Always carry an updated color photo of your child with you. This will come in handy if they are ever lost. The idea of losing your child likely scares you, but not being prepared is worse.

If you drive to any port city prior to going on your cruise, you can find hotels that offer free parking upon arriving the night before. Ask the hotel's staff when it comes to parking deals even though none are published.

Especially if your allergies are severe, you should learn the names of the foods in whatever language is necessary. Then at least you can warn the staff and possibly get a quicker response for medical professionals.

If you are driving to a port city before leaving on a cruise, always find a hotel that offers free parking and arrive the night before. Ask the staff at the hotel if they offer any parking discounts even if they don't have any published.

Select a pair of shoes you will comfortable in and can remove easily for air travel. Understand that your shoes must be removed during security checks. They should always be comfortable.
