Caribbean Sailing Vacation: Nine Packing Tips

There is no finer way to truly relax than a Caribbean Sailing Vacation! Deciding what islands to explore during your sailing vacation is the hard part. Melody Delgado at ViSailing has plenty of suggestions to help you decide on the perfect vacation. Once your sail charter is booked, the next decision is what to take with you. Nothing can be easier than packing for a sailing vacation in the Caribbean.

Unfortunately, most first time sailing vacationers pack too much! With plenty of sun and sea, life on the Islands is very casual, and you really need very little. The following nine tips should help avoid over packing and ensure you have a great sailing vacation. The first thing to keep in mind is that storage space on a sailing vessel is usually limited and not conducive to hard-sided suitcases. Thus, strong duffel bags work best because they can be folded up when not in use. In addition, their size limits what you can bring. Most importantly, a duffel bag fits in the overhead bin of an airplane.

SHOE CARNIVAL

Too often, I have seen family and friends check luggage for an island sailing adventure only to have it not arrive. Islanders are laid back. As one friendly airline agent on Beef Island, BVI replied to my sister's inquiry about her lost luggage, "If it's not here, Mon, it's somewhere else." That somewhere else happened to be a round trip flight from Puerto Rico to Martinique and back before finally ending up back at her home in Wisconsin three weeks later. Thus, the first tip is to use a duffel bag and carry it on the plane! This avoids the stress of dealing with lost luggage. Before thinking of what to wear, there is something more important than how you will look - your travel documents.

The second tip is to put everything together you will need for your sailing vacation. These documents include your passport, as well as a copy of your passport to keep in a separate place in case your original is lost, and your charter package paperwork. Everyone taking a sailing vacation to the Caribbean is now required to have a passport. Once your sailing vacation is booked, Virgin Island Sailing will send you a confirmation packet. If you are chartering a bareboat and intend to travel to different islands, it is wise to bring additional copies of the crew list to facilitate the customs check-in process.

The third tip is that you do not need a lot of clothes for a sailing vacation. During the days aboard the boat, you only need swim suits and perhaps a cover-up. On shore, there are some finer class resorts and restaurants, like the Peter Island Yacht Club in the BVI, that require dress trousers and jackets for men and dresses for women. Most people on a sailing vacation prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. The majority of island restaurants are casual. Shorts and T-shirts are perfectly acceptable, even for dinner. For a one week sailing vacation, you will need the following clothing items: 3-4 swim suits; 3-4 pairs of shorts; 7 t-shirts (plus whatever you buy along the way); sandals and walking shoes (either tennis shoes or boat shoes) which can get wet; swim suit cover-up; enough underwear for the week; sleepwear if others other than your spouse or partner are on the cruise; a light windbreaker for quick tropical downpours; a beach towel; and your personal toiletries.

It is also a good idea to have some kind of day pack or fanny pack that lets you carry money, sunglasses, passport, guide books, a water bottle, sunscreen or anything else you might need ashore.

The fourth tip is to make sure you have protection from the sun. The constant trade winds keep the temperature comfortable, but the combined effect of overhead tropical sun and reflection from both sails and water can cause severe sunburns on pale Northern bodies. It is imperative to have suntan lotion with at least SPF 15. In addition, do not forget sunglasses, a baseball cap or sun visor, and sunburn soothers.

The fifth tip is to not lose sailing vacation fun time because of small emergencies. Bring any prescription medicine in their clearly marked original containers to avoid any hassles at Customs. Always have enough medicine on hand for a couple of extra days in case of travel delays when returning home. Although most chartered sailing vessels will have a First Aid Kit aboard, make sure to bring a small pouch of band aids, antibacterial cream, aspirin or non-aspirin pain relievers, seasickness remedies, anti-diarrhea medication, and a small can of bug spray. It is also important to bring along a small flashlight. Flashlights are great to have in your cabin in an unfamiliar dark boat, and are useful as dingy "headlights" when returning to your boat after a night ashore sampling tropical drinks.

