Safety Tips

Even in the fairy-tale context of a cruise, common sense will not only be helpful, but also necessary. Whether you're taking a vacation or going on honeymoon, there are some things you shouldn't overlook if you want to keep yourself and your valuables safe.

Since you will usually be asked to sign a waiver when you embark on the cruise, agreeing not to hold the ship responsible for any losses you might incur on board, it becomes clear that it's your responsibility to take the necessary precautions. Another reason why you wouldn't want to risk having anything stolen is that the red tape involved in the investigation and pursuit of the thief.

Due to the fact that at least three different legal systems must be taken into account before any action is taken (the legislation of the country where the ship is registered, the legal framework of the passengers - country of origin, and the jurisdiction that owns the water where the ship is sailing), it'll be so complicated to solve anything that most people will give up the thought of even trying. Furthermore, you might not even have the slightest suspicion whose suitcase your stolen belongings are stuffed in. Therefore, it's better to be cautious.

It all starts with knowing what you're carrying with you. It's a good idea to have a list of all the things you're packed with you. Write down your credit card and bank account numbers, but don't bring that list with you - you have no use for it on the ship, and you'll be making a possible thief's job too easy by keeping them with you. Make sure you have the phone numbers of all your financial institutions with you, so that you can the loss of theft of a credit card before someone can actually use it.

The cruise ship has a safe where you can keep your valuables. It goes without saying that keeping them in your cabin is not very wise ?your room may be even less secure than that of a hotel, due to the fact that locks are changed less frequently. As for wallets, if you do carry any, then don't put them in your back pockets, where they'll be an easy target.

A money belt that you can wear under the clothes eliminates both the risk of having your money snatched and that of forgetting it somewhere on the ship. Try not to attract attention to how much cash you're carrying, and when you choose your suitcase, don't go for the most luxurious one ?it would be like a beacon for a potential thief.

These guidelines should not surprise or shock you. If you think about it, they are the sensible precautions anyone would take when going on vacation - whether on a cruise or to a hotel somewhere. They are easy to remember and follow, and they can help you avoid unpleasant surprises. Thinking about them before you leave will ensure a worry-free journey and an enjoyable vacation.
