Taking your first cruise or looking to refine your onboard manners? Understanding cruise etiquette ensures you, and those around you, experience a smooth and enjoyable vacation at sea. While cruise lines publish plenty of policies, some of the most important rules are unwritten. Knowing these 13 etiquette tips can make all the difference between being a courteous traveler and an accidental nuisance.
Common courtesies like not reserving loungers with towels, respecting elevator space, and dressing appropriately for different venues show fellow passengers you care about their experience too. Remember, cabin hallways are not playgrounds, and late-night noise carries easily through walls. It’s also important to wash hands frequently, observe dining room protocols, and be patient with cruise staff, especially during busy embarkation or disembarkation times.
Respecting time is another unwritten rule all cruise-goers should know. Arrive promptly for shore excursions and scheduled events so the ship and your fellow travelers are not waiting on you. A smile, a kind word, and a spirit of cooperation can go a long way, whether you are sharing an elevator or spot in line at the buffet. Please contact Dan and Shawna for all your travel needs.
