Creator's Key Takeaways
After 19 cruises, I've noticed a few things that catch first-time cruisers offguard, and I want to share them with you.
They force you to attend a muster drill. There is nothing else on the ship that you are mandated to attend except for the drill.
They are going to force you to wash your hands. And that might feel weird because no one else anywhere else is going to hand you wipes or look at you and wait for you to wash your hands.
First-time cruisers might be surprised that there is a huge opportunity to gain weight on a cruise.
