He begins with safety concerns, emphasizing that passengers should never sit on, stand on, or climb the balcony railings to prevent accidental falls. The creator notes that smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited by cruise lines and can result in disembarkation. He also warns against throwing any items overboard, including rubbish or lighted matches, due to environmental risks and the potential for wind to blow items back onto the ship. Privacy is another major theme, as Bainbridge advises against nudity or sexual activity on balconies because of security cameras and the visibility of neighboring cabins.
