Creator's Key Takeaways

Over the years, we have had a few chats with security as we were learning the dos and don'ts of different cruise lines.

If you're found to be in violation, one possible outcome is being escorted off the ship at the next port of call with no refunds for the missed portion of your cruise.

They're usually ex-military and come from some of the most highly trained special forces and security units throughout the world.

While enjoying drinks on board is part of the cruise experience, excessive alcohol consumption leading to disruptive or offensive behavior can get you into hot water.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Know your alcohol limits to prevent public intoxication.
✓Do not steal or vandalize property on the ship.
✓Do not tamper with safety equipment or enter restricted areas.
✓Leave candles, incense, surge protectors, sharp objects, irons, drones, and perishable food at home.
