Do’s and Don’ts For Conscientious Cruise Ship Passengers

Do’s and Don’ts For Conscientious Cruise Ship Passengers

Cruising over the past two decades has reached a level of popularity not seen since the introduction of passenger jets. Themed cruises catering to everyone from singles and cinephiles to heavy metal fans and jazz buffs are all the rage, whether the destination is deep in the Caribbean or a short run up and down the Pacific coast.

Part of cruising’s 21^st century attraction is that it’s comparatively stress free – just show up, check into your cabin and let the captain and crew handle the rest. If you are looking to hit the high seas this year, here are some initial do’s and don’ts to consider while waiting for your ship to come in.

Do understand what is and isn’t included in your fare, as most cruises are not all-inclusive. Your base fare will likely include accommodations, entertainment and select food and beverages, as well as transportation between each port of call. Beyond that, you might be on the hook.

Don’t assume that all cruise lines and ships are the same. This is particularly relevant in an era of rapid cruise-industry expansion. Conduct the research need to ensure potential ships meet you and your family’s specific needs before booking your cruise.

Do make sure your flight arrives the day before the ship departs. It is tempting to want to fly in the day of to save money on a hotel and take less time off of work. However, even if you book the earliest departure, a single flight delay can cause you to miss the ship. And remember that, depending on your itinerary, you may not be allowed to meet up with the ship at another port of call.

Don’t book a cruise just because it is cheap. Sometimes, you will come across a deal that seems too good to be true, and that is probably because it is. If you find a rate that is $200 per person for a 4-night cruise, you will likely end up paying more than that when all is said and done, as things like port fees, gratuities, shore excursions, alcoholic beverages and Wi-Fi are not included in that initial fare. Do research each port of call prior to coming aboard. This will make it easier to book once-in-a-lifetime excursions, such as riding up to the top of a glacier in Alaska via helicopter, snorkeling with sea turtles or visiting ancient Mayan ruins. It also will enhance your experience by deepening your knowledge and understanding of each port’s history and culture.

Don’t skip the cruise travel insurance. When you are planning your picture-perfect vacation, you never want to think about the worst-case scenario. Life, however, happens. You may get ill prior to embarkation or miss a connecting flight. This is why it is important to purchase travel insurance, as it ensures that you will be covered if things do not go as planned.

How to Stay Mentally Sharp in Retirement

How to Stay Mentally Sharp in Retirement

Decades of research confirms that memory loss, sensory changes and diminished problem-solving skills are a natural part of the aging experience. Of course, that’s not to say the onset of such conditions cannot be depressing or even downright scary, bringing with them the specter of dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Fortunately, seniors can slow cognitive decline by keeping their brains engaged. Here are few strategies to consider if you want to keep your life active and your mind sharp as you age.

Sack Time: No matter how old you are, you know the experience of getting too little sleep and struggling through the next day. This can become a more consistent problem as people age due to the medications they take. You can combat the phenomenon by adhering to a rigorous sleep regimen that includes limiting naps, sticking to a bedtime routine and avoiding caffeine late in the day. Also stay away from the TV, computer and phone as you get closer to bedtime.

Hang With the Grandkids: Grandchildren are one of life’s greatest joys – they’re young and vibrant and can you feel young and vibrant, too. In fact, because young minds are still growing and learning, the act of teaching them new things keeps your mind active. In addition, spending more time with grandchildren has been linked to lower risk of depression among grandparents.

Puzzle Me This: Word and number puzzles are great for memory. Crosswords, Sudoku, Unscrambler and the rest require seniors to exercise word recall, math concepts, spelling and even grammar and reasoning. In addition, they are fun because they foster a sense of accomplishment. Time to bust out the Scrabble board!

(Jigsaw) Pieces in A Puzzle: Jigsaw puzzles are great for memory too, and they’re an activity you can do by yourself and still enjoy. Puzzles are like artwork you can create relatively quickly. Plus, the process exercises the parts of your brain that handle spatial relations, colors and patterns, all at the same time. For the best options, explore the puzzle section of your favorite local bookstore.

Time for Pastimes: Retirement is a great time to explore new hobbies and find creative outlets. There are lots of local groups that cater to hobbies, many of them comprised primarily of seniors. Explore your local arts center and see if they offer classes of interest. Or, if you already have a creative hobby, consider teaching one.

Get Moving: Exercise has consistently been shown to improve mood, reduce stress, ease anxiety and help with sleep, all of which impact concentration and memory. Remember that a consistently scheduled activity helps keep your inner clock calibrated. It may seem tough to start at first, but once you’re in a routine, you will reap the benefits.
