Tips for Cruising 2 1/23/2008 4:22:50 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment Here are two more tips to help make your cruising experience more enjoyable. ************************************************************************** 3. Getting lax with sanitary precautions. Aboard ship, wash your hands frequently and always before eating, especially after touching the elevator buttons, door knobs or stairway handrails on the way to the dining room. Use the antibacterial liquids in machines scattered around the ship. With constant washing, cruise ship surfaces are cleaner than most public places. Your fellow passengers are not. 4. Leaving the country without a passport or insurance. Even if the cruise line says you don't need a passport, get one just in case you need to return quickly to the United States or obtain help from the State Department outside the country. Don't forget to check your out-of-country medical coverage; you may want to buy short-term insurance. (I also carry medical evacuation insurance.)
