Stay healthy and safe in Packing for a cruise


Stay healthy and safe in Packing for a cruise

  • sunglasses, sun screen, hat, lipchap - Even if you plan to spend your time on-deck in the shade, the sunlight reflected off the waves will still affect you. Granted, you probably want to return home with enough tan to prompt questions about your trip, but don't underestimate how a sunburn can spoil your trip... and your skin tone 10 or 20 years from now.
  • aspirin, anti-diarrhea medicine, other basic medications - You can get this sort of thing onboard, but it'll probably be overpriced.
  • motion-sickness medicine/wrist band - You may not need this, but don't assume that you won't. It isn't a question of willpower or healthfulness; some people just react poorly to the motion of a ship at sea, even if they don't notice it consciously. There are over-the-counter pills you can take as needed, prescription stick-on patches for ongoing treatment, and wrist bands that (according to those who use them) effectively suppress the symptoms of motion sickness.
  • insurance card - The ship's doctor won't hesitate to treat you (billing services to your account, and letting you sort things out with your health insurance provider), and many countries have policies requiring treatment of emergency patients, but it never hurts to have proof that you have insurance, and if you're really lucky they'll bill the company directly.
  • ID card/passport - Even if the Immigration officials at the countries you're visiting don't require a passport to visit from your country, it certainly doesn't hurt to have official documentation of your citizenship.
