Creator's Key Takeaways

As I've taken more cruises, I've realized that it's well worth my time to have a check of 13 things whenever I arrive in my cabin for the first time in order to avoid problems later in the cruise.

I have had a few occasions where I've turned up to my cabin, I've walked through the door and thought, 'Ah, we booked this as a twin cabin but it's actually set up with a massive double bed.'

I took a cruise in the Mediterranean with Costa Cruises, and that ship was really, really busy. It was a huge mega ship filled with thousands of people.

Toilets on a cruise ship operate using a vacuum system, and they can be a little bit more temperamental than a toilet system at a hotel on land.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check bed formation and request changes from cabin attendant if needed.
✓Verify if suitcase fits under the bed for storage.
✓Test all lights and ensure lampshades are present.
✓Check hot and cold water in bathroom, bath, shower, and sink.
✓Ensure mini fridge is cold and request it to be emptied.
✓Test the safe to ensure it works with your password.
