Advice from a travel writer on everything to bring (and failing) to ensure a great cruise

 Well, you've done. After months or years of advertising and word of mouth, they've actually booked their first cruise. You made your way through a long chain of decisions: the date, itinerary (Caribbean, Transatlantic, Mexico, the Mediterranean, Hawaii), cruise line and their demographic characteristics, specific cruise, type of cabin ( Inside, window, balcony), first and second seats. Now, what to pack for his first outing? I love cruising. I fully understand the Wall Street Journal profile of Zillionaire who sold their houses and their cars and now lives permanently, 365 in a series of cruise ships, rotating among their favorites and organize birthday parties for their favorite crew. (And if you did not 't yet reserved, which is on the sweet end of a very competitive Internet market and currently offers full market from a buyer. Of all the many discount stores in cruise line, my site favorite, free plug is www.vacationstogo.com. Your website is an incredibly wide stop with links to all cruises, all ships, all possible discounts available and the cruise experience itself. Even if you have booked already, stop and check out their tips and links.) Here are some packing tips to ensure that the first cruise experience is as enjoyable as all of mine have been. Trust me, you'll love all minute.1. Cabin storage is limited compared with the average hotel room. A small closet, some small drawers, and office can be under the bed. Less is more2. Relax. All normal to forget or run out (SPF 50, sunglasses, toiletries, casual clothing, formal Night Strip) is available for sale at one of the many craft shops. (Hint: in a typical day cruise 7, 50% discount on sales suddenly around day 5). Therefore, no need to pack as if you're spending eight seasons with the castaways on Gilligan's Island (how the Howells fit all trunks full of props-frame for the SS Minnow '3-hour cruise? ) 3. Soft-side, folding luggage room better. But if the cabin Virtual Tour gives no security, consider a hard side, suitcase locked, theft-resistant to keep your (less is more) valuables out of the easy temptation for their hard work, but with wages low, and only human, cleaning staff.4. For valuables, I'm thinking on key chains, wallets (one of the joys of cruising is that it is a cashless society on board, until the last night, when the tip of the staff), cell phones and chargers (you may be surprised how many islands you can get a signal in ... for when you want to call home and rave about how well you're taking). Leave your jewelry home. Think sports clock Casio, Rolex. There are onboard Internet access available, so if you're thinking of bringing a laptop just for email, you can safely leave home too. You're on vacation! 5. Smart clothes, once again, less is more. In warm weather cruises, you'll spend most of the time in surprisingly few changes of shorts, shirts and beachwear. Cargo pockets are a plus, like all the zippered pockets or hold. For dinner in the dining room of a large scale (and do not miss this, eating is one of the great joys), khakis and a polo shirt for men and anything informal cotton summer dress for women should be fine. Formal night (s) in the high tail can be a fun excuse to dress and gesture with the aristocratic traditions of old steam. If you would like to participate, but do not want to drag a bag of clothes, may predispose complete tuxedo rental onboard. No need to overreact, however, Formal Night is completely optional, not an order of Queen Victoria. Ladies, not simple black and would be more than good, ladies and gentlemen, despite a jacket and tie would be a nice gesture, black tie is not required to claim their rightful main rib and lobster tail. . (If it were, the motto might be "No Shoes, No Tux, No Service") 0.6 brings several changes of clothes, bath / jacuzzi wear, all hanging to dry in the morning shower takes longer to dry that. Supplex fabric ground is a good choice, it dries faster than most cotton shirts can remain wet for so long, ... Nylon T have an edge flip-flops with ankle straps are good choices for deep sand and good windbreaker comes in handy even in the tropical nights when the ship's average speed is 28 mph. And do not forget training equipment for the fitness of the ship, and for all fitness classes offer.7. sun hats, sunscreen (SPF 30 to 50), Aloe Vera gel to the inevitable burn pairs, a number of expendable cheap sunglasses in a neck cord $ 2 sports. Because it ensures, just as you slide is inclined to admire the sea covers seven up.8. Do not forget to bring your passport. New rules.9. prescriptions in their original labeled bottles Customs keep you happy. There is also a well equipped medical clinic with the most common pharmaceuticals available if you need it.10. Bring a book or two if you like, but remember there is a collection of the great ship and will be a lot of things to do besides reading. (Hint: if you photocopy the relevant pages of the guides of your itinerary, you can save shlepping the books themselves.) Do not keep a diary or journal, pad, pens, etc -... you're going to have a lot of experiences worth writing about 11 digital camera (s), rechargeable batteries and charger compact binoculars (with safety ropes, such as shadows) to control costs and spending ships.12. Cruise lines officially frown on bringing alcohol in their luggage for consumption in the room. But many people do it discreetly so that the end of the tab bar-cruise 13 .. I was surprised on my first cruise in the number of people with $ 40 Wal-Mart walkie talkies. These mega-ships are now so large that it is surprisingly easy to completely lose members of your family or your spouse, work your way through the buffet breakfast (unless you and the Master Plan). So the replacement of walkie talkies for mobile phones. Consider a set, and as a store, organize a central meeting point of Plan B, over time you turn around and you're ... alone.Again suddenly in doubt, less is more. " intelligent light package, travel, and have a great cruise in the first place. Look for my travel article here on BC and earlier. Come down to the table in the second to be at some point.

