Cruises are great summer getaways.  You make your own schedule and get to see more than one destination, what’s better than that?  In order to have the best time possible, preparation is key.  You don’t want to have to shell out any extra money on something you forgot or have to worry about something unexpectedly.

We’ve got some great tips here to help make your next cruise as smooth as the waters!

*First thing is to make sure that everything you are leaving behind will be taken care of while you are away.  That means your house, your plants, and your animals.  Make sure you have a house sitter that you trust so that you are not constantly worrying!  The less you worry the more fun you’ll have.

*Once that is taken care of you can focus on packing.  Make sure that you bring casual clothing for day trips as well as formal clothing for cocktail dinners.  And most importantly, don’t forget your bathing suit!  Put tags on every piece of luggage that you bring to make sure it doesn’t get lost.

*Another helpful hint is to bring a carry on with one change of clothes and essentials.  You don’t want to lose anything of value.  And if it takes awhile to get your luggage you won’t have to just sit around and wait you can head to the pool!

*Also before you leave you may want to do some personal grooming so that you can just relax and have a good time when you set sail.  One really great tip is waxing.  You can get everything from your eyebrows, legs, and those nether regions waxed before the trip so that you don’t have to mess with constantly taking the time to shave.  Check out Verve 360 salon for the best brazilian wax Pittsburgh has to offer.

*Lastly, don’t forget your camera! You’ll want to remember every bit of your little getaway.

Bon voyage!
