Creator's Key Takeaways

i'm going to tell you my secret to solving problems on a cruise that i'm absolutely sure will work for you too

finding an ally in the crew making their problem to solve and then letting them use the various levers they know will work was just so much more effective than battling with the front desk

this much smarter way of solving problems on any cruise i've got has meant that my kind of ingrained british reticent to complain is kind of kept intact but it works for me

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Find an ally within the crew, such as your cabin steward, to escalate your problem instead of going to the front desk.

✓Be friendly, polite, and respectful to crew members when asking for help to increase their vested interest in solving your issue.

✓For cabin issues, ask your cabin steward to listen and acknowledge the problem, then let them use their internal channels to resolve it.
