Creator's Key Takeaways

cruises are very welcoming type of vacation but there are definitely some traditions and even unwritten rules that you should be aware of before you step foot on board

you can order as much food as you want from that menu and you can and quite frankly should feel free to order as much as you want

you can be reseeded upon requests if this isn't working for you all you need to do is speak to the headwaiter and request a table change

do not bring your own towels there's really no reason for it it's just gonna take up space and you can't clean them anyway

Creator's Tips & Advice

Order as much food as you want in the main dining room; it's included and encouraged.
Leave beach towels at home; use the ship's towels and return them before disembarking.
Get to the pool deck early before 11 a.m. to secure a chair on sea days.
Bring your passport on shore excursions to be prepared for unexpected situations.
