Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're in it, you're fine. You don't have to worry about taking it up for too long as long as you're enjoying it.

Nobody else wants to hear your music. I don't care if you think you have the best taste in the world.

Stay to the right side of the ship as much as possible. That way when you're walking down the hallway, you know, following the rules of the road, basically.

Don't overthink it. I say as someone who overthinks everything. Um, you're going to do great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Find a quiet, comfy place to sit by the pool and enjoy yourself.
✓Use headphones instead of Bluetooth speakers in public spaces.
✓Stay to the right in hallways and step into doorways to let others pass.
✓At the buffet, find a seat first if traveling with others, and wash hands with soap and water.
✓Ask staff for help if you're lost or unsure.
