Spending your vacation on a Caribbean cruise is enough to almost guarantee a fun vacation. But there are a few simple things you can do to help ensure that your vacation goes smoothly. We've put together a short list of tips to help you plan your trip and create that great Caribbean cruise experience.
When preparing for a Caribbean cruise, most people are only thinking about warm weather and sunny beaches. You'll need to think about more than just that while you're packing. Although there is plenty of sunshine and beach to enjoy, there are many other activities to enjoy on your trip. Pack some shorts, some muscle shirts, and a few dresses. However also remember to bring a long a light jacket and at least one warmer outfit.
Even in the sunny Caribbean can have unpredictable weather. A little forethought can keep you from getting caught off guard. Of course, sun block and sun glasses are a must. As are a camera, something to read, and some music.
Remember that good health care may be hard to come by. This is especially true if your cruise itinerary contains long stretches at sea. Bring enough of your regular medications for the duration of your trip as well as some backup. Check with your doctor ahead of time to ensure that common seasickness drugs will not have adverse reactions with your other medications.
Remember to pace yourself while on vacation, it's not a race, relax and don't tax your system. You want to make sure to enjoy the trip and stay healthy as well. Write a list of those medical needs you have but only bring what's necessary. You don't want to over pack either.
Consider how much cash to carry with you. The age of ATMs makes this question much easier to answer. While pirates are not a major concern these days, keep your cash to a minimum to avoid pickpockets and petty thieves. But you will want to have enough to tip the cruise staff and shopping on the mainland. The good news is that with ATMs you can get money as you need it. You may find fees inconvenient, but much less so than losing all the money you had saved for the trip.
To ensure full peace of mind, make arrangements for someone to watch your house while you are away. Knowing that your home and pets are in good hands will allow you to fully relax and enjoy your Caribbean cruise. Have a trusted neighbor or friend regularly check on your house, pick up mail and newspapers, and keep on eye on things. Keep things running as normally as possible. If you have regular housekeeping or lawn service, don't cancel them. Make sure people know how to get in touch with you through the cruise line and shore locations in case of emergency.
A few simple things can make your dream vacation one that is truly relaxing. These simple steps can ensure true peace of mind that allows you to really enjoy your Caribbean vacation. Pack strategically, minimize your cash on hand and make sure your home is well tended. Then embark on a fantastic vacation and enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean. - 31819
