Creator's Key Takeaways

After decades of cruising, I have uncovered secrets that cabin stewards have been keeping from us for years.

The real shocker, 90% of cruisers are doing at least three of these things without even realizing it.

I was personally a repeat offender of one of these until a steward finally told me the truth.

Cabin stewards apparently hate it when people smoke in their room.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give cabin stewards space while they clean your room.
Set a schedule with your cabin steward for room cleaning instead of leaving the do not disturb sign up all day.
Call room service or guest services to pick up dirty dishes and food waste instead of leaving them in the hallway or stacking them.
Don't use white towels to clean spills; call for help instead.
Report small issues in your cabin to cabin stewards early in the cruise.
