On your cruise ship, your stateroom is like a hotel room. This is where you will sleep, shower, get dressed, and relax after a day of cruising. For these reasons, your stateroom is important to the overall cruise experience you have. This blog post will address some general stateroom tips for all staterooms and tips for balcony staterooms.
Tips For All Staterooms:
1. Get to know your stateroom steward/stewardess. They will be serving you on your cruise vacation and take care of your stateroom during the cruise. On the first day or early in the cruise when the attendant introduces themselves learn what times they will be servicing your room & how you can contact them.
2. If your cruise ship has a mini-bar in the stateroom make sure you understand the procedures and fees associated with the mini-bar. If you don't plan on using the mini bar and have children make sure they know not to touch the mini-bar.
3. Return all towels to the stateroom by the designated time. If you don't you could be billed for the towels or get charged a late fee.
