If You Take Regular Medication
Ensure that you have sufficient supplies to last the length of your holiday. It is also wise to consider taking a couple of days' extra supply in case of unforeseen changes in your plans. Remember to always carry your medication in your hand luggage. If you have recently received treatment for any significant medical condition, it is suggested that you carry a recent report with any important information from your doctor.
Motion Sickness
If you are concerned, you should purchase medication before you leave home. It is best to take the tablets just before sailing to prevent illness. Seasickness medications are also available at a charge on board.
Be Safe in the Sun
Avoid excessive exposure to the sun between 10.00am and 3.00pm. Remember 'Slip! Slop! Slap! Wrap!' – Slip on a t-shirt, Slop on high factor sunscreen, Slap on a hat (wide-brimmed is best so that your ears are protected too), Wrap on sunglasses. Wear a t-shirt to protect yourself from the sun while swimming. Re-apply sunscreen frequently after swimming or exercise.
Drink in Moderation
When you are ashore, be aware of the alcohol content of local and imported drinks. You are much more likely to suffer a serious injury if you are under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol.
Be extremely careful if you drink Kava which is a popular herbal, medicinal and ceremonial drink in the South Pacific. In addition to enhancing the effects of alcohol, long-term use may cause liver damage.
Avoid Biting Insects
Wear light coloured, loose fitting clothing that covers your arms and legs and regularly apply an insect repellent that contains at least 20% DEET.
Wash Your Hands
To help prevent illness, wash hands often and thoroughly and always after going to the toilet, before handling food and eating.
Pregnancy
We are unable to take on board any passengers who will have entered their 24th week (or later) of pregnancy by the end of the cruise.
