Creator's Key Takeaways

Balconies are not soundproof. Yelling at your friends at nearby balconies, playing music, or talking loudly at night or in the morning carries farther than you think.

Kids running, yelling, pushing the elevator buttons or hanging out in the stairwell isn't just annoying, it's unsafe.

Buffets cause more drama than almost anywhere else on board. That's why I pretty much stay out of the buffets.

Please respect your crew. These people work their butts off to make sure that you're having a great vacation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Keep voices low on balconies early in the morning or late at night.

✓Talk to children about quiet zones in cabin hallways, especially at night.

✓Arrive early for popular shows or expect open seating instead of saving seats.

✓Don't reuse your plate at the buffet; leave dirty plates and get a clean one.

✓Use separate tongs for different food stations to avoid cross-contamination.

✓Sanitize hands before and after using the buffet.
