Consider purchasing luggage padlocks that are TSA accepted and recognized.
These locks can be opened by authorized security screening personal (if they
have to check inside your luggage) without damaging your lock or luggage.
Prepare for possible sea sickness by purchasing over-the-counter medication,
anti-motion medication, pressure wrist bands and/or slow release medicated
patches that can be placed behind your ears.
Remember that the limit on weight, size and number of pieces of luggage are
different for cruise ships to those of airlines. If you must fly between your home
and the port from which the ship is sailing, ensure your luggage meets the
requirements of both the airline as well as the vessel.
Upon Boarding
Ask the crew members for suggestions on shopping and shore excursions – crew
members have been on most shore excursions and know the best locations for
shopping and sightseeing.
