Creator's Key Takeaways

Our first superstition. Well, I think the most popular superstition is No Deck 13.

So Asian lines will skip deck four because of the pronunciation and how close to death.

The banana thing originated from a Caribbean trade routes. So ships carrying bananas often had bad luck where their food spoiled more quickly than normal.

Whistling on deck was believed to whistle up the wind. And possibly bring storms.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid bananas on board due to superstition of bad luck.
Do not whistle on deck to avoid whistling up wind or storms.
Knock on cabin doors before entering as a superstition or courtesy.
