Some «dos» and «don'ts» for traveler.
Most passengers want to have a satisfying vacation—to explore new places^ relax, spend time with family and friends, and have some carefree fun. Unfortunately, some people can get carried away with the carefree part and forget to pack the good manners practiced every day at home...
Do not hog the lounge chairs. Every morning an invisible cadre of passengers piles towels and personal belongings on chaise lounges by the pool to save them for later. This is extremely selfish behavior.
Do not save seats. Do save a seat for your spouse or traveling companion, but do not try to save entire rows of seats in the show lounge or complete tables in the casual dining area.
Control your children. For their safety—and the safety of others—children shouldn't be allowed to roam freely around the ship, run around the swimming pool, splash water on other passengers or play in the elevators. Do not allow your children to intrude in adults-only spaces.
Be a considerate smoker. Those who smoke should light up their cigarettes, cigars, and pipes only in areas clearly approved for that purpose.
Turn down the sound. Portable electronics are wonderful gadgets, but not everyone has the same musical taste as you. In public areas, music players should be used with headphones.
Await your turn. Do not be in such a hurry that you compromise safety.
Do not complain while you wait. No one cares to listen to grumbling and whining. It's a vacation, so lighten up and go with the flow.
Listen and follow instructions. This is never more important than during the muster
drill!
