Creator's Key Takeaways

They're supposed to report guests who have items that they shouldn't, but they really don't want to because they're there to serve you.

They much prefer if you spill something that you call and ask for help and they'll gladly come and take care of it for you.

The room stewards are required to report this and it's quite obvious with the smell.

Cabin stewards are not allowed to enter your room or even knock on your door if the do not disturb sign is on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Call for help to clean spills instead of using towels yourself.
✓Do not smoke in your cabin; use designated smoking areas.
✓Arrange a specific cleaning time with your steward instead of leaving the do not disturb sign on all day.
✓Call room service to pick up dishes and food waste after use.

Cruise cabin stewards hate it when you do these "no-nos" in your cruise cabin. Cruise ships are floating hotels. Cabin stewards can't go home and they hope you don't do these things in your room. 🌴 Plan Your Cruise Like a Pro: 🧭 Book with My Recommended Cruise Travel Agent ➡️ https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101449107-11926423 🛳️ Shore Excursions Cheaper and Better with Viator ➡️ http://vi.me/xqeDJ 🛳️ Shore Excursions Group GUARANTEES You Won't Miss Your Ship ➡️ http://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/?id=1806165&data=garynancyward@gmail.com 🛡️ Travel Insurance I Personally Recommend ➡️ https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101449107-11454010 ⚠️ These are affiliate links, which help support the channel at no extra cost to you.
