5 Cruise Ship SECRETS, TRICKS & HACKS given by Employee!

Editorial Summary

In this video, former cruise ship entertainer Justin shares five industry secrets and one bonus tip based on his experience working aboard vessels. He begins by explaining that most modern cruise ships contain a morgue, typically located near the medical center to ensure discreet transport of deceased passengers. Regarding excursions, he suggests that travelers can save money by booking directly with locals in port rather than through expensive third party companies offered by the cruise line. To receive better service or potential discounts on drinks, he advises guests to be respectful and tip the crew members, many of whom come from developing countries. Justin also reveals that ships maintain a jail cell, known as a brig, to hold individuals involved in crimes such as theft or assault until the ship reaches port. He warns viewers about casino odds in international waters, noting that games like blackjack often feature less favorable payouts for players. Finally, he concludes with a bonus tip suggesting that booking cruises after the summer season or at the beginning of the year can result in significantly lower prices and less crowding.
