So, you have booked yourself a cruise vacation, and now you’re slowly packing your things. Well, lucky you! I envy you, but I’d also like to help you stay safe, especially if you are traveling alone. While you are planning to have the time of your life, you should also consider using some safety measures. I know thinking about safety can be a mood killer, but it is necessary, so buckle up… I have found some great cruise cabin safety tips, and I will share them with you today!
Cruise Cabin Safety
I was scrolling YouTube Shorts the other day, and one video caught my attention. I never thought much about this topic – after all, who thinks about safety when on a cruise vacation? Well, you should— so take a look at this video:
If the video was unclear or you need more information, keep reading:
1. Cover The Peep Hole
If the door to your cruise cabin has a peephole, you should cover it with sticky and non-transparent tape. This will prevent outsiders from peeping into your cabin. Even if your peephole has a cover like in the video, that’s not always enough to protect you from some curious eyes, so take a minute of your time to increase your privacy and safety!
2. Bring Travel Door Locks on Your Cruise
All cruise cabin doors have locks, but is that enough? What if someone gets a copy of your key? That’s why you should always bring a portable door lock, a small but useful gadget that you can easily install on any door type. So, even if someone manages to unlock the regular lock, they won’t be able to pass by the second lock.
3. Try Door Stoppers
Another way to prevent unwanted guests is to bring a door stopper and place it in front of the door inside the cabin. The door stopper from the video has a built-in alarm system that gets triggered when someone pushes the door. Trust me, the loud alarm will deter anyone who tries to come into your cabin. Don’t forget to remove this door stopper if you are expecting guests, as you don’t want them to be scared away! Or, maybe it could be a fun prank. 😃
4. Look For Hidden Cameras in Your Cruise Cabin
You can use a flashlight on mirrors, electrical outlets, and other nooks and crannies where someone could have placed a hidden camera. Look for any unusual reflections, as they could be the hidden camera lens. You can also turn all the lights off to see better. If you don’t have a flashlight, you can also use your phone’s camera and point it at suspicious locations. These cameras can spot the sources of IR light, and many hidden cameras use this type of light for night vision.
Additionally, check the mirrors inside the cabin by touching them with the tip of your finger or fingernail. If there is a gap between your finger and its reflection, the mirror is one-way and completely safe. However, if there is no gap between the finger and its reflection, it’s a two-way mirror, and someone could be watching you from the other side.
5. Take Nausea Medicine
In the video, the girl has taken nausea patches and placed them behind the ear. If you can’t find these patches, you can buy another type of nausea medicine in your local pharmacy. This will prevent motion sickness or seasickness, allowing you to enjoy your cruise to the fullest.
6. Disinfect Your Cruise Cabin!
When you check in to your cabin, you never know who was there before you. That’s why you should always bring disinfectant/anti-bacterial wet wipes with you. Use them to wipe door locks, remote controllers, phone handles, and any other spots that have been touched by previous guests.
Stay Vigilant and Trust Your Guts
In the end, the best cruise cabin safety tip you can get is to be cautious. If something doesn’t feel right, remove yourself from that situation. As you spend more time on the cruise and in your cabin, you will learn even more ways to be safe, while still having the time of your life.