The sixth tip is regarding water gear. Almost all of the Caribbean Islands have some place to snorkel. Most sailing charters either have snorkel equipment already on board, or it is available at the Charter office where you pick up your boat. Frankly, using a second hand snorkel is somewhat like borrowing someone else's toothbrush. If that bugs you, bring along an inexpensive snorkel.

The seventh tip is do not forget your memory maker. You will want to remember your sailing vacation and be able to share it with others. Bring along a digital camera as well as an extra memory card and set of batteries in case you are unable to recharge it. Keep you camera in a good, strong, waterproof bag because it can get wet while sailing. I found the perfect size bag at the local dive shop. A disposable or waterproof camera is great for kids.

The eighth tip is to include small items for free time either during an inter-island passage or in the anchorage. These items can include playing cards, paperback books, and CDs since most sailing charters have audio equipment aboard. Although your sailing vessel will usually be equipped with a set of binoculars, most charterers like to bring along their own because it is always fun to check out your neighbors in the anchorage.

Finally, the last tip is to bring along Zip Lock bags in several sizes. They are good for keeping important travel documents dry, for putting damp swim suits in before placing in your luggage, for separating clean from dirty laundry, and most importantly, wrapping up that bottle of rum you bring back stateside so it does not leak in your duffle bag. Remember, however, that if you do have that bottle of rum, you will need to check your luggage. You can not carry bottles of liquor onboard the airplane anymore.

No matter what your destination is on your Caribbean Island sailing vacation, there are three things in common - there will be lots of sun, lots of sea, and you will be living on a sailboat.

If you need more suggestions on how to pack, Follow the above tips, your life onboard will be easy and safe, and most importantly, it will be one of the most relaxing and fun vacations you will ever experience!

What If You Take Your Dream Vacation Without Travel Cancellation Insurance?

 First let's try to define what many people might consider a dream vacation. A 5 day visit to Machu Picchu in Peru and then on the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro for a week, approximate pre-paid cost ,000.

shoe carnival store

You've been promising your wife for years that the two of you would take a vacation to Carnival and you want to see Machu Picchu on the same vacation. So finally you decided that this is the year to do it so you begin seriously looking at different vacation packages, prices, tours and hotels. You work with a travel expert to plan your dream vacation. When all is said and done you have your vacation planned and you pay for everything up front so you don't have to worry about purchasing a lot of extras on your trip. You write a check and pay just over ,000 for your dream vacation. You have paid for a full month in advance of your vacation date. Now comes the next fun part, buying the clothes for your trip, shoes etc. You've already let your employer know when you are going on vacation so it looks like everything is all set. Both you and your wife are really excited and happy about the upcoming vacation and you both let all of your friends know and even ask them what they want you to bring back to them from Peru and Brazil.

SHOE CARNIVAL

During the next few weeks you and your wife continue your normal lives but you both are becoming more and more excited. Finally on the Monday before you leave for Peru and you begin to think about everything you have to do to wrap up things at work so you can be gone for 2 weeks. You come into the office and there's a message for you that your boss has scheduled a meeting with you for 9:00 AM. You go to his office at 9:00 AM and he asks you to sit down, there is an odd look on his face and you begin to wonder what's bothering him. You know him pretty well, you've worked there for over 15 years and have known him the whole time, he and his wife have been to your home a number of times for dinner and your children all attend the same private school. 

He begins to tell you about the declining sales figures,which you already know about because the preparation of those figures is your responsibility. You begin to get a knot in the pit of your stomach, somehow you know what's coming. Your mind begins to race and you don't really hear much of what he says for the next few minutes. You are wondering how you are going to tell your wife, your kids, your friends, everyone. Then you hear the words, "Sorry but we have to lay you off, today".

The next few hours are a blur, you don't really remember very much about it. You clean out your office, sign some papers and somehow find the strength not to sit down and cry. You get home early which is kind of strange, usually you get home an hour or so after your wife. You're not sure how you're going to tell her you were laid off. You just sit and contemplate the future. Finally she gets home, almost two hours late. She bursts through the door her hands clutching 3 or 4 shopping bags, she looks really excited. "Look honey, I got a few more things for our vacation." Your heart sinks and you blurt out "I was laid off today". The room grows silent, you just look at each other. Finally she asks what happened. You tell her and then both of you begin to cry.

