Creator's Key Takeaways

embarkation is really just a fancy term for the process of getting on the ship

the steward is the person that attends to your state room so that's going to be the person that cleans your stateroom

the mustard drill think of it as safe safety drill think of it as the you know that 3-minute presentation

the term MDR uh for the longest time I didn't know what MDR was all that stands for is the main dining room

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Tip the porter $2 to $3 per bag for luggage handling
✓Give your room steward extra tip early in the cruise for better service
✓Attend the mustard drill as it's mandatory and they scan IDs
✓Check the daily schedule to find out what night is formal night
✓Order as much as you want in the main dining room
