Rihanna and camp know how to make a hit. Ever since her first album came out in 2005, Rihanna has put out a new record every year since with the exception of 2008 when instead it was a re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad (retitled: Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded) which contained the new hits Take A Bow and Disturbia. December 2011 saw the release of her sixth record Talk That Talk.
With Talk That Talk, she continues her upward trend of improving upon herself. Immediately with one listen, this record is sonically superior to last year's Loud (read my review here), with more uptempo tracks and a varied selection of songs. Of course, having the list of producers she had for this record are the reason for this sound. Only two tracks from super-hitmaker Dr. Luke to make room for a few from Stargate and of course the man behind the smash We Found Love, Calvin Harris. Whatever happens, this album was made to produce hits and that's what's going to happen.
We Found Love opened Rihanna to a new sound featuring house and dance influences that is en route to becoming her biggest hit to date. The entire album follows suit to the progression of We Found Love. Strong start to a very promising recording but once it takes off, it doesn't really go anywhere beyond that. Not quite disappointing but you feel set up, wanting more but not getting anywhere.
Songs like Cockiness (Love It) takes a page from Katy Perry's Peacock with its not-at-all-subtle sexual innuendo but it is undeniably the hottest song on the album. Produced by Bangladesh, the guy behind some of the grittiest hip hop hits in the last decade including What's Your Fantasy (Ludacris), A Milli (Lil'Wayne) and Did It On'Em (Nicki Minaj), Cockiness is Rihanna finally oozing personality and owning this song rather than singing facelessly, which nearly all of her prior songs have been – very little personality. And Birthday Cake brings her back for seconds, even at just one minute eighteen seconds.
Much of Talk The Talk is sitting at the forefront of the coming year of music based on what 2011 brought. You Da One continues with pop's current obsession with dub-step, leading the way for what might be the next era in mainstream music as electro-pop and dance takes its final breaths for this era while songs like Where Have You Been and Roc Me Out are safe bets for hit-status should the music landscape change direction. Even the title track is reminiscent of Nicole Scherzinger's Right There from last year, should radio suddenly decide that's more of what they want. All bases are covered and Rihanna is going to have another great year.
Talk That Talk definitely has more hits than forgettable tracks and that's sure to keep Rihanna going for the next twelve or so months until the next album. Even if the album itself continues on the Rihanna trend of not turning into a blockbuster hit (she has yet to have a #1 album), the songs themselves will continue to define pop music for another year (We Found Love is her 11th #1 single).
It is alright I really hesitated to buy this album . I love 'We Found Love' but I hate Cockiness. I also don't like songs with N words in them even if it is ok for her to use it apparently. I miss when she wasn't trying to be so bad. Chris Brown fucked her over . Ick. But other then that it is not a bad album for what it is.

Matt Olson Named USTA Southern Executive Director & COO
Ron Cioffi | January 13, 2022
USTA Southern President & CEO Randy Jackson announced today that USTA New England Executive Director/COO Matt Olson has been named USTA Southern Executive Director & COO.
Olson replaces John Callen, who is retiring after more than 33 years in the position. Olson is set to start on Feb. 16 and Callen will step down the day before.
Olson has led the New England Section since January 2015. He was named New England Tennis & Education Foundation Executive Director in January 2019. Racquet Sports Industry (RSI) magazine awarded USTA New England with the 2021 USTA Section of the Year, citing innovation and the launch of a new parks program.
Well-known in the USTA community in the South, Olson headed USTA Atlanta for 12 years beginning in 2003. USTA Atlanta is recognized as the largest local tennis association in the country with more than 41,000 active players. He also served as USTA Southern USA Tennis Coordinator and Program Manager from 1998 to 2004 and USTA Georgia Coordinator of Community Development and Schools during the two previous years. USTA and USTA Southern honored USTA Atlanta as USTA Organization/Community Tennis Association of the Year in 2007 and 2013.
Olson holds two Bachelor of Arts degrees – one in Communications and one in Speech & Dramatic Arts – from Mercer University in Macon.
Jackson said, "We knew it would be a difficult task to find a replacement for John Callen. But we found an extraordinary leader in Matt Olson. He knows the USTA and has also extensive experience in heading up a grassroots tennis community in the South. We believe his well-rounded knowledge and focus on growing tennis on all levels made him an outstanding choice for USTA Southern."

