Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't think I've ever had a bad cruise. I've had something go wrong here, something go wrong there.

Chair hogs people that that save seats which Paul believe he was talking about I think about by poolside which is bad.

The number of people that try to get into the pools and hot tubs... it's taking the fun out of it.

Elevator etiquette... it really only came in only became a problem for me when I went with my uh daughter and the kids.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Open your mind to other cultures and languages when cruising.
✓Arrive early or late to avoid crowded pools and hot tubs.
✓Be considerate when saving seats in theaters or at shows.
