Creator's Key Takeaways

The truth is, a long list of those so-called perks are already included in what you paid.

This is the kind of thing seasoned cruisers ask for on day one and first timers find out about on the very last night.

People spend hundreds of dollars on spa treatments that started as a free trial because they never thought to ask before booking.

The worst answer you'll ever get is no. But when it's yes, you're standing on the bridge of a massive ship, watching the ocean open up ahead of you, and that's not something you forget.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ask your cabin attendant for a bathrobe, slippers, or outdoor blanket.
✓Request a pillow menu or mattress topper for better sleep.
✓Fill out the room service breakfast card before midnight.
✓Ask about complimentary thermal suite access on embarkation day.
✓Inquire at guest services about exclusive ship tours or events.
✓Request wine glasses from your cabin attendant or any bar.
