Creator's Key Takeaways
Three things that surprise first-time cruisers.
One, you don't use cash on the ship. Instead, everything gets charged to your ship card.
Two, sea days. Cedays do not mean swimming in the ocean.
Three, the muster drill. Before the ship leaves port, every passenger has to do a quick safety check-in.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Use your ship card for all purchases instead of cash.
✓Understand that sea days are for enjoying the ship's amenities, not swimming in the ocean.
✓Complete the mandatory muster drill before the ship sets sail.
