Being on a cruise ship can be a fun getaway. However, there are mishaps that can cause it to sink. Here are five tips to help you out in case that happens.
Don’t Panic
This sounds cliche but it’s an important rule because you don’t want to make any rash decisions that’ll do more harm than good. Additionally, you want to be focused enough to hear instructions.
Know the Layout of the Ship
It’s important to know the layout of a ship to help you find the safest parts. Additionally, you can plan ahead with your family for a central meeting place in case things get sticky.
Map Out Several Escape Routes
This is a good tactic to help you come up with backup plans in case things fall through.
Find the Location of Life Vests and Learn How to Put Them On
When you’re able to do this by second nature, it saves you a lot of time. Knowing the right time to put it on also makes it easier to maneuver in a time of seriousness.
Stick Together
While “women and children first” may have been a thing a while back, it’s just better to go together as a family. No person left behind helps to make sure everyone gets out safely.
