Not Telling Your Cruise Line These 6 Things Could Sink Your Cruise!

Editorial Summary

Gary Bage explains the critical importance of being transparent with cruise lines regarding specific personal circumstances to avoid severe penalties such as being banned for life or denied boarding. He highlights several key areas where non-disclosure can lead to trouble, starting with cannabis related products like CBD gummies, which are prohibited on most ships regardless of state legality. The creator also discusses the necessity of declaring pregnancy, noting that many lines have strict week limits and that medical emergencies at sea can be life threatening. Other essential topics include informing the cruise line about plans to disembark at a port other than the final destination, disclosing illnesses like gastrointestinal issues to prevent outbreaks, and being honest about mobility impairments or the need for specialized medical equipment. Bage emphasizes that disclosing these needs in advance allows cruise lines to provide necessary accommodations, such as hearing loops or specific cabin types, and ensures passengers are capable of traveling safely. Finally, he advises checking rules on prohibited items like drones or equipment with heating elements to avoid confiscation.
