Creator's Key Takeaways
I used to think of myself as a considerate Cruise passenger trying to be polite and help make the crew job simpler easier and more pleasant but I've had to totally reappraise what I was doing
the crew cannot fix anything that they don't know about so he suggested stop being so polite and raise any issues
it's best not to draw attention if something has been done till at least the end of the meal so they then can build in they can negotiate any future similar requests with the kitchen
being too friendly was actually affecting her job and causing her unnecessary tension and issues

I used to think of myself as a considerate cruise passenger, trying to be polite and help make the crews’ jobs simpler, easier, and more pleasant. But I’ve had to reappraise what I was doing after a crew member discreetly told me on this cruise that I am on that some were having the opposite effect, and could get them into trouble with their boss, affect their ability to get a promotion, and even whether their contract would get renewed. Surprised by this, I asked the cruise director, waiters, shore excursion staff, guest services, guest entertainers and speakers, and of course my stateroom attendant, what well-intentioned things I was doing on a cruise that I should stop, and importantly be doing instead. The answers were eye-opening.
