Dangerous Cruise Ports You Should Stay Far Away From!

…including the famous Royal Caribbean Perfect Day CocoCay, MSC’s Ocean Cay, Disney’s Castaway Cay, and others. After disembarking Symphony of the Seas, I boarded Oceania Vista thinking that I’d put all the risky ports behind me. But I soon discovered that two of the ports had elevated travel advisories against them, and one of the previously safe ports was no longer one. Let me talk about that one first. That is Cozumel in Mexico. Cozumel Cozumel h…

…ied. This decision was reinforced for me when doing a helicopter tour on a Disney Magic Norway cruise. Talking to the pilot, I found the line only allowed pilots from that company with over a certain number of flying hours to be used on their tours. In the back of my mind was the terrible accident in Misty Fjords, near Ketchikan Alaska, a few years back.

Pro-Cruise Tricks Smart Cruisers Don’t Want You Know About!

…ay! More Signals Other lines also added even more signals. Just like on my Disney Magic cruise. I saw they had metal fish above the door numbers pointing the direction to the rear, and if the map in the carpet was the right-side-up, I knew that was the direction to the front of the ship.

…us cruises that I’ve taken home from some premium lines, like Windstar and Disney, are the little cable tidies the cabin steward uses to tidy the charger cables for things like my mobile phone.

Don’t Break These 6 Rules Or You’ll Drive Other Cruisers Crazy

…want to follow the dress code rules then consider lines like Norwegian or Disney, which have no dress code rules, and even shorts are fine for dinner. Though most cruise lines do have dress codes rules, and as there are rules, some get annoyed when it is broken.

But for me it is neither, it is just a very strange place. And unless you are living there for tax purposes it is hard to see why you would want to live there.
