Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 10 cruises just this year alone, and I am still seeing these things happen on every single sailing.

Cruise ships are not as safe as people think. There are pools, their stairs, their railings, their hot tubs, and there are thousands of strangers.

When somebody's late, it's not just the tour guide waiting, it's everybody else in the group.

The smoked would drift right into our cabin when we opened the balcony. So, it literally kept us from being able to use our balcony for the entire cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Keep an eye on children, especially in pool decks or buffets.
✓Respect adults-only areas and keep kids out of them.
✓Set alarms and arrive on time for shore excursions.
✓Use designated smoking areas instead of smoking on balconies.
✓Keep music and conversations at a reasonable volume on balconies.
✓Avoid using speakerphone in public areas.

Cruise ships are supposed to be relaxing… but lately, some behaviors are making cruises a lot less enjoyable for everyone onboard. 😬 After sailing on multiple cruises this year alone, I kept seeing the same etiquette issues pop up again and again — and clearly, they’re not as “common sense” as we might think. In this video, I’m breaking down the cruise etiquette mistakes that annoy other passengers the most, including one that’s guaranteed to spark debate in the comments. Some of these habits affect safety. Others impact shared spaces, relaxation, or basic courtesy. And a few? Let’s just say they might surprise you. This isn’t about shaming anyone — it’s about helping cruisers avoid becoming that passenger without realizing it. If you’re cruising soon (or cruise often), this video will help you: • Avoid unintentional etiquette mistakes • Understand what frustrates fellow cruisers • Navigate shared spaces more respectfully • Enjoy a smoother, more relaxing cruise experience 👉 Do you agree with all of them?
