Be aware of all-inclusive charges
If you are hoping to save money on your trip by opting for an all-inclusive rate, you may be disappointed to find out that alcohol, Wi-Fi connectivity, and shore excursions are often not included. In addition, you may have to pay for tips, dining outside, and the money you spend on casinos, which can quickly add up to your bill.
Select the room wisely
We would recommend finding a cabin that is not directly under any popular areas of the ship such as the gym, disco bar, or any other noisy areas, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet when necessary. If you are looking near the front of the line, expect some up and down motion throughout your trip.
Bring your power outlet
Before you leave for your cruise, it is a good idea to pack an extra power outlet. This is because most cruise ships have 1 or 2 electric boards in each cabin. By bringing an external charger, you can be sure to have enough power for all of your devices.
Check excursion packages from private tour companies
You can book many of the same excursion packages, for a much lower price, by making prior arrangements with tour companies. That’s a little-known secret that will make your trip even happier. We advise you to take this opportunity because you’ll be able to get a more personalized experience.
Always wash your hands!
In cruise ships, noroviruses are the most common type of infection that passengers can contract. These viruses can be spread easily through food and can cause serious issues. It is important to take precautions against these viruses, such as cleaning your hands regularly and using hand sanitizer.
Don’t use the internet until you reach the port!
The paid Wi-Fi on cruise ships is often very expensive, so it’s better to wait until you’re in port to use the internet. Till then, you can ask crew members for tips on where to find the nearest free Wi-Fi hotspot. As they can’t afford the cruise ship’s Wi-Fi either, they’re always looking for ways to get online.
We use clean water
Do you want to know our secret? The fresh water on a cruise doesn’t just come from the ocean – it’s desalinated so that it’s safe for everyone to drink! Our big onboard desalination systems remove salt and impurities, ensuring that the water is clean and refreshing.
Book early and save!
The last-minute deal is overrated and In this modern world, you should book your cruise early to get the best prices. The cheaper rooms sell out first, so booking early will ensure you get the best price possible. There is no cheaper way of booking than when an itinerary is first announced.
Don’t leave your belongings behind
We are not responsible if any of your belongings go missing on the cruise, so it is important that you either leave valuables at home or keep them with you at all times because the cruise line has a limit of $10,000 for accepting reports of lost or stolen items.
Pirates are not an issue for us
Even though pirate attacks are very rare, we take them seriously and train our crew to handle them when needed. As per our training, the ship’s fire hoses can be used for more than fighting fires. We can’t reveal all the details, but you can expect that our ship is prepared for anything.
Park your vehicle off-site
If you are driving to the port to catch your cruise, it may be tempting to park in the terminal in order to save time. But, this is an expensive mistake people usually do. Terminal parking rates are almost always higher than at off-site lots. We suggest you use an off-site lot in order to save half the parking fees. At an off-site lot, you can take a shuttle service to and from the port.
More activities mean more fun
In order to survive in the cut-throat world of cruises, cruise lines have to offer ever more innovative and exciting attractions to their passengers. These days, you can enjoy anything from zip-lining and bumper cars to ropes courses and rock walls while on board a cruise ship. For those looking for an even more exhilarating experience, many cruise lines now offer hair-raising water slides and simulated surfing or skydiving.
Don’t leave your kid alone in the pool
If you have kids, you know that keeping them safe while on vacation can be a bit of a challenge. It has been reported that there have been drownings in Disney fantasy in recent years. After a near-drowning incident involving a four-year-old in 2013, the company decided to hire lifeguards in order to protect their patrons from such dangers.
Don’t be late
It is your headache if you’re not at the right time because the cruise ship will leave without you. Most cruises are generous with their boarding times, but if you’re cutting it too close, you may be left in the port. Make sure to be aware of your ship’s departure time to avoid any stressful situations.
Make sure to prepare a carry-on-bag
It is not sure that you will get your luggage immediately after check-in, so it is better to have a carry-on bag with all the things you need for the first few hours of the cruise. This may include your swimwear, clothes, necessary medications, or any other essential items you may need.
Cheap drinks
Don’t fool yourself in order to have cheap drinks at the hidden bar, it is meant for the crew only. Yes, it is true that the crew members do party and drink together but that’s because they are trying to relieve stress. But if you try to get into their group just for cheap drinks, you will be kicked out.
Bring your favorite drinks to this cruise
You can bring your own wine on board most cruise ships, but you may be charged an additional corking fee. On the other hand, purchasing a new bottle of wine onboard is more cost-effective. After having your first glass or any subsequent glasses, simply ask your server to mark the bottle with your name. They will be happy to save it for you until your next wine-drinking occasion.
Risky to stand near the rail
Although it is scary to think that every year 20 people fall off the cruise rail, it is even more frightening to think that somebody would rather die than be caught. And yet, that is the case for some people who either jump or fall off the rails while drunk.
Order more!
There are many people who think that they can only order one dish when they are eating on a cruise, but this is not the case. You can confidently ask for more food if you want it. Ordering extra food is perfectly fine, and the staff will be happy to accommodate your request.
The rich passengers get more benefits
The Norwegian cruise line is known for its wealth and luxury, and The Haven is one of the best places on the ship to experience. Enjoying 24-hour butler service and an exclusive pool away from all of those tourists is what Haven is all about and what makes it such a luxurious spot. Keycard access allows people to enjoy this area without having to worry about others.
Save money on your bookings
The extra benefits are available if you have stayed with us before, and you can also ask for a discount if the cost of your stay drops after making a reservation. After booking your cruise, be sure to set up an alert on cruiseline.com so that you will be notified immediately if the cost of the cruise falls below what you paid.
Pack magnetic hooks
You should pack some strong magnetic hooks to hang up your jacket and wet swimmers in your cabin while on your cruise. It is helpful to free up space so you can move around more easily, and the hooks will stick to the metal walls of your cabin.
