Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise ships are full of secrets the crew will never tell you.

Even with a beverage package, those mini bar snacks and drinks are not covered.

No smoking in your cabin. Period. That means absolutely nothing. No smoke, no exceptions.

Never, and I mean never, open your cabin door and balcony door at the same time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid mini bar charges by using buffet, pool bar, or room service.

✓Never smoke in your cabin or on balconies.

✓Do not tape decorations or use sticky hooks on cabin walls.

✓Do not take plush robes, slippers, or towels as souvenirs.

✓Never open cabin and balcony doors simultaneously.

✓Do not lean on balcony railings.
