Creator's Key Takeaways

I think there are things you should definitely not be doing on a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Probably number one with a bullet are chair hogs.

Now, chair hogs don't bother me nearly as much as number two on my list, which is people who smoke where they're not supposed to.

I asked my wife about what bothers her and actually her number one thing was elevator etiquette.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get to the pool deck early to find a chair.
✓Do not move other people's belongings; avoid confrontation.
✓Use your hands only for bread or cookies at the buffet, not for other food.
✓Let people out of the elevator before entering.
✓Do not blast music in your cabin; use headphones or low volume.
✓Do not talk during shows; keep conversations quiet.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing to have SeaPass card ready for disembarkation — Always have your SeaPass card in hand when getting off the ship.
Registering kids for Adventure Ocean at the wrong time — Register kids on embarkation day afternoon during the open house, not at the start of a session.
