Essay On Cruise Vacation

824 Words4 Pages

There are countless ways that you could pack for your special cruise vacation. One that's favored by men is: Wait until the last minute, throw some things together, and anything you forget you either don't need or you can buy. (I personally subscribe to this thinking!) However, if you truly want a system for getting things together for your cruise, try this idea for how to pack for a cruise.

Make sure that you have a change of clothes with you as carry-ons. This may seem strange. Cruise passengers may not receive their luggage until late in the day of embarkation. Your checked luggage is delivered right to your stateroom. With as many as three thousand passengers all having one or two bags, that's a lot of luggage to deliver! ( On one cruise, we went on board around 1:00 and didn't receive the last of our luggage until about 7:00 that evening.) So, if you have left a cold climate to arrive at the airport and then directly to the cruise ship, you may want to put on some lighter clothing when you get on

    This was the same for sleeping arrangements unless you willingly chose to sleep above deck vulnerable to the elements and the sounds of the crew members maintaining the ship. Restocking for supplies at ports while on their way to Rio de las Palmas was a curse in the sense that the passengers left the voyage and joined settlements, Native American tribes, etc. on the way especially when stopping at Gran Canaria and La Palma. Overcrowding worsened the depletion of the passengers by the spread of disease and sickness due to the lack of personal space.
