Vacation Cruise Safety Tips

When you travel, you have to be aware and concerned about your stuff being stolen such as your wallet, driver's license, passport, and other valuables you have with you on a cruise. Helping you reduce the risk of being robbed while you are trying to enjoy yourself is being vigilant and trying not to bring too much with you during your vacation. Cabins aboard many cruise ships are not too secure. They have locks and keys but unlike in hotels, they are not changed as often so people could get back into the room if they wanted even if they have already stayed in them before. The best way to discourage thieves from stealing from you when you're traveling on a ship is not carrying too much with you.

In a safe that is located in the cabin, you can store the items that you have and consider as valuable or you can ask the staff to store them in the ship's safe. This can include jewelry, passports and other identification information, larger amounts of money, and anything else you think a thief might be interested in. Storing these items in a safe will give you peace of mind when leaving the ship or when participating in activities during the day or at nighttime.

If you plan on carrying your wallet or purse with you, make sure you don't carry too much money on you. Please don't take out a lot of money and advertise the fact that you have it with you if you are paying with cash for drinks or buying gifts for you family and friends. Thieves are always watching people and the way they carry their money. You can use traveler's checks if possible or you can only bring the amount of money that you will need and nothing extra.

Cruise ships for the most part are fun places for you to have your vacation with your family or alone depending on what you are looking for. A large part of a cruise is making new friends. While you should be sociable, you should also be cautious and not tell people too much about your finances, how much money you have aboard, and where you may be keeping money and valuables. Asking the right questions is what many thieves are very careful about in order to avoid suspicion so be cautious about what you say and what others may overhear.

If you are the victim of theft, it may be very difficult to prove and get any of your property back. Because the legal system is confusing, you may need to file claims with your insurance company, the cruise line, the government that is in charge of the port city you are staying or the part of the ocean you are sailing on, and others. It's possible for this process to take months before you will see any response at all. This is the reason why it's important to practice cruise safety.
