Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're 15 minutes late, the ship will leave without you.

Codes help the crew communicate emergencies without sending passengers into a full-blown panic.

Sometimes the best shore excursion is no shore excursion.

Cruise calories don't count. That's not science, but it should be.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always keep your watch on ship time, not local time.
✓Do a quick sweep of your room for hidden cameras, especially TVs, mirrors, and air vents.
✓Take smaller portions at the buffet and go back for seconds to avoid waste.
✓Always sanitize or wash your hands before using the buffet.
