Creator's Key Takeaways

I've personally seen people escorted off mid cruise for breaking this one.

Balcony cabins are not private. They're not. There are cameras on the ship.

Irons and steamers are just a big no no on the cruises. Most people don't realize that it causes a serious fire hazard.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't smoke or vape in the cabin or on the balcony.
Don't bring CBD gummies or oils on board.
Don't leave kids alone in the cabin.
Don't bring an iron; use wrinkle release spray instead.
Don't forget to read the daily newsletter.
