Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for K&J Polte.

  1. Check the reception desk to see the gym class schedule.

  2. Visit the art gallery during sea days as they are not allowed to be open on port days.

  3. Use the art auctions on the stage to buy pieces for a little bit cheaper.

  4. If you want to do any kind of jumping in the crew gym, maybe go to the guest gym because the ceiling is low.

  5. If you are using the laundry, be fast to change your laundry or someone might move your items.

  6. Work in chunks when packing to avoid moving everything at once.

  7. Try Scottish snacks with tea to enhance sweetness.

  8. Don't judge snacks by their smell alone.
