Life on a cruise ship is like no other. The crew likes to have fun and the fellow passengers are carefree and easy going; the atmosphere is very relaxed. For this reason you need to be on guard to keep your valuables safe. Here are some tips for preventing theft while on a vacation cruise.

Before you board your ship, you’ll need to sign a waiver releasing the cruise line company of any stolen property. If you do have something stolen while on the ship it will be a huge hassle. You’ll need to file multiple police reports and the ship security will do little to find your stolen items since it’s unreasonable to search every passenger and crewmember on the ship. Prevention is crucial to ensure a hassle free travel tour cruise.

The ship has safety boxes for guest to store their valuables. Take advantage of these especially if you have expensive jewelry or other pricey items that you won’t be carrying with you everyday. Don’t rely on hiding your valuable in your room; everyone knows to look under the mattress.

Don’t bring too much cash with you. While you’re on the ship there will be little need for cash. You can pay your tab at the end of your trip. Credit cards are widely accepted and many ports of call, even in foreign countries, will have bank machines. Make a list of your credit card institutions, the card numbers and bank contact details. Keep the list separate from your cards and consider giving it to a family member for safekeeping. Also think about getting traveler’s checks; there is only a small fee involved and they are easily replaced if lost or stolen.

While 99 percent of the crew and fellow passengers are honest, there can be one or two who are dishonest. Don’t let your guard down and keep your wallet or purse close to you. While you’re at the pool make sure a family member watches over your valuables. Though pickpockets are rare, keep your wallet in your front pocket. Never leave money or jewelry out in your room; it can be a temptation for dishonest crewmembers. Keep track of your room key and always make sure your cabin door is securely shut.

If you see anyone that appears to be suspicious report it to security. Make sure you let your kids know that even on a cruise where everyone is friendly they should not talk to strangers.

Taking a cruise is sure to be a “once in a lifetime” vacation that will bring you years of wonderful memories. Cruise ship safety is essential to ensure a hassle free and enjoyable vacation. Keep your valuables secure, don’t carry too much cash and report anything suspicious.
