Creator's Key Takeaways

relationships between crew members and passengers so this is by far the most forbidden rule when you are a crew member on board is do not fraternize with the passengers

the data shows that between 20 to about 26 people go overboard every year and this is due to suicide

auto gratuity is on pretty much everything when you have a massage when you buy a coffee if you go out for dinner at one of the speciality restaurants

the lifeboats don't actually work if the ship is listing so listing means that the ship is tipped to one side

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give cash tips directly to crew members for exceptional service
Be aware that cruise lines can change itineraries without explanation
Be nice to all crew members as they can help with requests
