How To
How to be safe on a cruise ship
Before you embark on your cruise, there are many things that you need to know. So that you don't get in trouble, it is important to know how to behave aboard. Here are some safety tips that will help you enjoy your trip.
-
At all times, be aware of your surroundings. On cruise ships, people often congregate, especially at mealtimes. It is easy to lose sight of your task when you are surrounded by people who want food and chat. You shouldn't allow this to distract you away from the important things you need to do. You should tell someone to stop doing something that is dangerous like smoking or drinking alcohol.
-
When you board the ship, keep your room key close by and give it to the person checking in. They'll be able to find you quickly if you need it. You should also have your passport on you.
-
Keep valuables hidden from view. 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. Place your bags in the closet.
-
Keep hydrated. While cruise ships have plenty of water, sometimes it can be difficult for passengers to remember to drink enough. You can take advantage of the complimentary bottled water onboard. Try to avoid getting dehydrated. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, crankiness, and even fights.
-
Be attentive to all announcements. Announcements appear everywhere, including on TV screens or 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!
-
You should lock your door before you leave your cabin. No matter how friendly a crew member may seem, never leave your cabin without locking it. Thieves can often get in through unlocked doors. If you need to use the restroom, ask a crew member for permission first.
-
Avoid falling overboard alone. 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. The best thing to do is wait until help arrives.
-
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. You can still breathe even though it is outside fresh.
-
Know how to evacuate. Every year, many people die in elevators. If an emergency occurs, follow the instructions on the screen.
-
You should be familiar with fire drills. Fire drills happen regularly, usually once per day. Everyone on deck must evacuate when there is a drill. Follow the instructions of the crew members. After the drill is completed, return to your cabin and lock it.
-
Ask questions before accepting food and drink. Cruisers frequently experience food poisoning. Many people don't realize that certain foods aren't safe to eat while onboard a ship. Most cruise ships prohibit raw oysters. If you're not sure whether the food being served is safe, you can politely decline it and opt for another meal.
-
You should be cautious when swimming in the pool. Many passengers have accidentally fallen into the pool. This is a common occurrence. You may also slip and fall on the deck. You should always wear good footwear and be aware of your surroundings.
