Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise ships are full of secrets the crew will never tell you.

Even with a beverage package, those mini bar snacks and drinks are not covered.

No smoking in your cabin. Period. That means absolutely nothing. No smoke, no exceptions.

Never, and I mean never, open your cabin door and balcony door at the same time.

✓Never smoke in your cabin or on the balcony.
✓Do not tape decorations or use sticky hooks on cabin walls.
✓Do not take plush robes, slippers, or towels as souvenirs.
✓Never open both the cabin door and balcony door at the same time.
