6. Be on time.
For your spa appointment or dinner reservations at the specialty restaurant and for your appointed dinner seating time for the main dining room. And if exploring a port of call on your own, give yourself plenty of extra time to arrive back at the ship. Ships take seriously the “all aboard time.”
7. What about tipping?
Many major cruise lines charge a daily fee for tips. These tips are added to your onboard account each day. The tips are then shared among the visible crew (dining stewards, cabin stewards, etc.) and also with those working tirelessly behind the scenes. Ask your travel agent about tips before you go. If they’re not included, you’ll want to be prepared with extra cash. It’s also a good idea to check your onboard account daily. You can do this either via the stateroom television or at the service desk. This avoids any last-minute scrambles to the service desk before disembarkation.
In short, whether your next cruise takes you to the Baltic, Caribbean or Mediterranean, these tips will ensure that your cruise ship etiquette doesn’t go overboard!
