    Cruise Etiquette – Part 1

    A cruise ship is like a small city or village. If someone wants to have the great value or experience of their cruise vacation, it is very important to know about certain rules of  social behavior. Thus, here are seven rules of etiquette that will help you and your cruise passengers to take full advantage of your cruise vacation.

    1) Be Quiet: These days, some of the largest cruise are home to as many as three or four thousand people at the same time. These people are in the vicinity. So, please do not  slam your door. This is completely unnecessary and will disturb hundreds of passangers.

    2) Be Respectible: When you board the cruise ship, make sure you are good to wear at all times. This means dress smartly when in public places of the ships and don’t walk around wearing next to nothing.

    As a general rule, imagine that you go home. If you would not wear in that manner such a restaurant or casino or pool, then don’t think that you can get away with it just because your on a cruise ship. Yes, I know it’s your temporary home, but it’s also the temporary home of two or three thousand others.

    Also keep in mind that many different cultures and nationalities, it can be significantly different views on what is not respected. So make sure that you follow the on board dress code at all times.

    3) Be Sensible: you’re on holiday, you wan to have a great vacation, but don’t go crazy with the amount of food or drink that you consume. Nobody likes a drunk and nobody wants to see someone vomiting because they’ve overeaten. And you’ll miss much of the enjoyment of your cruise if you spend your time feeling ill or in the ship hospital with an drink related injury.

    4) Be Considerate: If you are dissatisfied with certain aspects of the cruise, take your complaint to the appropriate member of staff and leave it there. Don’t spoil everyone else’s vacation by going on and on about everything that irritates you.

    So, your expectations are not met! That’s no excuse to bore everyone else with endless stories of how your toilet won’t flush and how your toast was cold three mornings ago and how the weather isn’t as good as it should be. Register your complaint and let everyone else enjoy their holiday.
