Creator's Key Takeaways
I've spoken with several captains and I'm going to tell you exactly what it is, plus six other things they desperately wish you knew
One captain told me that this is one of the biggest complaints he gets from passengers on board
One captain told me that he actually had to kick a couple off the ship because they kept throwing things overboard outside their balcony
It's rather presumptuous that one group or family of passengers is going to ask me to hold the ship for them when everybody else found a way to get there on time
