]]>Before embarking on your cruise, research ports of call. This will give you an opportunity to see which ones are worthy of your time and prevent you from spending money on underwhelming experiences.
If there is a port of call that is on your “must-see” list, make sure to book it early. Oftentimes, popular cruise excursions fill up before the cruise even begins, putting you at risk of missing out. Luckily, all cruise companies allow you to book cruise excursions online, so take advantage of that.
Most cruise lines will have a note about the activity level required for each cruise excursion. Make sure that you are comfortable and able to handle the given activity level. Otherwise, you might have a bad experience that will sour your entire trip.
You don’t have to book a cruise excursion for every port of call you want to check out. Plenty of them have attractions in walking distance, so simply get off ship and start exploring.

]]>We’ll start off with the most basic tip: focusing on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, and place your hand on your belly as your doing it. This will help you get in touch with your body, which will help you get through it easier.
Another practical tip you can try is to place yourself in the middle of the boat. This is the spot that’s least prone to constant jerking and movement, so it’ll be easier for you to potentially limit your feelings of nausea.
One crucial thing that can distract you from your feelings of nausea is finding something interesting to focus on. However, looking at screens will only make things worse, which is why it’s better to close your eyes and listen to music. This may not work for everyone, but it can be helpful to some, which is why it’s certainly worth a shot.

]]>When on a boat or cruise, the location of your seat can make a big difference. Opt for a cabin or stateroom in the middle of the ship and on a lower deck. These areas experience less movement and are more stable, reducing the risk of seasickness. Additionally, try to focus on the horizon or an unmoving point on land to help your body orient itself and counteract the feeling of motion.
Dehydration can worsen nausea, so it’s essential to drink plenty of water while on board. Avoid heavy, greasy, or spicy foods that may trigger queasiness. Instead, choose light, bland snacks like crackers, ginger candies, or bananas, which are known to have anti-nausea properties.
When you start to feel queasy, step outside for some fresh air. The open air and natural breeze can do wonders for settling your stomach. Engage in activities or distractions that take your mind off the motion.

]]>It isn’t rare that cruising doesn’t turn out to be a great experience for some passengers. Sometimes it’s due to things that are out of their hands, and sometimes because of making mistakes that could have been easily avoided. So, if you want to make sure you avoid the latter running your cruise trip, continue reading to learn the most common cruising mistakes and how to avoid them.
It all starts with this. If you choose the wrong cruise line, your cruise is immediately destined for failure. So make sure you put a good amount of work into research and make sure that the cruise line you picked is reputable, has good reviews from passengers, and holds its end of the deal.
Don’t just settle for familiar things when on a cruise ship. Make sure that you explore everything that the cruise ship has to offer, whether it’s food or activities.
Even if you sailed before and didn’t get seasick, don’t assume that won’t happen on your next cruise. Consult with your doctor and get some motion-sickness medicine that will ensure you don’t spend the entire trip in your cabin.
While the price of your ticket covers many things, there are still certain activities that will need out-of-pocket money. Plan for this before setting off on a cruise, or you might be in for a big surprise.

]]>If you’re looking forward to dining at a particular restaurant, enjoying a relaxing spa, or taking a shore excursion, make sure you book these things in advance. Reservations onboard book quickly, especially during peak season. Also, this will allow you to budget better and avoid making rash purchases.
Most cruises cover the cabin, meals, onboard activities, and entertainment, but you should budget for drinks, internet, shore excursions, gratuities, and taxes and port charges.
Avoid stressing about delayed flights and heavy traffic by planning to arrive at your departure city a day or more before the cruise. If you’re late, the ship won’t wait for you.
You’ll most likely board the ship before your luggage gets to your cabin, so pack any necessities like medicine, important documents, and phone chargers in a carry-on bag. Pack some sunscreen and a bathing suit so you can jump straight into the pool.
Be aware that some ports are in different time zones than the ship’s clock, so make sure you’re following the correct one. Passengers are usually required to be back on board 30 minutes before the ship departs and if you’re late, the ship won’t wait.