Flower export firms get Sh10bn in tax refunds
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has refunded 70 per cent of tax claims by flower export firms, boosting liquidity for the agricultural producers amid cash flow challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kenya Flower Council chief executive Clement Tulezi said its members had received Sh10 billion owed to them in tax refunds by the state.
"At least from the exporters of cut-flowers, they were paid 70 per cent of what the government owed them, and that has continued to flow," he said.
This comes at a time when Kenya's flower orders at the Royal FloraHolland's auction in the Netherlands has dropped by 20 per cent as European countries shifted priority to essential items such as food amid fresh lockdown due to resurgence in Covid-19 infections.
Orders from the US, France, Germany and the UK have fallen significantly, affecting performance at the key auction.
"If flowers are not on shelves, buyers (retailers and supermarkets) are not placing orders until they are assured they will be able to sell," Mr Tulezi told the Nation last week.
However, he said, they were in touch with the KRA to expedite the payment of the balance.
Sh10 billion tax refund
"We have harmonised the balances from our end with also what KRA is looking at. We are happy with the progress at the moment," he said. In March, President Uhuru Kenyatta announced a Sh10 billion tax refund for companies.
In a letter addressed to the Kenya Private Sector Alliance on June 12, 2020, the taxman announced that it had paid Sh21.4 billion value-added tax refund claims.
At the same time, a second wave of lockdowns due to resurgence of the Covid-19 menace is beginning to ail Kenya flower firms. Among countries that have resorted to the measure include Britain and France.
Mr Tulezi said direct sales to France would suffer irreparably due to the lockdown.
"The flower industry urges the Kenyan government to urgently engage the French government to safeguard jobs for thousands of workers who are likely to be the first casualties," he said in a statement.

LAWRENCE — Vietnam has made remarkable strides in recent decades, transitioning from widespread poverty to a middle-income country. While the nation has also made progress in promoting gender equality, it still has far to go in considering women equal and representing them as competent leaders in the media, a new study has found.
Oxfam in Vietnam, an affiliation of Oxfam International, a confederation dedicated to fighting poverty, commissioned a group of University of Kansas researchers to examine how female leaders are represented in Vietnamese media and how stereotypes are represented in news coverage. They found that men are cited as sources at a much greater rate than women, coverage focuses much more on female leaders' physical appearances and roles within the family, and journalists are influenced by their own biases in the coverage.
Hong Tien Vu, assistant professor of journalism, said an Oxfam in Vietnam research project from 2014 noted a declining number of women in the country's national assembly. The organization approached Vu, a former Oxfam communications coordinator and Associated Press reporter in his native Vietnam, and colleagues to find out more about the media's role in the disparity. Researchers asked voters in three provinces during the initial study who they would vote for in several races.
"Usually they picked a male candidate. When asked why, they said, 'Men usually have more leadership skills, and it would be very difficult for women because they have to take care of their families and it would be culturally and socially inappropriate for women to do that and be in leadership roles,'" Vu said.
When asked why they held those beliefs, respondents frequently cited media coverage. Vu and co-authors Hue Trong Duong, doctoral student at the University of Georgia, and Barbara Barnett and Tien-Tsung Lee, associate professors of journalism at KU, began their newest project with a media analysis of news stories about women leaders from influential Vietnamese media. Little media research had been previously conducted in the country. The researchers found news coverage of female leaders frequently focused on personal information such as their physical appearance and dress, and family issues, such as whether they spent enough time with their children, if they could balance family and work, and questions about who did the cooking in their households. The same was almost never true in stories about male leaders.
News coverage also relied much more heavily on men than women for sources. Even though women make up 47 percent of the nation's workforce, news coverage cited men as sources more than 80 percent of the time. Men dominated in sources in every field, even those traditionally associated with women, including women's rights, stories about elderly, and children and family issues.
To understand why the disparities were so prevalent in media coverage, researchers surveyed more than 400 journalists and conducted in-depth interviews with an additional 16. Respondents largely said they depend on men as sources more frequently because they felt that was what the audience wanted. When asked how they knew what the audience wanted, some cited data such as page views, but many others said they attempted to put themselves in the position of their readers. Journalists nearly unanimously stated that women should be equal in society and that the country needs to work on gender equality, but they also reported the same perceptions of men and women as leaders as voters had. They viewed men as more capable, confident, decisive, powerful and authoritative, and these traits have been stereotypically seen as needed to be a good leader. Women were viewed as more understanding, thoughtful, delicate, compassionate and sympathetic, but with poorer leadership qualities.
The findings show journalists are influenced by the same perceptions and biases as readers.
To combat those biases from permeating media coverage, the researchers made a series of recommendations. Among them was training of journalists. Many countries around the world include "women and the news" courses as part of journalistic training. That is not common in Vietnam, but teaching students how to equally represent genders could result in long-term change and improvements, the authors said. For working journalists, making a network of consultants available to work with news organizations in addressing unequal coverage and sharing ways to improve could be effective, as would incorporating guidelines on gender stereotypes into professional guidebooks and codes of conduct. Children's rights organizations have successfully consulted with media on similar issues in the past, Vu said.
Vu and colleagues presented their findings to Oxfam this month and will continue to produce scholarly publications on the topics. Oxfam will use the findings to produce a media campaign and policy advocacy for gender-equal media representation.


The Sneeboer Large Spade brings pedigree and reputation to the garden in equal measures - and whether you're turning over an allotment, vegetable patch or decorative border, this spade really delivers.
Forged by hand to a design created to suit the Dutch market gardeners of West Friesland almost a hundred years ago, the large spade comes with a solid ash handle and at the business end, a stainless steel blade complete with boot protectors for slicing through feisty soil.
I love the length of the shaft of this tool, I also prefer the 'T' shaped handle design rather than a 'Y', so this scores points over many of their rivals.
Order dealt with efficiently and on time!
This spade works with ease and you just feel that you are using a quality product. Never used a spade quite like it. I'm now replacing all my garden tools with Sneeboer tools.
Voted 'Best for Heavy Soil' from the six spades selected.

With 17 dining options, choosing a restaurant at Sandals Ochi can be a bit overwhelming (in a good way!). The resort has everything from authentic Jamaican food to classic French cuisine, southern Italian dishes to Japanese teppanyaki. Basically you can find anything that your heart desires, from anywhere in the world, in a range of formats from casual room service and buffets to fancy, candlelit restaurants.
This is a gorgeous outdoor dinning area featuring palm trees and tiki torches. It is absolutely beautiful, and offers the best island vibe out of all of the restaurants.
The food is authentic Jamaican, with a focus on the jerk style of preparation that the island is known for.
We started with Roast Breadfruit, Roast Sweet Potato, Sliced Hard Dough Bread and "Festival." Festival was my favorite, because it tastes like the fried dough that you can get at a fair. It's a party in your mouth! Ha.
I sampled the Jerk Sausage and the Jerk Pork.
While Ann tried the Jerk Chicken and Roasted Fish in Foil, another Jamaican classic. Of the four dishes, I loved the Jerk Sausage and Jerk Chicken the best. So delicious!
And look who joined us at dinner!
This restaurant terrace offers beautiful views of the azure waters of the Caribbean.
We went for dinner one night, and loved all of the seafood options.
Ann began with the Spicy Melon & Pan-Seared Tuna.
And I started with the Bahamian-Style Conch & Corn Fritters, which are served with delicious island aioli.
For her entree, Ann ordered the Oven-Baked Stuffed Squash.
And I had the Shrimp Scampi. We loved every dish!
For dessert I selected the Strawberry Shortcake, and it was beautifully presented.
This casual restaurant offers outdoor beach dining in a gorgeous location.
The must-try dish is the Jerk Cheeseburger, which brings delicious Jamaican flare to a classic American staple.
This outdoor restaurant is right next to the beach, so it's a perfect place to get lunch in between suntanning and water sports.
The best dishes are the Grilled Fish Soft Tacos.
The Sweet Chili Chicken Bites.
The Beef Sliders served with crispy pancetta bacon, jack cheese and red onion jam.
And the Seafood Ceviche Salad with shrimp, calamari, white fish and red onion in a cilantro-lime vinaigrette.
This restaurant offers delicious, fresh sushi in a gorgeous atmosphere.
Have too many restaurants to try and not enough time? Then I recommend heading to Soy for a few sushi rolls as an appetizer, then heading to another restaurant for a fuller dinner. Because you don't want to miss Soy! The rolls are delicious!
Plus, it has my favorite desert on the island. Fried ice cream!
Last, but certainly not least, of the can't-miss restaurants at Sandals Ochi is Valentino's. It serves authentic southern Italian fare, and has a menu so enticing that I would literally have been happy eating anything on it.
Most of the restaurants serve a specialty drink with dinner, and Valentino's had my favorite! It tasted a bit like egg nog – yum!
The Insalata di Pere e Gorgonzola appetizer is delicious. It has local greens, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, sliced pears and candied walnuts served with a house dressing.
The Insalata Caprese is also good, and the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with a pesto drizzle are presented beautifully.
The pasta is good here, of course.
As is the Pesce del Giorno, a pan-seared fish fillet with grilled vegetables in a tomato, caper and green olive relish.
Sandals Ochi also has casual food stations everywhere, where you can make your own nachos or grab a quick ice cream cone (or four!). Plus, for you lovebirds, there's always dinner on the beach!
The options are endless, and they are all delicious.
Thank you for the compliments! Have so much fun on your trip, you'll love it!


I'd like to discuss module rlm_rest and how it handles certificates.
I think parameter "ca_file" has a confusing name, and is not adequate for all cases.
This parameter allows to set curl option "CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT".
This is a file that contains one single CA, which is the issuer of the certificate provided by the remote server.
In the past I've struggled with this option as it seemed to behave differently between factory and production.
The answer was that on production they have a multi-level CA hierarchy, and were using a bundle of certificates, so it did not work (unless the first certificate in the file was the issuer itself).
IMO what we need is to allow to set curl option "CURLOPT_CAINFO". If this option is not set, curl will try to validate the CA chain using a default location, and it will fail.
2) Add support for option "CURLOPT_CAINFO". Maybe a new parameter named "ca_info_file" ?
3) Comment this in the rest module configuration example.
If you agree with this proposal, I can do a patch for 3.0.x.
In any case, I'd like to hear your opinion on this.

Q: Gnu parallel - run jobs on localhost (cygwin) and remote machines I am trying to get GNU parallel to split up a processing job between my machine (Win7 running Cygwin) and some remote machines (Linux).
But I can't seem to figure out the syntax to do both from the same command. I have tried using -S localhost, user@server1, user@server2 but (localhost) does not have sshd running, so this fails (the job does continue running on the remote hosts).
Thanks in advance.

A: From man parallel:
The sshlogin : is special, it means no ssh and will therefore run on the local computer.

I think the embroidery on the flowers is such a nice surprise. It makes them come alive. Great idea!
The barn is coming along. Very nice. I usually add embroidery to my pieces too. Thanks for the links too.
Like the over stitching/embroidery for the flowers!
Nice work Mary Ann. I think the embroidery on your flowers makes them dimentional, good choice.
And Jenny's pincushion and blog are beautiful and inspiring, thanks for the link.


I love lofts and apartments with industrial look composed by open spaces in which all the rooms are connected with the same style.
Nowadays it is really cool to live I a loft, especially for young people as this kind of places tend to be cheaper than normal apartments. Another reason why they like them is because this look is associated with New York cool people because artists on the 50s tend to transform factories in really cool spaces, customized in a very creative way.
But you don't need to have a loft to decorate it with an industrial style. We can make our place have an industrial look following some tips.
One of the things that characterized this style are exposed brick walls. You can transform your wall into an exposed brick wall or buy some wallpaper that simulates this texture.
You can also add different textures, patterns and colors. If you want your room to look more colorful, then use bright colored fabrics.
There are also lamps that fit really well this kind of style. Think about an old bar or a film production, that kind of lamps fit really well this style. If you want to make your room look more feminine, use a more romantic lamp.
You also need to think about the wall art. It is very important to put some pictures, frames and mirrors to decorate your walls. They can be vintage or more modern and minimalistic. These kinds of things are the ones that give your place more character and personality.
Do you like this style? Would you implement it in your bedroom?


Am I a provisional taxpayer?
Provisional taxpayers are people who earn income in addition to their salary/wage. If you get income such as rental income from a property or other income from a trade, you will always be a provisional taxpayer, even if you also earn a salary. Where you act as director of a company or member of a Close Corporation, you will also qualify as a provisional taxpayer. Certain thresholds are outlined below.
If you just earn a salary then you are a regular taxpayer and don't have to worry about filing provisional tax returns.
Regular taxpayers make their tax contributions to Inland Revenue via PAYE deducted from their monthly salaries/wages. Provisional taxpayers earn additional income from other sources and therefore the deductions of PAYE by their employer may not be sufficient.
The additional income you earn relates to non-taxable income, for e.g. dividend income or income from capital receipts.
Answer a couple of quick questions from Tim to find out if you are a provisional taxpayer or not.

Now I understand that being able to do learn quickly and do many things is as valuable as doing one thing well.
You may have heard me speak before about scanners (aka multipotentialites, mulirenaissance souls, people who are into lots of things), but today I want to share some tips from people who identify as scanners on how they create wonderful lives to accommodate their unique way of being in the world.
C. It's easier to do things if you don't make a production out of it. Don't try to plan a ginormous 200+ hour project. Just do _something_, some small part, for 5 minutes.
D. Uncover what it is about exploring different things that drives you to do it, and then think of ways to create value for other people while doing that. This isn't easy, and it's taken me 10+ years just to sort out what fascinates and motivates me no matter what the topic. Figuring out how to turn that into usefulness for other people, though… So far, it means getting to teach or coach others on what I learned. That also happens to fascinate and motivate me. It also means getting to the front of any trend so that I'm the first person occupying that space, such that I can lead it while it's still a new thing to other people. Once the area gets flooded with other people who have this knowledge or skill, I can leave it to find something else that's new and unoccupied and needs someone to pioneer.
Are you someone with multiple interests who loves to learn? Have you read any of Barbara Sher books? What have you learnt that helps you thrive as a multi passionate scanner? Let us know below!
Yes. You've identified it perfectly. That has been me, my whole life of 'scanning'. The benefits, for me, have outweighed the downsides. My brain is constantly stimulated and I haven't much known the feeling of boredom. As I get older though (already 60), I've been thinking that it's time to stop scanning (even didn't even know that this was a thing until I read your blog) and get on with teaching others some of my acquired skills.
Thankyou so much for reading Marie and leaving this comment! I am so GLAD you happened upon this post, and I thoroughly recommend that you check out 'Refuse to Choose' by Barbara Sher, a fantastic book for making sense of multiple interests and affirming that you are OK exactly as you are. She discusses the importance of passing on what we've learnt and gives great examples of different scanner lifestyles. I think we all have a need to feel like we are contributing to a greater conversation or helping others on their journey, and teaching, tutoring, writing, mentoring can all be great ways to do that. I wish you all the best for the next adventures!
What a wonderful and inspiring compilation of Scanner wisdom and experiences! Thank you for collecting this, Jade.
Personally I'm thriving on a Good Enough Job in consultation, using my empathy in coaching people. I'm doing this in part time which helps me taking care of the rest: writing, singing, writing songs, painting, learning languages, being with the people I love. And reflecting life which I write about on my blog.

Are you getting ready to set sail? Here are our top cruise tips to help you have the best time at sea.
There's nothing like setting sail on the open water for the first time. For first time cruise-goers, finally leaving the dock and gliding into the horizon is one of the most exciting moments of the trip! However, if you haven't done your research on cruise life, your next few days may be less than exciting. Sure, being on a cruise for a few days sounds easy. But if you don't do some preparation before you go, your relaxing getaway out at sea may turn into a stressful vacay in very tight quarters. Luckily, we've gathered some of the best cruise tips the help make this trip the best of your life.
While it can be fun to spontaneously book a ticket and go, we always suggest doing some research on your trip. And usually are happy that they did. From packing tips to advice on how to save money, these are cruise tips you'll be glad to know.
The first group activity you'll all enjoy together is watching the boat pull away from the harbor. And after that, most people are ready to unpack. But all rooms and cabins are cleaned and prepared on embarkation day. Therefore, your room might not be ready right away for you to settle in. If it isn't, wait until the cruise director makes an announcement over the PA system to notify you when you can access your room.
Because rooms are not always ready the moment you get on board, we suggest packing a light carry on. The essentials you will need in your bag include a bathing suit, and necessary medications, and valuables you do not feel comfortable checking. Additionally, make sure to board the ship with sunglasses and sunscreen.
Before you get on board, you will give your luggage to cruise employees at the pier. And the luggage is delivered to the cabins within a few hours of boarder. In most cases, you will receive your luggage before dinner time. But in some cases, luggage can be delayed. Therefore, you may want to pack another pair of clothes for dinner in your carry on bag, as well.
What Activities Will Be Available The First Day?
It can be a little frustrating to not be able to go to your room right away. And this can be especially frustrating to first time cruise goers! But once you go on your second or third cruise, you'll know the drill. And luckily, pretty much every other part of the ship is available to you the moment you step on board.
In most cases, travelers will receive a newsletter with a list of embarkation day activities and restaurants. This will help you figure out what you're going to do when you get on board! You can keep things easy and grab lunch, get a drink, or take a dip in the pool. But you can also go exploring. We suggest all travelers walk around to get a ship for the feel at some point.
You can make reservations for any shore excursions you want to take on the first day. And of course, the evening of activities will end with the welcome show in the main theater.
What Business Should I Take Care Of Once I'm On Board?
Taking a cruise is one of the easiest, more planned out vacations you can embark on. However, there is some business to attend to to ensure your cruise will go swimmingly. Take note as these cruise tips will prove to be very helpful later on. As we mentioned earlier, the reservations desk will be in full swing on embarkation day. If you are considering getting a massage or dining in a specialty restaurant on board, you'll want to make your reservations early. The best times for these events fill up quickly.
Here's where to go to get your bookings in: spa/salon services can be reserved at the spa, dinner reservations are made at your desired restaurants, shore tours are made at the excursions desk, and beverage packages are purchased at the front desk. Additionally, you can purchase passes for adults-only sun deck areas at the reception desk.
But that's not all! If you are traveling with children, then we suggest signing them up for activities at the kids club. Also, if you have any special requests for your room, then get in touch with your cabin steward.
It's My First Cruise! What The Heck Should I Pack?
Packing can be one of the most stressful parts of traveling. Whether you're going on a road trip or boarding a cruise ship, no one likes to pack. And that's surprising. You are about to be vacationing in the middle of the ocean while making sporadic stops are a variety of locations. That isn't an easy trip to pack for! So keep in mind these cruise tips as you get ready to pack your bags and set sail.
This is one of the cruise tips you'll be most grateful for. It should come as no surprise that quarters are tight on the cruise ship. Therefore your closet will be much, much smaller than your used to on vacation. And you will find there aren't many hangers to help you get organized. Therefore we suggest bringing a few extra to hang up your clothes.
Trust us, the tidier and more organized your room or cabin is, the more relaxed you will stay on your cruise.
Again, the space is going to be tight! So another one of our best cruise tips when it comes to packing is bringing a bathroom door organizer. Even if you're not a neat freak like some of us, staying organized will help you eliminate any unnecessary stress and anxiety on your cruise. Plus, it will make your room more comfortable to lounge in when you need a break from it all. And a bathroom door organizer will help make the room as comfortable, clean, and spacious as possible.
In addition to having a tiny living space, your room probably won't have many outlets. Therefore you will probably want to bring along a non-surge power strip. This will come in handy especially if there is more than one person staying in the room or cabin. And let's be real – it's not like you're just going to have your phone to plug in. Chance are you are also bringing along cameras, hair dryers, gaming consoles... Take note of our cruise tips and pack that power strip. You won't regret it.
If you are a light sleeper, this is one of the best cruise tips for you. Cruise ships squeeze on as many passengers as they possibly can. So don't be surprised if you are kept awake at night by someone snoring down the all. And if your room is near the ship's nightclub or engine room, there will be even more noise to combat. Luckily, earplugs can help you out with that.
We don't care what the weather channel says. Even if you're going on a Caribbean cruise in July, you will get chilly at night. It also gets windy. So at least bring a sweater or a windbreaker on your cruise. It's better to have too much than not enough.
