In this one I walk you through ten cabin habits that quietly put us at risk after 60, and the simple fix for each. We cover the surge-protected power strip that ships ban as a fire risk, propping the self-closing cabin door, sleeping with the balcony door open, the wet bathroom and high shower lip, going barefoot in the dark, storing medication wrong, overloading the outlet with a CPAP, your muster station and life jacket, the in-cabin safe, and the clear path to the door. It is all about setting the cabin up right on day one so you can relax the rest of the week. Watch to the end for the one thing to fix tonight. A gentle, honest note: cabin safety rules vary by ship and change, so follow your ship's posted guidance and ask guest services if you are unsure. This channel is general travel information, not safety advice.
