FAQ
Do I have to tip my Cruise Director
It varies from one cruise line to the next. Some cruise directors receive tips while others don't. Asking your Cruise Director when you board a ship is the best way to determine if they are entitled to tips. They will often tell you if tips are expected.
Can you take a cruise without a passport?
If you want to travel the world, you should have a passport. It allows you to visit any country without needing visas or other paperwork.
Without a passport, you might not be permitted to enter certain countries. You can also stay longer abroad with a passport.
Should I book my cruise before or after booking my airfare?
It depends on which part of the world you are traveling to. It's better to book your cruise earlier than later because you have more flexibility on dates. A cruise could be planned around summer months in Europe, for instance. For those who are planning to go to South America or Asia, it might be a better idea to book your cruise after high season to avoid high prices.

How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
The best way to avoid seasickness on a cruise is by wearing a hat. By keeping the head in a fixed position, a wide-brimmed hat prevents motion sickness.
A hat can also keep water off the head, decreasing the amount of moisture in the air. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate your body, making it more difficult for fluids to move around in your stomach. Salt levels can be decreased by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
These are just some of the possible ways to reduce seasickness. Side effects may include dry mouth or constipation, blurred eyes, headaches, dry mouth, dry eye, dry nose, dry mouth, dry stomach, dry mouth, dry vision, dry cough, and dry eyes.
