Even though wearing a brand new pair of shoes may sound like a nice idea, breaking in the shoes can lead to uncomfortable blisters. If you’re cruising to Europe, for example, you may walk several miles each day, whether sightseeing in Rome or strolling through Santorini.Īlthough walking is, of course, beneficial for your health, it can result in painful blisters, particularly when wearing new shoes.ĭue to this, we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes that you have worn many times before. Not only that, but many ports and shore excursions require more walking than you’re used to. Cruise ships are big, and walking up, down, and around the ship results in thousands of steps! Most passengers find themselves walking more on a cruise compared to their day to day life at home. Not only is bloating uncomfortable, but it can destroy your plans of wearing that cute, tight dress on formal night! Blisters It’s also a good idea to drink water and avoid foods that typically cause you to bloat, such as dairy products or bread. Sadly, indulging in delicious cuisine while onboard can lead to bloating, a problem no passenger wants to deal with.Ĭombat bloating by eating more slowly, chewing food properly before swallowing, and increasing physical activity while onboard. While it’s a bit embarrassing to walk around with sweat stains on your armpits and back, it’s an unfortunate reality of being on a cruise! Bloatingįood is an enjoyable and important aspect of any cruise vacation, from sushi rolls at Izumi to molten chocolate cake in the Main Dining Room. If you’re not used to these temperatures, your body will overcompensate for the temperature, leading to intense sweating. Whether cruising to the Caribbean, Europe, South Pacific, or Southeast Asia, you can encounter uncomfortably warm temperatures onboard and in port. While you might not sweat much while cruising to the Arctic or Alaska, it’s likely you’ll be very sweaty on a warm weather cruise.
There’s nothing pleasant about sweating, but unfortunately, it’s a common occurrence on a cruise vacation. Sunscreen or not, sunburns can still happen, and aloe vera is much more affordable at your local drugstore compared to the price on your cruise ship. It’s also recommended to pack aloe vera for a cruise. Because of this, I always advise packing sunscreen lotion over the spray variety. Personally, I’ve had terrible experiences with spray sunscreen which have resulted in extremely painful sunburns.

No one wants to get sunburned on a cruise, and while some passengers are more prone to sunburns than others, it’s extremely important to prevent burning as much as possible.ĭepending on your cruise destination, the sun could be a lot stronger than what you’re used to at home, especially if you’re traveling from a cold climate to a tropical climate.
Sunburnīy day two of a cruise, it’s almost guaranteed to see a large number of bright red, sunburned passengers on your ship. And, before loading your plate with quesadillas and steak, add a few vegetables, too, and be sure to stay hydrated. It’s advised to eat fiber-rich foods while on a cruise to prevent constipation, including whole grains, beans, and fruits. Again, the sudden change in lifestyle in diet on a cruise can confuse your digestive system, leaving you feeling miserable and constipated. On the other end of the spectrum is constipation, which is another problem many cruisers face while onboard.
If your stomach is making… suspicious noises when getting ready for a port day, bring a roll of toilet paper in your bag just in case! Constipation My best tip is to pack anti-diarrheal medication for cruise, as you never know when or if you will experience diarrhea. This problem can get even worse if you eat questionable street food or drink contaminated water in a foreign country. The sudden change of diet combined with new types of food and long hours traveling can wreak havoc on your digestive system. You could also lay off the 2AM slices of pizza at Sorrento’s and third helping of fried shrimp at dinner, although this will take significantly more willpower! DiarrheaĪnother unfortunate problem many cruisers face while onboard is diarrhea. To counteract this problem, I recommend packing TUMS or other antacid products. This can quickly lead to uncomfortable heartburn that leaves you feeling miserable. While you can certainly find healthy foods onboard, most passengers indulge on more fatty and fried foods than they normally would. Whenever I’m on a Royal Caribbean cruise, I find myself dealing with heartburn more often than usual.
