12 Things Cruise Ship Crew Do When You're Not Looking
Cruise ship crew secrets nobody tells you: while you sleep, the crew drains and scrubs the pools, hand-folds 29,000 towels, loads 600,000 lbs of food in 9 hours, and rehearses emergencies you'll never see. In this video: what cruise crews really do at 3 a.m., the hidden "I-95" crew corridor, secret PA codes like Oscar, Alpha and Bravo, the color-coded norovirus plan, hundreds of security cameras — and the two rooms on board no crew member will ever point out: the morgue and the brig. Smart cruisers use these 12 behind-the-scenes secrets to get cleaner water, faster cabin service, and better answers on board — without spending a dime more. Sources include the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program, SOLAS regulations, CLIA safety policies, and published cruise line figures. Prices, policies and procedures vary by ship and sailing — always verify with your cruise line. Have you ever caught the crew mid-secret?
