20 Things You Should Never Do on a Cruise Ship
Avoid the most common cruise ship mistakes that waste money, ruin experiences, and frustrate crew members. From skipping the muster drill to missing the ship in port, these 20 don'ts will make you a smarter cruiser.
Quick Answer
The biggest cruise ship mistakes are skipping travel insurance (a medical evacuation at sea costs $50,000-150,000), not checking your onboard account daily (surprise charges add up fast), missing the ship in port (the ship will leave without you), and booking the cheapest cabin without researching its location (interior cabins above the nightclub or near the anchor chain will ruin your sleep).
