Creator's Key Takeaways

All right. The last thing that anybody wants is to be the one person on a cruise ship that just seems to annoy everyone they interact with.

So, if you are stuck in the line to board the ship, pack your patience. It's everybody will get through it pretty quickly.

Don't sleep with your door open. Uh in terms of if you have a balcony door, let me sorry, I don't mean their your cabin door. I mean your balcony door.

So, just a little bit of kindness can go a long way. So, just keep that in mind.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack your patience during embarkation and busy times.

✓Use stairs instead of elevators on the first day to avoid crowds.

✓Be mindful of line flow at the buffet and avoid cutting in front of others.

✓Make dining reservations ahead of time to avoid long lines.

✓Respect pool chair saving etiquette and don't leave chairs unattended for long periods.

✓Be aware of noise levels in personal spaces and use headphones for phone calls.

Formal night dress code — Don't feel pressured to dress up; a suit or nice slacks and polo are acceptable, and you can go to the buffet if preferred.

Tipping expectations — Tip generously for outstanding service, but don't feel obligated if you can't afford it.
