Spending your vacation on a Caribbean cruise is enough to almost guarantee a fun vacation. But there are a few simple things you can do to help ensure that your vacation goes smoothly. We've put together a short list of tips to help you plan your trip and create that great Caribbean cruise experience.

Most people think sun and beaches when they start packing for their Caribbean cruise. But look beyond your swimsuit when filling your suitcase. Even though you'll spend a fair amount of time on the beach, you will enjoy other activities as well. Pack some tank tops, shorts and a sundress or two. But also throw in a light jacket and one warm outfit.

Even the sunny demeanor of the weather can turn quickly. A small amount of planning can keep you from being uncomfortable. Don't forget the obvious sunscreen and dark sunglasses. As well as a good book, some tunes and a camera as well.

Medical attention is different in the Caribbean. Especially if you're going to be at sea for a long while. It's a good idea to pack extra medications for unexpected needs. Make sure to ask your doctor about any adverse side effects sea sickness medicine might have on your current prescriptions.

Remember that moderation is important, even though you're on a trip, don't push yourself. You want to be in good health to enjoy the trip. It's good to be prepared however don't over do it. Just bring what's important.

Think about how much cash you want to carry with you. ATMs are good to use. While it's not a big concern to be attacked by pirates, don't carry a lot of cash, this will deter pickpockets and thieves. However make sure you have enough to tip the staff on the cruise for shopping while in port. This again is where ATMs will come in handy. Paying the usage fees will be less painful then losing all your money to crime.

Make sure that you arrange to have somebody watch you house while you're on your trip. You will be able to better relax on your Caribbean cruise knowing that your pets and home are in good hands. Make sure you choose a person whom you trust. Make sure things run as they usually do. Do not cancel any regular services you usually use.

Keep in mind diverse weather while packing, be cognizant of the amount of cash you carry with you and have your home watched by a trusted person.
