How To
How to stay safe when on a Cruise Ship
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 make your trip more enjoyable.
-
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. Because you are surrounded with people who want to talk and eat, it is easy to get distracted from your tasks. This shouldn't distract you from the work you are supposed to do. You should tell someone to stop doing something that is dangerous like smoking or drinking alcohol.
-
Always keep your room key close to you when you board the ship, and hand over your room key to the person checking you in. You will be able to tell them where you are if they need you. Also, make sure to have your passport.
-
Your valuables should be kept out of reach. Most cabins include drawers under the beds. You can store important documents such as passports and credit cards. Also, make sure nothing valuable is visible in plain view. Your bags should be kept in the closet, so that no one can see them.
-
Keep hydrated. Cruise ships provide plenty of water, but sometimes it's hard to remember to drink enough. You can take advantage of the complimentary bottled water onboard. Keep yourself hydrated. Dehydration makes you tired and cranky, leading to fights or accidents.
-
Be attentive to all announcements. Announcements are posted everywhere, including on TV screens and public address systems. They include safety procedures, emergency exits, and even weather reports. These announcements need to be taken seriously. These announcements could save your life.
-
You should lock your door before you leave your cabin. No matter how kind a crew member might seem, your cabin should be locked. Unlocked doors are often used by thieves to gain entry. A crew member can grant permission to use the restroom.
-
Avoid going too far. It can take some time for the ship's crew and you to be rescued from the water. In the meantime, sharks and other sea creatures may be attracted to your body. The best thing to do is wait until help arrives.
-
Smoking is not permitted in elevators. These elevators have high pressure, so smoke can build-up quickly. If you feel dizzy and lightheaded, it is best to get out immediately. The fresh air outside doesn't necessarily mean you can breathe easily.
-
Know the evacuation procedure. Each year, thousands of people die after being trapped in elevators. Follow the screen instructions in case of an emergency.
-
Make sure you are familiar with the fire drill. Fire drills take place regularly, almost every day. Everyone on deck must evacuate during a drill. Follow the instructions given by crew members. After the drill is completed, return to your cabin and lock it.
-
Before accepting food or drinks, ask questions. Cruisers can get food poisoning. It is common for people to not realize that certain foods can't be eaten onboard ships. 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. There have been many cases of passengers falling into the pools accidentally. It is possible to slip and fall into the pool without being noticed. It is also possible to slip on the ground. So always wear proper footwear and pay attention to your surroundings.
