  Traveling away from home can be, equally scary or delightful. On the one hand, it can mean leaving the comforts of home and security of knowing the area you are in. On the other hand, travel means getting to see new places and do new things. The outcome of a trip is often determined by the preparation and knowledge going in. This article has tips to help you sway the outcome of your pending travel before you set one foot out the door.
  
  Cruise
  
  If you are taking a cruise, bring a tackle box and use it to store your valuables. Most thieves are only interested in what they can quickly find and get out with. They probably will not think to look in a tackle box for valuables.
  
  Look into last minute deals with cruise lines. They are a often much cheaper than what they would be if you were to book in advance. The cruise lines are anxious to book their empty cabins and will give a great rate for the last minute booking. These can also be found and booked through travel sites.
  
  If you are going on a cruise, a great travel tip is to wear your room key on your wrist. It's not uncommon for thieves to take your room key if you leave it unattended for a few moments. Having the key on you at all times can prevent this from happening.
  
  If you've got a day ashore planned, why should you spend your time finding a place to eat and then paying a fortune for some food? Most cruise lines offer 24 hour room service. So before you disembark, have a sandwich and chips brought up to your room. You can pack it up and use it for lunch while you're out enjoying the sun.
  
  When you are traveling on a cruise ship, make an effort to talk with other passengers during formal dinners. Most ships will put you at a big table with some people that you don't know. Have fun and talk to everyone that you meet. You'll be seeing them every day, and you may learn a few things about the ship in the process.
  
  A great travel tip if you plan on going for a cruise is to purchase a room that has windows. A room with windows will provide you with a beautiful view of the ocean. You'll also be able to tell whether it's daytime or nighttime outside, which a room without windows can't offer.
  
  When booking a cruise, opt for a balcony room. They are only slightly more expensive, but tend to offer much more space and a gorgeous view. Just remember to securely lock your balcony door when you are finished using it, as thieves are known to jump from balcony to balcony to find an unlocked door.
  
  If you are traveling on a cruise ship, always use the stairs. There is an abundance of food on board the ship, so it can be easy to gain a little weight while you are on your vacation. Try to keep some of it off by using the stairs instead of the elevators. It will give you some exercise and help you feel a little better about all that great food you've been eating!
  
  As you have seen, traveling plans, while various, share many fundamentals. They just vary in terms of location, costs, activities, and more. All it takes to decide what will work for you is some research, browsing, and asking around to get the best deals so that you can focus on the excitement of the trip.
