Secret Tips and Tricks for Cruisers
Jewelry
Don't bring your expensive jewelry with you on the cruise, not even your wedding set. Buy another inexpensive set of Cubic Zirconia for $20-50 to wear for the duration of your cruise. No one will know the difference and you can even get something nicer ofr more fancy than what you currently have. If something happens in port or on the cruise then you won't be heartbroken that you lost it.
Contact Information
A very easy way to keep in contact with people you meet on your cruise is to make pre-printed cards with your name, phone number, e-mail address, facebook, Instagram or Twitter contact info to hand out to people you meet. This will also allow you to share photos later as well.
Bringing Alcohol Aboard...
Many people bring alcohol onto the cruise ships above and beyond the 2-wine bottle per stateroom limit. The easiest and most successful way to do this is using a product called "Rum-runners". These are Plastic pouches that come in different sizes, can be filled with various alcohols and do not show up on X-ray scans. Be sure to label the pouches to be sure you know which is which. Non-alcoholic mixers can be carried on during embarkation as well as in each port when returning to the ship. Remember to pack a closed sealable container to mix in.