After a few minutes, your wife who has always been the practical one, says that you have to cancel your vacation first thing tomorrow. The next morning you go to the travel agents' office to cancel your vacation then you get some more devastating news. You have already paid for your vacation and you can't cancel it. Your travel agent tells you to get in contact with your travel insurance company and tell them you were laid off and the cancellation benefit should refund the pre-paid portion of your trip.

Problem is you didn't buy any travel insurance at all, you have no trip cancellation insurance or cancellation benefits, you didn't even think about it.

Guess what? The money for your dream vacation is non-refundable, you have no trip cancellation insurance and you and your wife can't justify spending all of the additional money it will take if you go on the trip. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Of course, in the long run your life will be just fine but you have learned a really valuable lesson. For the price, the right kind of travel insurance is a really intelligent purchase.

African Safari Vacation Tips

An African safari vacation for many of us, is a once in a lifetime holiday. Believe it or not, there are professional safari vacationers who make the pilgrimage to this mighty continent on a regular basis.

shoe carnival store

A safari in Africa vacation isn't just a matter of jumping on a plane and heading off into the magnificent African sunset. There is a little preparation to be done and we will look at some of the main requirements you need to include in your checklist before calling for a cab.

SHOE CARNIVAL

Check The Weather

Weather conditions will have a big bearing on how enjoyable your holiday will be. You want to avoid the wet season if possible. As far as the heat is concerned it may be a little more bearable than spending all your time battling wet weather.

This is an area you should discuss with a travel agent. It's one of the first things I look at when I travel overseas and believe me, it can make a huge difference to your enjoyment factor. A travel agent is usually qualified enough to know when it's when or dry in most other countries.

Personal Care

Again, very important when taking an African safari vacation. Everything from clothing to sunburn cream should be on your checklist.

Clothing is interesting. I hope you are not one of those people who like to pack the entire wardrobe? Well, forget it! The last thing you need when on safari in Africa is to be lugging around heavy luggage. Travel light was the advice given to me several years ago and it was very good advice.

Light clothing is a must but don't forget to pack a sweater or jumper because if you are staying out in the wilderness then yes, the temperature can drop. Leave the dancing shoes at home and pack a solid set of walking shoes.

Personal care items such as sunburn cream and lip protection are essential. If you are on medication set up an appointment with your doctor and make sure you will have sufficient supplies to see you through the trip. While on the subject of medication, check with your travel agent on exactly what you can and cannot take to another country.

Your doctor's visit should also include an examination to make sure you are in a good healthy state.

Personal information such as passports should be up-to-date. It would certainly be no fun to get hauled in by airport security over not having your immigration papers up to speed.

Once again, your travel agent is your first African safari vacation guide. They will have the answers you need. Good preparation should ensure your adventure gets off to a good start.

Planning For a Caribbean Cruise Vacation - Making the Most of a Romantic Experience

A Caribbean cruise vacation would be the ideal way to relax and rejuvenate oneself. Or to spend quality time with family and love one. All too often, the seemingly perfect vacation can quickly turn into disaster as unexpected problems crop up or somebody's expectation is not met.

shoe carnival

The Caribbean seas offer a variety of scenery, cultural experience, fun and excitement. It is a favorite area for many cruise vacationers. The combination of the sunny climes, beautiful white sandy beaches and exotic tourist attractions is heady. There are 3 main areas, which the major cruise lines ply, the Western, Eastern and Southern Caribbean. The Western and Eastern Caribbean are easily accessible from the USA while many will choose a fly-cruise package for the Southern Caribbean.

SHOE CARNIVAL

Firstly, consult all travelling mates to ensure that everybody has the right expectation from the trip. Some may be looking forward to an adventure while other are keen on the historical stuff. Whether they are adult friends or your young children, make them part of the decision process. You can start by gathering information on the cruise packages. Assign some of these tasks to the young ones, they will appreciate the responsibilities. Read up on traveler's review, the cruise liner's website and finally consult your local travel agent. Your travel agent will probably be able to give you a discounted package, as the cruise business is highly competitive.

