When you pack your bags for a cruise, it may seem like a no-brainer but the truth is, travel preparation is involved. Even if your vacation won't be ruined if you forget an item or two, it will create unnecessary headaches and hassles. Below are some things you need to remember when you are packing for your trip.
Cruise ships are not required to have doctors or medical facilities. This would mean that usually, there is a first aid station and a physician or nurse onboard. As for the ship's gift shop, it is usually stocked with some basic over the counter medication but you'll pay for the convenience. You can also purchase things at your ports of call but dealing with this hassle can take away from enjoying your trip.
First off, make a list of the things that you usually forget. In order to make sure that you haven't forgotten anything, you need to consult your list after you are done packing.
Be prepared for the sun. The most deceiving in cool weather destinations or when it is overcast would be the sun. Returning from a nice bronze glow can be a deal but still, don't be over anxious. Bring sun block and sunscreen and apply it frequently. If you get a burn early on in your vacation, then you will limit your activities on your cruise ship tour and make for a less enjoyable holiday. You should also bring along a hat, sunglasses, as well as lip balm. Again, you can (and should) buy these onboard the ship but it will be an added hassle and expense. If you're especially sensitive to the sun then consider bringing loose fitting long sleeve shirts and long pants; linen clothing is perfect for the warm weather.
If you have a tendency to get sea sick, then come prepared even though sea sickness is not really a problem for many. Don't forget to bring sea sickness pills or other alternative treatments. Did you know that the center of the ship sways the least? Your first couple of hours (if not day) will be adjusting to the movement of the ship so don't plan any big activities.
Filling a prescription will be a hassle, if not impossible, at sea so pack all of your prescription medication. Make a copy of your prescriptions or a copy of the medicine bottle; if you loose your medication then replacing it will be easier. It's also a good idea to bring an over the counter medicine kit for tummy aches, headaches and allergies. If you'll be traveling to other countries, your digestive system may not be immune to the bacteria in the food and water. Anti-diarrhea pills is what your doctor can prescribe you to take just in case you encounter this problem.
You can have a cruise ship tour that is hassle free as long as your prepare for your travel trip. Aside from protecting yourself from the sun, you should also prepare for sea sickness and remember your medicine.
