Creator's Key Takeaways

if you go out for lunch if you go to a cafe if you go to a museum it is always worth mentioning that you are a crew member because they might just have a crew discount

if you look drunk then you are going to be pulled to one side you are going to be asked to take a breathalyzer test and you're going to be fired on the spot and there's no debate

if you're in Cozumel and you have to be back on board by 5 PM ship time and the ship is one hour ahead of Cozumel if you accidentally get confused and you go to get back on board the ship at 5 PM Cozumel time it's gonna be 6 p.m on the ship so you've missed it
