No matter what type of travel tour that you take, there are some things that you will always need to be concerned with. For most people, taking a vacation cruise is a once in a lifetime experience, something they always look forward to, so they may not think about something as common as their safety. However, even though cruises are treated as vacationing, you still need to use some common sense about cruise ship safety, so that you and your belongings will be safe.
When you take a vacation cruise, you might need to sign a waiver absolving the cruise ship company from any responsibility about any items you might lose aboard their ship. This shows you that you need to take your cruise ship safety seriously. This includes keeping your valuables secure and using common sense during the trip. If a theft occurs while you are onboard, you will find that an investigation can be quite complicated. Theft is a crime, and being on a cruise ship heading to another part of the world, makes it harder to conduct an investigation. In fact, the process is sometimes so overwhelming that people just give up.
The most important thing that you need to do is to make a list of what you are bringing with you on your vacation cruise. This can help you if you think that something has been stolen. You will want to make a record of all of your bank account and credit card numbers, so that you will have a record of them in case of theft too. Don’t keep this list with you, but leave it with a person that you can trust at home. You will want to make a list of important phone numbers to bring with you, in case if anything is stolen, you can call them easily without losing time searching for phone numbers.
The cruise ship does offer some security methods to enable you to keep your valuable items safe, possibly including safes in your room – or some safe holding place. Leaving your wallet exposed in your back pocket is a sure fire way of inviting theft. Consider using a concealed money belt instead. Flashing your wallet out in the open draws attention. Pulling cash or cards out from a hidden pocket usually doesn’t.
These safety suggestions should help cover your personal belonging. Anytime that you are on a vacation, whether it is a cruise or to a resort hotel, you should be concerned about keeping yourself and your belongings safe so you don’t spend your vacation at the police station.
