Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't need my room turned down every day I forgot to sign on the door and had someone come in when we were showering

the amount of scooters for lazy people

I feel a base gratuiti should be including included in the cruise fair then if your waiter or room attendant does a great job and you feel they deserve more you can give them more

stop saving chairs at the pool when you won't be there for hours

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Be empathetic towards scooter users as they may have invisible disabilities
โœ“Consider paying gratuities in cash to recognize good service
โœ“Avoid saving chairs for hours if you won't be using them
