Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Sail Away Magazine.

  1. Look for ships with higher passenger space ratios to avoid feeling crowded.

  2. If you genuinely feel something serious has happened, go to your muster station immediately; do not go back to your cabin.

  3. Voting with your feet is really important. It can and does make a difference.

  4. If looking for adults-only mainstream cruising, be aware that options are currently limited.

  5. If traveling to Cairo in Egypt, be advised to be discreet about your sexuality to prevent being arrested for morality laws.

  6. Bring a small travel kettle to avoid using hotel kettles.

  7. Be prepared for significant jet lag when traveling to China.

  8. If you have mobility issues, be cautious as many sites involve steep inclines and stairs.
