Heading out for your first adventure on a cruise ship?
These are cruise ship tips and tricks every veteran cruiser should know.
We’ve been on a few cruise ships & you definitely want to be prepared AHEAD of time.
Once you arrive on that cruise ship, you are THEIRS, so if you forgot to buy it or bring it or arrange it ahead of time, it might be too late.
Some of my favorites cruise ship tips from the list are:
- Extend the charge of your camera batteries by keeping them in the fridge overnight
- Don’t book your cabin directly below the cruise ship’s Lido Deck
- Get passports renewed for everyone a few months in advance of your cruise
- Ask a crew member for a place to connect to free WIFI while in port
- Bringing your own pack sunscreen, aloe and Band Aids is easier & cheaper than buying them during your cruise
From tips to get free wifi to what to pack for your cruise to what NOT to do on a cruise ship, these cruise ship tips may surprise you!
