Safety is the most important part of any fun voyage. If the trip isn't safe, it will not be fun. Remember that. It is up to you to guard your safety. Almost every passenger case presented on this site (http://www.cruisebruise.com/) would not be here, had the passenger, not broken one of the common sense rules below. Please do not make the mistakes some of them did. We have presented these cases to you, on this site, as a warning of what MIGHT happen, if you don't use common sense.
-
Never post in a cruise forum, your photo or the photo of family members, their ages, your location, the cruises you have taken, or the cruises you are booked into. You may want to brag, but you just told the whole world where you will be, when your home is going to be vacant and where you will be most vulnerable, to any and all persons who might want to stalk you, your spouse or your children, or worst, cause one of you harm. Please, use common sense when posting online.
-
Never take a cruise with people who bore you, thinking you can amuse yourself without them.
-
Never take a cruise to try to repair a marriage that is on the verge of total destruction
-
Never flaunt your finances. Do not discuss finances with anyone.
-
Never view personal papers or computer data on laptops where others can see.
-
Never wander around the ship alone. Stay with someone from your party at ALL times.
-
Never go ashore alone. Stay with somebody from your party.
-
When traveling ashore, do so in congested, well lit tourist areas.
-
Never walk on the beach late at night.
-
Never socialize with the locals or go anywhere with them for any reason.
-
Never flash money, open a handbag or wallet, when others can see the contents.
-
Never wear expensive jewelry. Keep it back at home, in a saftey deposit box, or other safe.
-
Never socialize with the hired help. Do not share personal information with them.
-
Never go anywhere with the hired help, onboard, or on shore, for any reason, alone.
-
Never use the public restrooms. Use the restroom in your cabin. This is for health reasons as well as personal security reasons. It is easier to catch the Norovirus there.
-
Never drink to excess in public areas of the ship. Limit drinks in the lounges and casino to 2 or 3.
-
Never accept a drink from people you do not know.
-
When you can, get your drink directly from the bartender.
-
Watch your drinks carefully. Do not leave it unattended, or for others to watch.
-
If you get up to dance, do so with an empty drink, and when you come back get a fresh drink.
-
Never play high stakes games in the casino. Big winners are targets. Big losers get depressed.
-
Never let children of any age, especially teens, out of your sight, not even for a moment.
-
Never use the cruise line babysitters. If you don't want to be with your children ALL the time, do not take them, or bring your own hired babysitter.
-
Do place hidden video cameras in your cabin, when children are with your babysitter.
-
Be careful on decks when underway, especially the higher decks. Wind gusts can reach hurricane force and blow you over deck, even holding onto somebody else.
-
Only wear shoes with adequate tread when on deck. Slick bottom dress shoes are for inside.
-
In rough seas, stay off deck at all times, stay away from windows, and large movable objects.
-
-
During an emergency, never rush to your muster station alone. Wait for your party. Go together.
-
Mind your own business. Don't be a busy body. You don't want to know some things about some people. What you know can kill you.
-
Never make eye contact with the locals when you are ashore.
-
Never carry a handbag ashore. If you have to, don't use one with a shoulder strap, hold it in your hand. Place money and credit cards in your front pant pockets, or within the inside pocket of a jacket. Keep this in mind when choosing the voyage ensembles.
-
When speaking with others in your cabin, remember the persons in the cabins on either side of your cabin can hear you, as can people walking by outside your cabin, or on nearby balconys. It is only private, when spoken softly, with all doors closed, and music or a televsion softly playing.
-
Think VERY carefully before filing a complaint about other passengers or crew. If it is not a life or death situation, let it go. You may open yourself or others in your party up to some serious retaliation.
-
Do not take anything with you, that would cause you undue stress if you lost it or it was stolen onboard.
-
Watch your luggage carefully. Do not leave it unattended.
-
Do not decorate the outside of your cabin door with anything you don't mind losing, even in late December. Decorations have been known to be stolen.
