Cruise Travel Tips #15

Most lines send an onboard credit card application form with the tickets. To save time, complete the form beforehand and bring it with you when you check-in.

Cruise Travel Tips #14

Check-in and security procedures can be involved. Be sure to arrive at the embarkation area at least two hours prior to sailing. If you board early, there are plenty of activities that begin before the ship leaves port. We’ve checked-in early enough to enjoy lunch though we didn’t sail till late afternoon. Mike

Cruise Travel Tips #13

Leave the ship’s contact information with a friend or family member back home. This information can usually be found in your cruise documents, on the cruise line’s web site, or by contacting them directly by phone.

Cruise Travel Tips #12

If you plan to bring a hair dryer or an electric razor, inquire with your cruise line as to what the cabin voltage will be. You may need an adapter.

Cruise Travel Tips #11

Remember, if you book “cruise only”, you are responsible for arriving at the port in time for check-in, security and departure.

Cruise Travel Tips #10

Double-check your flight information and airline documents for accuracy. Remember to confirm your flight and check-in online 24 hours prior to your flight. Makes life easier- Mike

Cruise Travel Tips #9

When you receive your cruise documents in the mail, take the time to go over them in detail and verify that all the information is correct.

Cruise Travel Tip #8

If you have any ongoing medical conditions, ask your doctor to write up a brief medical history for you to travel with. I experienced this on a trip to Peru (not a cruise per se but we did ride in a boat up the Amazon River tributaries). The medical staff on the boat were prepared to deal with a medical condition I had because they were informed beforehand. Mike

Cruise Travel Tips #7

If you are taking a flight to the cruise port, always call to confirm your flight 24 hours prior to departure. This is a good practice with all flights.
