Twelve cruise ship crew secrets: things crew know about how a ship really works, why the ship does it that way, and the one easy move that changes your cruise. These cruise tips and cruise hacks count down from the balcony door that switches off your air conditioning to number one: the cruise ship codes crew use over the speakers, what Code Alpha, Code Bravo and Kilo mean on Royal Caribbean, why crew use codes at all, and what you should actually do when you hear one. Along the way: magnetic cabin walls, what your stateroom attendant will bring if you ask, the free room service breakfast and its catch, the main dining room rule that changed on Norwegian and MSC, the green apple trick for seasickness, why port days are the ship's quiet days, why eight out of ten is a bad score in the cruise survey, who gets the first tender boat ashore, why your cabin may only be cleaned once a day now, and the time limit on Do Not Disturb. Policies differ by line, so we name the line each time; check your own line before you sail. CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:46 12. The balcony door controls the air 01:21 11.
