General Tips For Cruise Ship Staterooms

7/29/2015

 
Cruise Ship Stateroom
        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. 
4.  Keep the volume of your TV low so you don't disturb other guests. The walls are usually thin and the people on both sides of your room can hear what is going on in your room if you are loud.
5.  If your room has a safe use a combination that you will remember, but others cannot easily guess.
6.  Lock & bolt your stateroom at night to prevent anyone from entering the stateroom.
7.  Don't open door for strangers.  Don't let children open the door without an adult permission.
8.  Use the peephole to see who is at the door.
9.  Lock valuables in the safe.
10.  Don't leave children unattended in the stateroom, regardless of whether you have or do not have a balcony.

Tips For Staterooms With Balconies:
1.  Test the water temperature before exposing skin to prevent scalding.
2.  Don't flush bulky objects down the toilet  This is against most cruise line's policies and may clog your toilet  To get your toilet unclogged you will have to explain to the crew why it is clogged and might even have to wait a long time before it gets unclogged.
3.  Hold on to your jewelry. If you accidentally flush a valuable down the toilet it might be hard for a crew member to retrieve it from pipes.
4.  Leave used towels on the floor and fresh towels on the rack.  
5.  Use caution to prevent slipping in the bathroom.


Tips For Stateroom Bathrooms:
