Cruise Passenger Safety - CRUISE S.O.S CARD
We've come across a web site we wanted to share with anyone about to go on a cruise. It's called Cruise S.O.S. and offers a wallet sized card with information that every cruise passenger should have with them at all times in case of emergency. You simply print out the card from the web site (it's free) and take it with you on your cruise. Then in case of emergency (such as cruise ship crime or passenger overboard, even a slip and fall) you have all the information and instructions you need to keep you and your family safe. The instructions are very good and we recommend any cruise passengers take this with them on their next cruise. It's almost like cruise insurance, but it's free.
Here's some information from their web site:
