There are lots of easy ways to help yourself enjoy a cruise to the fullest. Take a look at these tips and make a note to try some of them the next time you sail.
·
Don’t
miss the sail-away party. As the ship heads out to open water, go up on an open
deck to join the party, enjoy the view, and feel the fresh sea breeze. The joy
and anticipation in the air are infectious!
·
Explore
the ship. Cruise ships are marvels of engineering and design, so get to know
yours. In addition to the dining spots, entertainment venues, and pool, seek out
some cozy nooks where you can relax.
·
Organize
your cabin. Rather than leave your belongings in your luggage and your luggage
on the floor, take some time to unpack and organize. Put your clothes and shoes
in closets and drawers, place toiletries in the bathroom, and stow your luggage
where you won’t trip on it. Your cabin steward can provide extra hangers and show
you any hidden storage areas.
·
Try
new tastes. In the main dining room or at the ship’s buffet, try dishes you
haven’t had before. You may discover that you love some ingredients or flavors
that are new to you. If you’re willing to be adventurous but don’t want to
waste food, ask a companion if they would like to share a portion of something
new with you.
·
Make
a resolution to try at least one new onboard activity. Each morning, open the
cruise line’s app on your mobile device to check the daily schedule of events. Depending
on your cruise line and ship, you may have opportunities to try out some new fitness
equipment or spa treatments and to join in deck games, card tournaments,
trivia and karaoke contests, enrichment classes, and more.
·
Catch
a sunrise and a sunset. Watching the sun rise or set over open water is a
beautiful, calming, inspiring sight. Be sure to catch at least one of each
while you sail – you may find yourself making it a daily ritual.
·
Finally,
if you experience any motion sickness, ask for some medication at the passenger
service desk; or, ask your cabin steward for a green apple to eat. Either (or
both) should help as your body gets used to the motion of the ship. After all,
you don’t want to miss a moment of your wonderful cruise.
