Wouldn't it be awful if you return to the port after a fun day a short only to realize that your ship departed 30 minutes before
if you decide to cram your entire family of four in a stateroom to save some money just to end up tripping over each other and arguing the whole time
if you show up with one on embarkation day it will be confiscated by the cruise line and held until you disembark
if you are caught smoking in your cabin a cleaning fee will be charged to your onboard account and they can often be pretty high charges
