Cruise Tips: Things You Can and Cannot Do on a Cruise Ship

Rules and Regulations

Cruise lines have rules and guidelines about what you cannot wear on a cruise ship. In some cases, these rules are strictly enforced. For example, you may not be allowed to wear swimwear in the dining room or formal attire in the casual areas. Be sure to check the dress code for your specific cruise line before you pack your bags.

Seasickness

In the event that seasickness does develop, Dr. Shore assures that it's unlikely to really interrupt your adventure since all modern cruise ships are equipped with stabilizers to minimize rocking and rolling.

Pocket Knives

So, if you have a pocket knife that you carry everywhere, you can actually bring it with you on the cruise. Just be sure to keep it in your checked luggage, as pocket knives are not allowed in carry-on bags.

Sail Away Party

During the sail away party, you could throw streamers and confetti off the sides of a ship. One tradition was to have your friends on the dock throw streamers up to you as you sailed away.
