Staying safe on a cruise
from:Deb St. George from Accommodation-in-greece.com
Even in the best cruise lines, there are always going
to be people on board whose intentions are less than
honorable.
To help you keep from becoming a victim, and to help
you stay safe on the cruise in general, follow these
simple guidelines:
1. Attend lifeboat drills
One of the first things that will happen on the cruise
ship is a lifeboat drill. Don’t be concerned; there
will be enough for everyone on board. At the lifeboat
drill, you will be told what to do in the unlikely
event that you must evacuate the ship.
2. Be aware of those around you
Keep an eye on your drink, and don’t leave it
unattended. It will only take a moment for someone to
slip something into it. It’s also not a good idea to
accept a drink from someone that you don’t know, no
matter how nice they may seem.
3. Don’t have an open door policy
Don’t open the door of your cabin to anyone unless you
can verify that they are who they say they are. Know
your cabin’s steward, and if you feel uncomfortable
opening the door go with your instinct. It’s better to
be wrong and safe than to worry about insulting
someone.
Remember, except for those in your party you are
traveling with strangers, so be aware of your
surroundings and take precautions. If you suspect
something suspicious, it’s better to err on the side
of caution. It’s better to be safe and embarrassed
than to be foolish and injured or worse.
