🚢🦠 CRUISE TIP: PREPARE FOR THE GERMS—AND DON’T FORGET THE WATER! 💧
Cruising is SO much fun, but you’re sharing elevators, handrails, buffet areas, lounges, pools and other spaces with hundreds—or even thousands—of fellow travelers.
A little preparation can help you stay healthier and enjoy your vacation!
🧼 Wash those hands!
Wash frequently, especially before eating, after using the restroom, and after touching high-contact surfaces.
🧴 Pack hand sanitizer & disinfecting wipes.
Keep sanitizer handy when you’re out exploring, and wipe down frequently touched surfaces in your cabin if you prefer the extra precaution.
💧 STAY HYDRATED!
This one is HUGE! Between the sun, walking around ports, excursions, salty foods and maybe a few tropical drinks 🍹, it’s easy to get dehydrated. Keep a water bottle with you and make drinking water part of your daily cruise routine.
😴 Get enough rest.
You don’t have to do everything! Give your body time to recharge so you can enjoy those sea days and ports.
🍽️ Use buffet utensils properly.
Use the serving utensils provided and avoid touching food with your hands.
💊 Pack your normal medications.
Bring what you regularly use, plus a few basic travel essentials so you’re prepared for minor issues.
🤒 Feeling sick before you sail?
Consider your fellow passengers and crew before boarding. Nobody wants their vacation to turn into a floating sick day!
🌴 The goal isn’t to worry about germs—it’s to be prepared!
Take a few simple precautions, drink your water, get some rest, and then get out there and ENJOY THAT CRUISE! 🚢☀️🌊
