Creator's Key Takeaways

The first one is relationships between passengers and crew members. So, this is by far the most forbidden rule.

If you're only on board for 3 days, you're spending straight away, which means the cruise line is making more money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always choose an external investigation over an internal one if reporting a sexual assault.

✓Be friendly to all crew members as they can often help resolve issues through indirect channels.
