Unfortunately, when you travel, you need to be concerned with thieves who may try to steal your wallet, driver’s license, passport, and other valuables you have with you on a cruise. Being vigilant and trying not to bring too much with you can help reduce the risk of being robbed while you are trying to enjoy yourself. Cabins aboard many cruise ships are not too secure. While they have locks or card keys, these are not changed as often as hotels, so people who stayed in them before could get back into the room if they wanted. When travelling on a ship, the best way to deter thieves from stealing from you is by not carrying too much with you.
If you have items that you consider valuable, store them in a safe that is located in the cabin or ask the staff to store them in the ship’s safe. This can include jewelry, passports and other identification information, larger amounts of money, and anything else you think a thief might be interested in. Storing these items in a safe will give you peace of mind when leaving the ship or when participating in activities during the day or at nighttime.
If you plan on carrying your wallet or purse with you, make sure...
