Creator's Key Takeaways

You never want to be that guy. That's always my mantra on a cruise. Just don't be that guy.

Respect the dress code, but there's suggestions. Don't overthink it.

You definitely want to communicate that. They're very good about it.

It's good to try food and actually I think it's really the best place to try new foods cuz there's very little risk involved.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't be late for dinner; if you're more than 20 minutes late, seek alternatives.
✓Respect the dress code but don't overthink it; suggestions are not strict rules.
✓Tell your waiter if you need a faster meal; communicate ahead of time.
✓Order food to try new items, but avoid being wasteful.
✓You can take food to go from the dining room; ask for to-go containers.
