So this is my one stop post on things to bear in mind while travelling on boats for short distances or overnight. So here is my boat travel checklist;
- Travel sickness tablets, even if nothing else has turned your stomach over before taking them with you just in case.
- Check the currency used on the boat if travelling internationally. You don’t want to get stung on poor exchange rates on the ship.
- Check out facilities on the boat before you completely settle into your room. This is important just in case to need any help.
- Only raid the minibar if you know the cost of the items provided.
- Ask about upgrades; you never know what might be available.
- If you’re making an overnight stop, bring your food. It will be so much cheaper that way, and you won’t be eating nasty fast food.
- Take everything you need out of your car because you can’t go back to get anything.
- Drinks especially alcohol is pricey! Take your own, trust me.
- Pick up the free maps from on the ship; if we haven’t on our ways to Amsterdam, we would have missed out on loads.
- Sleep when you can, especially on an overnight boat.
- Enjoy staring out into the abyss! Hehe
