have your passport on you.
-
Keep valuables out-of-reach Most cabins include drawers under the beds. It is a good place to store valuables like money, credit cards, passports, etc. Keep your valuables out of sight. Put your bags away in the closet so no one can see them.
-
Stay hydrated. While cruise ships have plenty of water, sometimes it can be difficult for passengers to remember to drink enough. Get bottled water for free on the ship. Do not become dehydrated. Dehydration makes you tired and cranky, leading to fights or accidents.
-
Listen to announcements carefully. Announcements are posted everywhere, including on TV screens and public address systems. They contain safety procedures, emergency exits, weather reports, and more. These announcements are important. They may save your life.
-
You should lock your door before you leave your cabin. No matter how friendly or helpful a crewmember may appear, lock your cabin. Unlocked doors are often used by thieves to gain entry. Ask a crew member first if you need to use the bathroom.
-
Avoid going too far. It may take time for the crew of the ship to rescue you if you fall overboard. Your body may be attracted by sharks and other sea creatures. Waiting until help arrives is the best option.
-
You should not smoke in an elevator. These elevators are pressured, which means smoke can quickly build up. You should immediately get off if you feel dizzy, lightheaded or confused. Even though the air outside is fresh, it doesn't mean breathing is safe.
-
Know the evacuation procedure. Every year, many people die in elevators. Follow the instructions on screen if you are in an emergency.
-
Learn the basics of the fire drill. Fire drills occur regularly, typically once per day. During a drill, everyone on deck has to evacuate. Follow the instructions of the crew members. Once the drill has been completed, return back to your cabin.
-
Before accepting food or drinks, ask questions. Cruisers often experience food poisoning. It is common for people to not realize that certain foods can't be eaten onboard ships. Raw oysters, for example, are not allowed on most cruise ships. If you're not sure whether the food being served is safe, you can politely decline it and opt for another meal.
-
When using the pool, be careful. Many passengers have accidentally fallen into the pool. This is a common occurrence. It's also possible to slip and fall on deck at any time. You should always wear good footwear and be aware of your surroundings.