The next thing to consider after deciding on your cruise destination is to buy an appropriate travel insurance. This will prevent headaches over lost luggage especially if you are making a connecting flight. That is sure way to derail your holiday plan before it even started.

Almost everything is provided or available onboard the cruise ships but it will be prudent to pack some emergency supply. Below is a list of things to consider:

a. Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
b. Appropriate visa for the country to be visited
c. Emergency cash (Do not touch for the casino or shopping)
d. Credit card with PIN
e. Local currency
f. Currency conversion chart
g. Prescription medicine
h. On the counter medication for minor ailment like headache, diarrhea and sea sickness
i. Bug spray
j. Sunscreen, moisturizer, hat and lip sun block
k. Photocopy of your passport (in case your original is lost, it will be easier to seek assistance)
l. A separate photo ID e.g. driving license
m. List of emergency telephone number (Local emergency number should be available from the ship crew when making port calls. Have your local embassy or consulate contact numbers handy.)
n. Suitable clothing including warm clothing for night out on the deck.
o. Rubber sole shoe (Non-slip sole for ship use and comfortable enough for walking especially if you are sightseeing during port calls.)
p. Sporting gear (e.g. swimming goggle, tennis shoes etc)
q. A reliable watch. Preferably with dual or world time. (To keep track of time during port calls. You do not want to hold up the ship on departure.)
r. Alarm clock
s. Electrical socket adapter (for handphone charging etc)
t. Spare batteries and memory cards or films for your camera (you may be surprise at the number of shots taken.)
u. A small flashlight
v. Luggage lock
w. Duct tape (for emergency packing if you over-shop and killed your luggage bag)

What To Pack On Your Cruise Vacation

Bon voyage - pack it up!

shoe carnival

The chore of packing is a necessary evil of cruise travel. But paying attention to the details can prevent disappointment and can even give a certain edge to a trip to make it more enjoyable. Why not resolve this year to take your cruise vacation packing to a new level?

SHOE CARNIVAL

What to pack

Standing before a drawer and closet full of clothes figuring out what to wear for a cruise can seem daunting. Here are some ideas on what to pack.

Day wear

For warm-weather cruises, bring quality swimwear, as you're likely to spend a lot of time in or around the pool. For women, sarongs, cover-ups and sundresses are necessary, since most cruise lines require that you wear more than a swimsuit in the dining rooms.

If the ship holds an event requiring "smart casual" wear, you'll be fine in dress shorts, a skirt, or trousers along with a short-sleeved shirt or polo shirt. The rest of the time you can dress pretty much as you like. Useful accessories include flat shoes with a good grip for wet decks, sunglasses and a sun hat.

If you are going on an Alaska cruise or other outdoor adventure, bring hiking shoes and rugged clothes for the shore excursions. The key to an Alaska cruise is to dress in layers since the conditions can go from cold to hot to wet very quickly.

Evening wear

Most cruises will have one or two formal evenings a week. Men are expected to wear a dark suit or tuxedo; women should wear an evening dress (long or short) or a dressy pantsuit. Men can often rent tuxedos on board. For evenings that are less dressy, women can get away with silky tops and trousers. Be sure to pack a dressy sweater or jacket, especially for the newer cruise ships, whose air conditioning can be quite powerful. A pashmina wrap is versatile and provides an extra layer in the evening, and it does double duty as an airplane blanket.

Mix and match

Consider wearing outfits more than once. If it looks good and is appropriate, who cares how many times you wear it? Keep it simple and change your look from the waist up while wearing the same bottoms -- slacks, skirts or shorts -- throughout the trip. A scarf or bold jewelry pieces can change the look of a basic outfit. Other options include reversible clothes, which give many different looks for minimum packing. If you're concerned about running out of clean clothes, don't worry. Most vessels have self-service laundries along with valet laundry service for a fee. And remember, if you forget to pack something or don't want to do laundry, most ships offer a good selection of clothing, swimwear and accessories in their onboard shops. What you can't get on board, you can easily find in any port of call.

