do not wash do not wipe your glasses or your sunglasses now even though they don't look they've got sand on they will be covered in um spray so don't wipe them they will get scratched

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially with the breezes.
Use provided towels from the ship; ask your cabin steward for fresh ones.
Rinse glasses or sunglasses with water instead of wiping to avoid scratches.
Fill water bottles from ship water sources, not under buffet taps for hygiene.

Dehydration in warm climatesTake plenty of water; it's included if on a package, or fill your own bottle.
Snorkeling mask leaksUse a full-face snorkel mask, which is brilliant for beginners and prevents leaks.
