“Unveiling the Secret Cruise Codes: Essential Rules You Didn’t Know Could Make or Break Your Voyage!”
They’re big, take up too much space, and no one really wants to see your giant flamingo float (no offense). So, at the end of the day, it’s best to leave the large pool floats at home for summer fun that has nothing to do with a cruise ship.
Socializing With The Crew Isn’t Permitted
Cruise ship crew members are there to make the vacation experience easy, relaxing, and fun for passengers. But there is a rule strictly prohibiting anything beyond a professional relationship between parties.
The crew is told to be polite and friendly, but passengers shouldn’t take their eagerness to help and outgoing nature as a sign of friendship. Royal Caribbean, for example, has a policy that says crew members are “not permitted to socialize with guests beyond their professional duties.”
Depending On Your Age, The Pool Might Be Off Limits
Depending on the cruise line, there could be some pool restrictions. One such restriction being people under the age of 16 aren’t allowed in the pool or hot tub. The rule is in place so the pool isn’t overly crowded at all times, since kids tend to keep swimming no matter what hour!
It might seem like a silly rule, but the rule is in compliance with the US Public Health Service and is in place to ensure passenger safety.