There is nothing more frustrating than having your necklaces in a tangle. And like we said, staying organized in your room is one of the best cruise tips you can follow. Therefore find yourself a mobile jewelry case. Get one that separates chains easily to avoid any tangling than can occur.
This one isn't on your typical list of cruise tips. But you will find on embarkation day that there are tons of forms for you to sign. Get through this process as efficiently as possible by bringing your own pen. That way you won't have to fight for a pen from the hundreds of other guests on board.
If you're a first time cruise goer, the shakiness of the ship can be overwhelming. To avoid getting sea sick during your trip, we advise packing some dramamine. As always, it's better to be safe than sorry. And if you're looking for a more natural option, ginger tea is great for settling the stomach.
The above list of cruise tips was for a few miscellaneous items you didn't know you needed. Now, we will help you pack efficiently to stay organized and stress free.
This is not specific to cruise tips. Rolling your clothes is a great way to pack for any kind of travel. Rolling your clothes helps to save space in your bag. If you roll them tightly enough, it can even help to avoid wrinkles. And let's be real – your room isn't going to be big enough for you to pack that travel steamer of yours.
Like we said, there are going to be tons of passengers on board. And you will all be hanging your luggage over at the same time. Therefore, it can be easy to lose track of bits of your luggage. One of the best cruise tips we have to avoid any lost luggage confusion is to take photos of your bags. This will help provide visual evidence to the cruise staff as they search for any luggage that may be lost. And plus, it's never a bad idea to have documentation of your belongings.
3. Don't Let That Shampoo Spill!
We're all been there. That moment when you pull your favorite blouse of your suitcase just to find your travel sized bottle of shampoo has spilled all over it. Luckily, there are lots of travel and cruise tips out there to help avoid this. The best tip we have for that is to wrap your shampoo, conditions, body wash, etc. in saran wrap and tightly seal it in a ziploc bag. You might think the plastic baggie is enough, but it won't be. Trust us. We have had shampoo leak through a ziploc bag one too many times in our lives.
It's easy for your jacket (which you WILL be packing) to get dirty in your bag. But you can avoid this by simply turning the jacket inside out. By doing this, dirty shoes and smelly, worn clothes won't be able to stain it. Turning it inside out can also help to avoid creases in your jacket.
This is one of the best travel and cruise tips we can provide. The cruise line will typically staple a piece of paper with your name on it to your luggage. How else would they know which room to take it to? And though we have a ton of faith in the cruise employees, it's easy for a paper tag to fall off. So to help make sure your luggage doesn't get lost and gets to where it needs to be, put your name on a business card. Then put it in the luggage tag.
The last thing you want on embarkation day is for your luggage to be lost. So avoid unnecessary stress with this packing hack!
Again, those cruise guys are throwing around a lot of bags every day. If you have belonging you don't want to see broken or crushed, then clearly label that your bag is fragile. This will help ensure your bag will be treated a little more carefully. And it will help put your mind at ease while you're exploring the ship.
But if you have items in your bag that are truly valuable, we suggest putting those in your carry on. Or better yet, don't pack them at all. What good is your wedding china going to do for you on a cruise ship?
Whether you spend all day laying out at the pool or are out exploring the shore, you're going to sweat. A lot. And sweaty clothes means smelly clothes. To help avoid making your room smell like a dirty old sock, pack some dryer sheets in your bags. This will help keep your clothes smelling fresh. It will also prevent you from being too disgusted by the smell of sweaty clothing to step foot in your room or cabin. It's a win-win situation.
8. Keep Copies Of You I.D.
This is one of our travel and cruise tips you do not want to ignore. Keep both a physical and a digital copy of all photo I.D's. That includes your license, passport, and any other I.D's you find necessary to bring along. Chances are you will not need to use the photo copies. But if you don't pack them, you probably will. That's just the way life (and luck) works. Plus, having these copies will help you have some peace of mind.
Again, we're providing these cruise tips to help ensure you will have the most relaxing and care-free trip of your life. So do us a favor and make those copies. You won't regret it if you do. You will if you don't.
Dang, Cruising Is Expensive! How Can I Save A Little Money?
