Creator's Key Takeaways

you're not going to those pools are for staff members only it's the private area

the average person on a seven-day cruise gains between 7 to 10 pounds every single time

cruise ships have morgues on the ship and not only that they have jails as well

you will never hear over the radio or the announcement system man overboard ever

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a sail away balcony instead of an obstructed balcony for a better chance at a regular balcony at the same price.
✓Be nice to waiters and strike up conversations; they may bring you a free drink as a guest perk.
✓Use hand sanitizers to avoid norovirus, which is more common on land than on cruise ships.
