Top 5 Tips for cruising!

Welcome, fellow travelers! Myself and my husband Anthony, we embarked on a dream world cruise with P&O Arcadia in 2025. We've gathered a wealth of experience and are thrilled to share our travel tips, highlights, and insights on what to avoid, all tailored for the over 50 adventurer.

 

Tip 1 - Night lights that are triggered by motion are your best friend. Find them on our shopping page.https://amzn.to/4twztvX 

Tip 2 - Dr Beckmann washing sheets reduces the need to pack masses of underwear. https://amzn.to/3QIBIxr 

Tip 3 - Towel clips are a must for those windy days by the pool. https://amzn.to/41XeTbR 

Tip 4 - Thank you notes to include a tip to your server or room attendant saves the awkwardness of handing cash over. https://amzn.to/48kR4hK 

Tip 5 - Cruise TVs are not the most modern, if you want to stream from your tablet or phone then you will need a HDMI cable https://amzn.to/4d33MEq and a docking adapter.https://amzn.to/4cLpJGK 



 

Navigate the globe with confidence

Whether you're planning your first world cruise or your fifth, our insights are designed to make your journey easier and more enjoyable. From packing essentials to navigating different cultures, we've got you covered.

TOP TIP if you are departing from your home country but flying home then seriously think about taking cardboard boxes.  Fill them with all the items you will not be bringing home, suntan cream, toiletries, books, sweets etc.  Just collapse the box and hand it to your cabin steward to dispose of rather than pull too many suitcases home.