10 packing tips

If you follow these basic, common-sense tips, you can pack only what you need, safeguard expensive items and keep track of important paperwork.

Pack your airline tickets, cruise documents, jewelry, medication, eyeglasses, makeup, camera and computer in your carry-on luggage, not in your checked baggage. Also, bring photocopies of your passport and prescriptions in case these items get lost. Also put a swimsuit and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag. It sometimes takes hours for your luggage to be delivered to your stateroom, and you don't want to miss any ship time stuck in your traveling clothes. Pack your toiletry kit with small travel-sized items. Better yet, get small refillable bottles and bring your favorite grooming products. Pack heavy items like shoes and toiletry kit before packing the more delicate ones. Also, use shoe covers to pack shoes, and stuff socks, belts and other little items inside shoes to save space. Turn jackets inside out and fold them in half, then put them in dry cleaning bags. The plastic bags minimize wrinkles (which is why dry cleaners use them). Pack the bottom of your suitcase with trousers, letting the legs hang over the edge of the bag. Then pack the rest of your clothes, with lighter materials on top. In the end, drape the trouser legs back over the pile; they'll keep their crease and won't get a fold line. Bring an empty soft bag for souvenirs. Also, toss a few empty plastic bags into your luggage; you'll need them later to stash dirty or damp clothes. If you're traveling with your family, mix their clothes throughout each suitcase, just in case a bag is lost. Mark your luggage with bright-colored yarn or tags to make them easy to spot and less likely to be picked up by someone else by mistake. Also, place a copy of your itinerary inside each piece of luggage. This way, if your bags are misrouted, the airline will be able to find you quickly. Watch the weight of your luggage. Most airlines have a 50-pound limit; if you go over, be prepared to pay a hefty surcharge. If you are traveling to overseas, know that many foreign airlines will assess fees according to number of pieces and baggage weight. Baggage rules change all the time, so always check with your airline before you start hauling out the suitcases. Packing is a chore, but if you pay attention to the details, you can pack some of your cares away.

Bon voyage!

What To Pack On Your Cruise Vacation

Packing For Your Alaska Cruise Vacation

The sometimes extreme and always unpredictable Alaska weather will be a big factor in the success of your vacation. During your Alaska cruise vacation you may experience temperature differences from the 40s to the 80s (single digits to 20s Celsius). The days will be long, with the sun all but refusing to set, and people will be energized by the extra daylight hours.

shoe carnival

You'll likely encounter some rain, but there could also be weeks of sunny skies with no rain at all. You're less likely to encounter snow, but it is a remote possibility, especially in the spring. Weather plays a factor in what you need to pack, with the must-haves on an Alaska cruise including a raincoat, an umbrella, and comfortable walking shoes that you don't mind getting wet or muddy.

SHOE CARNIVAL

A swimsuit is also a must if your ship has a pool (sometimes covered, sometimes heated) or hot tubs. Even in the summer, temperatures in Alaska may not go much higher than the 50s or 60s (low or high teens Celsius), although they also may go into the 70s or 80s (low to high 20s Celsius). Having layers of clothing that you can peel off if the weather is hot and add if the weather is cold is the most convenient approach.

Important to Pack Items

What you choose to pack obviously involves a lot of personal choice, but here's a suggested list of some items that everyone should bring along for their Alaska cruise:

- A lightweight, waterproof coat or jacket
- Two sweaters or fleece pullovers, or substitute a warm vest for one
- A warm hat and gloves
- Two to four pairs of pants or jeans
- Two pairs walking shoes (preferably waterproof)
- Sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher)
- Bug spray (Alaska has 55 different kinds of mosquitoes)
- Sunglasses
- Binoculars (some small ships stock them for guest use, but none of the big ships do)v
- A camera, preferably with a telephoto or zoom lens
- Film (bring more than you think you'll need)
- Formal wear (with accessories) if your ship has formal nights (not all do)
- Semis dressy wear for informal nights

Some people suffer over what to pack for a cruise vacation, but there's no reason to worry. Except for the addition of a formal night or two, an Alaska cruise vacation is really no different from any resort vacation. And in some cases, it's much more casual. Don't feel you have to go out and buy "cruise wear". Sweatshirts, jeans, and jogging outfits are what is must used during the day.

