I went out with my complimentary Ro service coffee ready for a little bit of peaceful time on my balcony

I'm outside it's sometime after 7 a.m. the sun is glowing over the Lush landscape of Amber Cove in Dominican Republic

unspoken rule number one is don't scream at other passengers from one balcony to another

don't smoke anything on your balcony now of course on most Cruise Lines this is actually against the rule

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't scream at other passengers from one balcony to another; use the cruise line app or visit in person
Don't smoke anything on your balcony as it disturbs others and is against most cruise lines' rules
Be quieter on your balcony in the morning and at night when others want peace and quiet
Check if your patio light is on and avoid disturbing neighbors who may want to sleep with curtains open
If something is really bothering you, call Guest Services or cruise ship security instead of confronting others

YouTube Video Description

Most cruisers make great neighbors, but some behave badly on their balcony! I woke up the other morning to something pretty annoying. My guess is that this person didn't know that cruise ships have some unspoken rules about balcony behavior & cruise etiquette. We're on a Carnival cruise right now & this happened recently. I'll share the bad cruise passenger conduct, along with more cruise etiquette do'd & don'ts all cruisers need to know. These are things not to do on a cruise balcony, that are in some cases unwritten rules. Don't make these cruise mistakes or be one of the most annoying cruisers. Whether you're a first time cruiser or a frequent cruise traveler, this video is worth the watch! 🛳 THE ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER 🛳 Get the Life Well Cruised ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER ($10 off for a limited time).
