Creator's Key Takeaways

Some of these missteps can cost you extra fees. Others can get you written up by security.

No smoking means no smoking. Cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, even ecigarettes and vapes.

Don't open your balcony door and your main cabin door at the same time. It creates a powerful vacuum and things will fly.

Cruise cabins are flammable, plain, and simple. Even bringing candles or incense can get you flagged at security.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask your steward to remove mini bar items to avoid accidental charges.
Use designated outdoor smoking areas; balcony smoking is banned on most lines.
Use magnetic hooks or command strips for decorating instead of adhesives.
Don't open balcony and main cabin doors simultaneously to avoid vacuum hazards.
Store passports, credit cards, jewelry, and medications in the cabin safe.
Bring a non-surge power cube with USB ports for charging devices.
