How To Be Safe On A Vacation Cruise

Unfortunately, you need to be concerned with thieves who may try to steal your wallet, driver's license, passport, and other valuables you have with you on a cruise when you travel. If you try not to bring too much with you and be vigilant, then you can help reduce the risk of being robbed while you are trying to enjoy yourself. Cabins aboard many cruise ships are not too secure. People who stayed in them before could get back into the room if they wanted because even though they have locks and keys, they are not changed as often as hotels. The best way to deter thieves from stealing from you when you travel on a ship is by not carrying too much with you.

If you have items that you consider valuable, store them in a safe that is located in the cabin or ask the staff to store them in the ship's safe. Jewelry, passports and other identification information, larger amounts of money, and anything else you think a thief might be interested in are examples of such items. If you store these items in a safe, then you will be given some peace of mind when leaving the ship or when participating in activities during the day or at nighttime.

Make sure that you don't carry too much money on you if you plan on carrying your wallet or purse with you. If you are paying with cash for drinks or gifts for friends and family, make sure you don't take out a lot of money and advertise the fact you have it with you. What thieves tend to do is watch people and the way they carry their money. Use traveler's checks or only bring with you the amount of money you will need and nothing extra.

For the most part, cruise ships are fun places for you to vacation with your family or alone depending on what you are looking for. Making new friends is a large part of a cruise. You should be sociable but at the same time 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 valuable. Asking only the right questions is what many thieves tend to do in order not to evoke suspicion so be careful about what you say and what others may overhear.

Being the victim of theft would mean that 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 could take months before you will see any response in this process. Practicing cruise ship safety is very important because of this.
