7 things cruise passengers should never do
Cruising is a unique and holistic experience. One can never be bored as it comes with in-house activities like facials, spa treatments, an unlimited buffet, and indoor and outdoor activities. But if you have never been on a cruise before, the experience can get overwhelming. While there are many things you can enjoy doing on a cruise, there are specific things that you should avoid altogether. This article will help you identify some of them. Never forget to carry an ID card It is suggested to carry a passport or an identity card on a cruise, but sometimes it’s not practical or too expensive to get one. On most cruises, you have to show your birth certificate and photo ID before you board. A driving license should also work. But no matter the destination, always carry your ID card. Never arrive too early Cruise lines have a boarding time (typically 12 to 4 pm) wherein you can show up anytime within the period to board the ship. Some cruises have a “staggered” check-in where you check in online with a selected time to board. If you arrive early, you might be told to come back to the terminal at your scheduled time.