Dinner is dress up time on most ships, although several have begun to offer more casual alternatives. And the small adventure type ships are all casual all the time. Generally, ships describe proper dinner attire as formal, informal or semiformal (the two terms mean the same thing in this case), or casual. There are usually 2 formal nights and 2 informal (or semiformal) nights during a week-long cruise, with the rest casual; check with your Alaska cruise line for specifics.

Formal, although the term has gotten somewhat more relaxed recently, generally means a tux or dark suit with tie for men, and a nice cocktail dress, long dress, gown, or dressy pantsuit for women. Informal (or semiformal) is a jacket, tie, and dress slacks, or a light suit, for men (jeans are frowned upon), and a dress, skirt and blouse, or pants outfit for women (the ubiquitous little black dress is appropriate here).

Casual at dinner means a sports shirt or open-collar dress shirt with slacks for men (some will also wear a jacket), and a casual dress, pants outfit, or skirt and blouse for women. Recently, a new term (country-club casual) has developed. This is pretty much the same as informal without the tie. For country club casual nights, dress as you would to go out to dinner at a mid-range restaurant.

Many ships offer dry cleaning and laundry services (for a fee, of course), and some offer coin operated laundry facilities. Check your Alaska cruise line's brochures for details. Using these services can save you a lot of packing. Lastly, don't worry! Packing should be a simple task. Pack before hand, around a 1-2 weeks before your Alaska cruise and make a checklist to make sure you have all your necessities to have a relaxing and amazing Alaska cruise vacation.

Cruise Vacation Packing Checklist

Essentials-In other words, without these you will be waving goodbye while your ship sails without you!! Your cruise vacation packing list must contain these items-

shoe carnival

1. Passport and visas if necessary and photo ID (drivers license)

SHOE CARNIVAL

2. Cruise documents and e docs or airline tickets

Will make your life easier for you to enjoy your cruise vacation-

Credit Cards

A sturdy document holder to keep you organized

Travel Insurance document

Health Insurance cards

Emergency phone numbers of relatives back home

First Aid kit including band aids, aloe, antiseptic ointment, bug repellant, suntan lotions, prescription drugs and some over the counter items such as aspirin would be advisable.

Sunglasses, Guidebook, money/language translator, cell phone, laptop if you need to keep in touch with the outside world

A waterproof holder for your cabin key, waterproof camera as well as video camera for those photo ops

Your favorite water bottle from home will make it easy to take to the fitness center and the jogging track

Straw beach mats and beach bag

How much clothing do you really need? Well, first that will depend on the length of your cruise. For the typical 7 night Caribbean Cruise you will usually need 2 sets of formal wear if you intend on dining in the formal dining areas. The rest of the evenings you can get away with business or resort casual wear. Don't forget change of shoes/bags and accessories you will need as well as your personal toiletries. Bathing suits are essential as well as fitness wear if you'd like to take advantage of the free health clubs aboard most ships. Good walking shoes, sneakers, sandals and heels for the late night clubbing.

Now if you are going to Alaska you will want to bring along some different items than if you are going on a warm sunny island of the Caribbean. You will want to layer your clothing as it can get quite chilly cruising along the glaciers. A water proof jacket with a zip out lining would be very nice to have along. Binoculars for whale and wildlife spotting. A good pair of hiking shoes would also be very helpful. Gloves, hat and raingear are all essential for Alaska Cruises. Sweaters, shirts that can be layered and jeans as well as kaki's to take along. You still need the suntan lotion and some bug repellant.

My best advice is to pack as light as possible since cabin sizes aren't very accommodating as compared to a typical hotel room. But you didn't come on a cruise to spend all your time in your cabin. Most cruise ships do not limit you to an amount of suitcases. The airlines still do that but a lot of people drive to the ports so that is why I mention this. However, since your cabin is where you will be storing your gear for your entire vacation, you will want to limit the unnecessary baggage and keep it to an acceptable minimum.
