Creator's Key Takeaways

The passengers people remember years later aren't the ones who tipped the most. They're the ones who asked their name and actually used it.

Reserving a pool chair at 6:00 in the morning with a towel and then not showing up until noon. This is one of the most complained about habits on any ship.

Most crew won't say anything in the moment because their reviews depend on staying polite no matter what, but it changes how quickly they come back to your table.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't reserve pool chairs with towels if you aren't using them immediately.
Treat dining staff with respect instead of snapping fingers or waving them down.
Take the safety muster drill seriously and pay attention.
Avoid entering crew-only doors or service corridors.
Listen carefully to waiters when they explain menu details or allergens.
Ask crew members their names to build a human connection.
