Keep These Eight Tips In Mind To Stay Healthy On Your Cruise:

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

With the sun and sea air, it's easy to get dehydrated. Carry a reusable water bottle and fill up regularly. Opt for water over sugary drinks to keep your energy levels up and help with digestion.

‍

Choose Wisely At The Buffet.

The buffet is a wonderland of culinary delights, but remember the "everything in moderation" rule! Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables first, then add lean proteins and whole grains. Enjoy treats, but balance them out.

‍

Get Your Step In.

Cruises offer plenty of opportunities for exercise! Skip the elevator and take the stairs, walk laps on the deck, or explore the ship on foot. Many ships have walking tracks with incredible ocean views!

‍

Take Advantage Of The Ship's Gym.

Most modern cruise ships boast impressive gyms with state-of-the-art equipment and even fitness classes. Take advantage of them! A quick workout can help you burn off those delicious desserts and maintain your routine.

‍

Enjoy The Nightlife, But Don't Ignore Your Sleep.

While it's tempting to stay up late enjoying the nightlife, getting enough rest is crucial for your immune system and overall well-being. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.

‍

Souvenirs Are Great To Pick Up On Your Cruise, Germs Are NOT!

With so many people in close quarters, good hygiene is paramount. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before meals and after using the restroom. Hand sanitizer is your friend!

‍

The Sun Is Not The Same Everywhere.

The sun can be intense at sea. Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, wear a hat, and seek shade during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM). Don't let a sunburn ruin your vacation! The Caribbean islands have the most intense sun I have experienced.

‍

Indulge Yourself, But Keep Mindful.

It's your vacation, so enjoy it! Don't deny yourself entirely, but practice mindful eating and drinking. Savor each bite, enjoy that cocktail, but know when to stop. Balance is key to a truly healthy and happy cruise.
