Creator's Key Takeaways

You cannot accidentally fall off a modern cruise ship. The rails are chest high.

Do not think your phone is off limits. Customs Border Protection has the right to search your devices.

If an excursion is more than 45 minutes of driving from the port, you never go independent.

The ocean honestly isn't dangerous. Bad decisions are.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do not prop open your balcony door and cabin door at the same time.
✓Do not bring CBD gummies or similar items on board; cruise terminals are federal jurisdiction.
✓Never sit, stand, or lean on your cruise balcony railing.
✓Do not use household surge protectors in your cabin; use cruise-approved power cubes.
✓Always attend the muster drill; the ship cannot sail until every passenger is checked in.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Fear of falling overboard — Rails are chest high and designed for safety; respect them.
Phone privacy at customs — Customs can search devices; do not have illegal content.
Missing the ship — Avoid independent tours far from port; always be back on time.
