Being punctual helps in ensuring you are not left behind. Unless you are on a ship-sponsored tour, the ships would never wait. Keep an eye on the time for everything, including shore excursions, scheduled dinner, or shows. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dress_Code_Check\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dress Code Check <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Many cruise lines have relaxed dress code policies, but that doesn\u2019t vouch for all of them. Certain cruises and their venues still enforce formal attire for evening meals or other special nights. Respect the policies and dress accordingly to avoid awkward situations. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shared_spaces_%E2%80%93_Share_with_Kindness\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Shared spaces &#8211; Share with Kindness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In a cruise ship, except for your private rooms, most of it is shared spaces where everyone can come in and enjoy their fun time. However, you must also be mindful of other travelers. Mentioned below are some spaces where you need to be additionally careful.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Pool deck chairs\/sun loungers<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Poolside lounges and chairs are for everyone, so only claim one if you are using it. Chair hogging, reserving chairs\/ loungers by leaving towels and disappearing, is one of the most hated behaviors. Please be kind enough and do not reserve any chairs if you are not using them. Know that most cruise lines will remove the item you have left within 30 to 45 minutes and make space for other travelers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Elevators &amp; hallways<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Corridors and elevators are mostly packed inside a cruise ship. Don\u2019t overcrowd the lifts; instead, if it is just one floor, make use of the stairs. Make sure that the fellow travelers exit before you enter an elevator. If you see someone with strollers or mobility needs, please be patient and expect delays. Walk to the right of the hallways and always be quiet, especially during sleep time.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Buffets &amp; queues<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Another shared space to follow basic etiquette is while dining and in queues. Cruise dining mostly comes with shared buffets and group seating. Never skip lines and wait for your turn. Avoid taking\u00a0excessive food that you don\u2019t intend to finish. In case you are assigned shared seating, try to be friendly with others. If it is very uncomfortable, politely request a different table. As always, no saving seats with items and bags.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noise_and_Consideration\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Noise and Consideration<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember, the ship walls are thin, and loud noises would create problems for everyone onboard. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ensure you do not slam doors and keep your voice low. In case you are chatting in corridors, do it quietly or move to other common areas. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Adhere to the quiet rule posted in the spa, adult pools, and everywhere mentioned. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Music is always fun, but do not blast music from your room or balcony and create a nuisance for other travelers. Instead, carry your earphones around for calls and jamming.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smoking_and_Vaping\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Smoking and Vaping<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Want to grab a smoke inside your cruise ship? Make sure you are only smoking in the designated areas. Be it cigarettes, vapes, or cigars, you are only allowed to smoke in specific parts of the ship. Disregarding these rules can be heavy on you and might even lead to fines or disembarkation. After smoking, ensure that you have carefully discarded the cigarette buds, since throwing them overboard is both dangerous and illegal.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559731&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kids_and_Adults-Only_Areas\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Kids and Adults-Only Areas<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cruises are definitely family-friendly, but they also come with certain rules. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Supervise your kids closely and do not tell them to run through the elevator or hallways since this can be unsafe and disrupt other travelers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ensure your kids are soft-spoken, polite, and kind to the crew. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Respect the adults-only area, and do not bring your children over here. The same goes for adults-only events. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember not to let your minors into cocktail lounges or serenity pools.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crew_and_Kindness\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Crew and Kindness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The cruise ship staff work long hours to make everything easier for travelers. Treat them with the same respect you expect in return. You do not have to make grand gestures, but even a smile or a thank-you note would be received with happiness.\u00a0Be mindful and do not order around; instead, speak to the department&#8217;s head or the guest service if you are in need of help.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipping_and_Gratuities\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Tipping and Gratuities<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Check your cruise line\u2019s policy before sailing and learn if the gratuities are automatically charged or are to be paid according to your discretion. Many cruises already include daily gratuity charges, which cover cabin crew and dining room staff, etc. You can also add extra tipping for great service. However, for shore excursion guides and porters, tipping cash is customary. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseparking.com\/blog\/dog-friendly-cruises\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Paws Ahoy!

These are never less about strict rules but are more about common courtesy to be followed while cruising.
