Creator's Key Takeaways

When you board on imbarcation day and walk into your cabin, that room was occupied by someone else just hours ago, sometimes mere minutes ago.

Lock your balcony door every time you leave the cabin. Every single time. No exceptions.

Don't use it. I'm completely serious. This isn't coffee snobbery about quality.

Your cabin steward is genuinely your secret weapon for having a better cruise experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pack disinfecting wipes and wipe down high-touch surfaces upon entering your cabin.
โœ“Lock your balcony door every time you leave the cabin.
โœ“Use alternative charging locations instead of overwhelming the desk.
โœ“Avoid using the cabin coffee maker; get coffee from the buffet or ship's cafe.
โœ“Use the safe for valuables instead of hiding them around the cabin.
โœ“Adjust ceiling air vents to control cabin temperature for better sleep.
