4 things to keep in mind on the last day of your cruise

The last day of any holiday is painful to give up, especially if it is the last day of your cruise holiday. While your major focus would be on packing, there are a few other things to keep in mind when disembarking from a cruise. There are plenty of times when travellers forget something that they wanted to bring home or experience before the trip ended.

 

The feeling of regret is the worst feeling ever and to help you avoid such excruciating ‘I wish I had remembered’ moments, here’s a list of 4 things you should definitely keep in mind before you get off-board a cruise liner -

 

1)   Go Shopping

A cruise holiday is very memorable and full of different thrills and it is only natural to get souvenirs for you and your loved ones. Many premium cruise liners offer a plethora of attractive shopping options to choose from. From clothes to small mementoes to premium cigarettes and alcohol, there are plenty of choices! On the last day, the cruise offers all these items at a duty-free price and shopping before you leave helps you not only to bring a memory home but even save money while doing so.

 

2)   Take a look at the debarking instructions

Cruising is a very refined experience overall and the debarkation process is the same. Debarking a cruise ship is a very disciplined and smooth process. It is recommended to read the debarking information pamphlet provided in your room in advance to ensure an easy and swift off-boarding process.

 

3)   Rejuvenate and re-energize your body and mind

The pressures and responsibilities of your life resume after the cruise holiday. However, before you disembark and go back to your hectic life you should definitely book appointments on the cruise for spa and salon sessions. This helps your body loosen up and gets you re-energised to handle your work even more efficiently. If you appreciate a good brew, you should definitely order a good beer from the poolside bar and relax on the deck, after all, nothing is more calming than sipping on a fine drink and watching the sunset into the ocean. However, if getting energized for you means to party, the premium cruise liners can cater to that need too! You can dance the night away with the DJ party that the cruise’s crew organizes at the end of the last day and get what you need to end the vacation with a blast.

 

4)   Check the luggage tags

Luggage tags are kept in your cabin along with the pamphlet that provides information about the debarkation process. These tags use a number or a colour type of identification system that corresponds to the time frame that is designated to a passenger to debark. It is advised to check your luggage tags on your last day to ensure a confusion-free debarking process for you and even the other passengers. Just in case you do not find these tags in your cabin, you should know, some cruise liners do not place these tags in your stateroom but require you to pick them up from a designated distribution desk.

 

We hope this article helps you enjoy and utilize the last day of your cruise holiday to the maximum. Happy cruising!