Seven ways to be prepared: Travel Writing

 An old proverb says that is certainly the case for travel prepared in writing: "People do not plan to fail, they fail to plan." Not prepared in writing for the trip is one of the biggest drawbacks of the fulfillment of his dreams in this venture . For me the dream, in the travel writing published, many years only to be ready I was a boy for.When spans get about four years ago, I found myself with the road atlas in my house is fascinating. I would draw the outlines of the states over and over until I got it just right. If the school is not in session, I would often accompany my father on the road in his semi-truck. More years pass, until I saw a dime for my writing. A number of travel-related jobs as an adult, trekking overseas, and their willingness to get more serious about my writing would take place before I ever paid for writing about my travels. We have all taken different paths in life, but here are some tips to ready for the prospective authors are world-traveling: Be prepared to sight a number of personal experiences and hobbies as a feed for travel-related articles. Draw on work activities. If you venture away for business, or voluntary work from home, these experiences and lessons ingredients for a series of travel articles. My first sale as a writer came about because of my volunteer work in Spain. If you are visiting in-laws in a city you have a million times, you can expect to travel in the future, because every article has a history venue. Discover its many facets, and thought of acting as a kind of temporary "breathing space" from the relatives, especially if they drive you bonkers! When reading a book, realize that the settings for them and the meeting places of the authors past places people like to visit. For night-lifers, think of the hot after hours night clubs in your area or another city that could be made into a salable product. If you are passionate about food, refer to a travel experience because the culinary and travel content, a constant theme in travel writing and food publications. Be prepared to follow up on what topic your curiosity or tug your heart, especially if it does not get much coverage. Such issues can capture the interest of at least one editor. I was fascinated about how odd airport code for Chicago ORD, MCO for Orlando and MSY for New Orleans. I followed with research and found many great stories for the Strange Ones. After many rejections, I found an editor who really liked the article and published it. Since this article was re-several times, because I sold acted on my curiosity. When a rejection comes, honest re-visit your work and see how it can be improved. Looking for other writers writing groups for their contributions if you are not getting anywhere or want feedback before submitting the work initially. Other things can in your letter that you can be blinded to see. Find to forward a different market, so you positive action instead of pity for himself after getting a rejection letter. Be prepared to stay the course. I understand that the Chicken Soup for the Soul Creator of scores were rejected by publishers, but retained on the template. Now, as many chickens as a chicken soup book exist because of the authors endurance! If you just published clips from non-travel have thematic publications, but are submitting a query or a finished work to a travel editor willing to show your non-travel-related works (including unpublished works, if you do not have published clips) via an online link, PDF format, or photocopy because editors will see what you write on the scope. You may even want to use your item (s) to a reprint, or it could have editorial ideas on a future travel goods tie spark in the matter you have already written about. This happened to me, but it was the reverse scenario. Nevertheless, my point will be explained: I had an article about how I came to my own cat wrote and sent it to an editor of a regional publication in Canada. He did not like it, but one of my published clips on a South African experience of mine caught his fancy, he offered him emphatically. I never thought the editor had ever considered the essay for its publication after reading of his medium. By the editor published the spectrum of my work, I grabbed a fateful assumption from the jaws of rejection! Be prepared for your first and best clippings in PDF format. Many online sites do not archive content forever. And if a website is to fold, then you are out of luck, even if the writings were not in PDF format. PDF articles have a professional look to them and are easy to format. See the website in "sources" for more information. Be prepared to sell these items again after they have, whether published and when the rights to resell your work. You may need to be revised, but as many publications buy reprints, this means the potential for more money. Any additional improvements / updates will help you to improve this letter. Write to the value of a good piece is that they keep in touch the lives of readers. Crafted words are the literal gift that keeps. I'm still paying my dues and learning the trade Travel writing. The most important thing in the pursuit of every dream is to decide, "Just do it" and persistent, something most of you value in life. How ready are you to deal with these tests?
