A few helpful hints to help you enjoy yourself in safety onshore.
- Be security conscious and take sensible precautions. Always pack your own luggage and don't leave it unattended.
- Obey the local law – remember that the laws and procedures which apply are those of the country you are in, not your home country.
- Dress and behave conservatively, in accordance with local customs and sensitivities.
- Always swim at safe beaches and only participate in snorkelling or scuba activities if you have received training. Do not scuba within 24 hours of flying. Never dive into water of unknown depth.
- Do not swim after drinking alcohol.
- When going ashore carry only the minimum amount of cash that you will need for the day. Leave your valuables and spare cash and credit cards in your cabin's safety deposit box.
- You must wear a life jacket for boating, water skiing and other offshore water sports.
- Check water sports equipment for quality and safety features.
- Booking tours outside of the P&O Cruises Island Discoveries programme is not recommended as P&O Cruises has not individually assessed tours outside this programme and cannot make any comment on the standard or safety of these tours.
- Passengers are not permitted to take food of any kind from the ship to any destination visited. During your time ashore, we recommend that you drink plenty of bottled water, avoid ice and eat well-cooked food only. Beware of uncooked food including salads and fruit that you cannot peel. The conditions and method of preparation of food and drinks cannot be monitored by P&O Cruises. With that in mind, passengers are advised that if they purchase or consume food at their visiting ports, they do so entirely at their own risk.
