Creator's Key Takeaways

The opposite of extra charges is not free, it is included.

Be prepared. On cruise ships, as on land, they walk amongst us, usually very slowly in front of me.

It can be incredibly frustrating when you tap tap tap and the damn thing has stopped working.

There are two types of cruiser when it comes to kids. those who don't have kids and hate them being on ships and those who do have them and hate them being on ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stop saying 'free' and use 'included' for cruise ship amenities.
Book adults-only ships if you don't want children on board.
Keep your key card in your pocket to avoid frustration.

YouTube Video Description

Ministry of CruiseTube: Letters I, J & K | The A–Z of Cruise Culture (Part 7) This is a CruiseTube Educational Film. Part seven of the A–Z of cruise culture — the indispensable guide for the man, or woman, about ship. If you want to understand the rules, rituals, regulations and realities of the modern cruise ship — and avoid rudeness, resentment and regret — you’re in the right place. In this episode, the Ministry tackles the letters I, J and K. We explore: • The difference between “free” and what you’ve actually already paid for. • The types of behaviour that separate seasoned cruisers from chaos merchants. • The eternal battle between ship-as-destination and port-as-destination. • The psychology of “just one more.” • The point at which cruising innovation becomes… questionable. • The small plastic rectangle that controls your entire onboard existence. • The curious confidence that only a drinks package and a microphone can produce. • And the great onboard divide when it comes to children at sea. No spoilers. No sugar-coating. Just cultural calibration for civilised sailing. Whether you’re a first-timer or a veteran of the buffet wars, this is essential viewing before you next set foot on deck. Join the Ministry. Mind your manners. And whatever you do… don’t be an I, J or K-hole. At sea, nobody can hear you passive aggressively sigh.
