7 Biggest Mistakes People Make On Cruises

Going on a cruise will be one of the most fun and memorable experiences

of your life. But without some important information, your fantastic trip

could become a total disaster.

Here are the 7 biggest mistakes people make on cruises and how to avoid

them.

1. Booking your cruise TOO late – Book at least 3 -

6 months in advance and pay in full to save up to 15% on your trip. Doing

so, you’ll also get the best choice of stateroom and the biggest discount

on your cruise. Remember, cruises are cheaper in the off-season.

2. Lacking the required passport and documentation – Before

you leave, make sure you have the correct documents to travel to all the

ports during your trip. Imagine having to stay on the ship while everyone

else is having fun on land.

3. Choosing a bad place for a stateroom - Some staterooms

will seem appealing in price, but don’t be fooled. The following should

always be avoided: rooms just below the disco, next to the elevator, below

a gym or restaurant or a lounge. (Unless of course, you like the excessive

noise

4. Not making your luggage stand out – The last thing

you want is someone else grabbing your luggage because they thought it

was their bag. It could be days before they locate your bag with thousands

of people on board a large cruiser. Tie some brightly colored string or

duct tape in a unique way onto your handle to make it look individual

and stand out.

5. Thinking you’ll save money in town - Most people

think that prices must be cheaper in port because they’re no longer

forced to the ship’s prices. Be careful. Many of these merchants

are ready for tourists and often sell inferior products at similar prices.

6. Not looking at the “all included” meals fine print

- While food is often included in the cruise price itself, most

of the time, alcohol is not. Just understand that you are probably paying

for it and drink according to your budget.

7. Not eating often enough – Did you know that eating

6 smaller meals on a cruise is better than 3 larger meals? And considering

the average person gains 10 pounds on a 7-day cruise, it’s worth

gaining some insights into maintaining your weight. Nothing’s worse

than coming home from a cruise only to realize you need to lose 20 pounds.

So there you have it – 7 great ways to get the most out of your

cruise.