Traveling isn't cheap. And going on a cruise isn't, either. But if you're smart about it and doing some planning in advance, you can save a good chunk of money on your trip. Listen up to these cruise tips if you want to avoid breaking the bank while you're sailing the ocean blue.
We know we said that you should make all necessary reservations on embarkation day. But that rule doesn't apply to beverage packages. You can reserve a beverage package at any time during your cruise. And we advise no doing in on Day One.
Here's why: When you purchase a beverage package, you have to purchase the package for the remaining days of your cruise. So if you are buying a beverage package for embarkation day, you are paying for the package for seven whole days. So instead, consider buying drinks a la cart for the first day or two. This will allow you to compare prices and get a feel for how much you actually plan on drinking during the cruise.
Yup, that's right. Most - if not all - cruise lines allow you to bring wine and beer on board. So if you want to hold off on buying a beverage package until the second or third day, packing your own wine is a great idea. This way you can go through the beverages you already packed before moving on to buying a pricey beverage package.
But wait, there's more cruise tips to help save money and get a buzz going! When you are at ports, feel free to buy a beer or a bottle of wine at a local shop. Because this way you will save money and get a taste for local beverages.
That being said, it's wise to look up how much wine your cruise line allows your to pack. In most cases, they only allow a bottle of two. Still, bottles on board typically cost $20 at the minimum. So you'll still be saving a lot of money buy packing a few bottles of your own. And please, never try to sneak on more alcohol than you're allowed to bring. Just don't.
AKA the cheapest cabin you can get. While some cruisers like to hang out in their rooms and watch TV, the adventurers at Trekbible would rather be out on the deck. I mean, you can watch TV at home every day. But you can't sunbathe in the middle of the ocean any day of the week.
Booking the inside cabin on the ship is one of our cruise tips we highly recommend following. Not only will this help you save money, but it will also encourage you to get out of your room as much as possible.
It is great to have the convenience of booking shore excursions on embarkation day. But you can also book these activities directly through the booking company. And guess what? It will be cheaper than if you did it through the cruise line! But this is one of those cruise tips that requires some planning. Before you leave, take a look at what days you will be making stops. And of course, take note of where you'll be. Then you can look for shore excursions that interest you, whether the cruise line offers them or not.
Most cruise lines guarantee they will not leave the port without you. But if you choose to schedule your own shore excursions, please be courteous to other passengers. Don't plan your shore excursion one hour before the boat is scheduled to leave. Save money, but do it in a respectful way.
Unless there is a dish local to the port that you are dying to try, eating every meal on board will help you save money. Because you've already purchased meals for the entire cruise any ways, you might as well eat what you bought. But that being said, don't be afraid to treat yourself a little bit. Hopefully you are going to be exploring brand new places along the cruise. So it might be fun to try a dish you've never had before.
This is one of our cruise tips that we tend to be more lax with. Because while it's important to save money, it's alway important to experience new cultures. So if you follow the other money-saving cruise tips closely, then you might not need to utilize this one quite as much.
If you get on board and realize you forgot to pack something, don't panic. And definitely don't purchase anything at the shops on board. Something as simple and inexpensive as a tooth brush will be ridiculously expensive.
So if you can, wait it out until you dock at a port. Then, go pick up your missing toiletry at a shop on land. This is a great way to save a few extra bucks. And let's be real, saving a few dollars here and there is how you end up saving tons of money when you travel.
Internet packages are ridiculously expensive. And what do you really need them for, anyways? We already told you to get an inside cabin. And those rooms aren't a place to hang out in for hours at a time. Besides, what's the point of having your nose in your computer all day when you're out at sea?
This is one of the cruise tips we really advise our readers to follow. And it's for more reasons that saving money. Live in the moment while you're on your cruise! Trust us, you can live without Instagram for a week. It will still be there when you get back.
Cruising is a great experience. Make the most of your trip by keeping these cruise tips in mind.
Regardless of whether you follow these cruise tips or not, you are sure to have a great time. How can you not? You're about to be out at sea! For the next few days you have nothing to worry about but relaxing and having fun. But if you want to save extra money and avoid any unnecessary hassles, these packing and cruise tips can help you do just that.
Have you been on a cruise before? Are there are cruise tips you wish you knew before setting sail? Leave us a comment and let us know!
