Do you have a favorite fruit on board tropical sailings?

Lychee - my favorite fruit of the trip - they contain a high level of antioxidants like potassium, copper, and vitamin C.

Did you know that when you sail on Windstar Cruises that they are the only cruise line with an open bridge - with the exception of docking or anchoring the ship, passengers are welcome on the bridge and can chat with the crew.

Today Heather and I were able to tour the bridge with the second officer of the Star Breeze. He showed us all the things and we sat there glued like homeschoolers on a field trip. Totally geeking out.

🚢 10 Things You Should Never Do on a Cruise 🚢

Skip Proper Research:
- Not all cruises are the same; choose the one that fits your travel style and interests.

Overpack:
- Staterooms are small. Pack essential items but keep it minimal to save space.

Forget Important Documents:
- Always carry passports, personal IDs, and cruise documents securely and handy.

Leave Valuables Unattended:
- Use the in-room safe for jewelry and electronics when heading out for excursions.

Neglect Hygiene:
- Practice good hygiene to prevent illness, especially washing hands regularly.

Overindulge in Food and Drink:
- While it's easy to get carried away with unlimited choices, moderation is key.

Ignore Safety Instructions:
- Pay attention to muster drills and safety briefings for emergency preparedness.

Assume All Costs are Included:
- Be aware of extra charges for spa treatments, specialty dining, and certain activities.

Stay in the Sun Too Long:
- Protect yourself from sunburn with sunscreen and hydration, especially poolside.

Fail to Plan Shore Excursions:
- Book excursions in advance to ensure availability and better pricing.
