A cruise ship worker has revealed the latest faux pas passengers make while on holiday.
Lucy Sotherton, 28, from Birmingham, has been working on cruise ships for nine years, since she was 19.
He recently talked about what life at sea is really like: the good, the bad, and how you might be getting on the crew’s nerves without realizing it.
The Brit warned that the main thing you should avoid if you don’t want to be made fun of is taking off your shoes.
“Crew members generally make fun of passengers who find it acceptable to walk around the cruise ship without shoes,” he admitted in the Daily Star.
Cruise worker Lucy Sotherton has revealed the latest holiday faux pas passengers make
Lucy warned that the main thing to avoid if you don’t want to be made fun of is taking off your shoes.
Lucy revealed: ‘Surprisingly, there is always one passenger per cruise who feels comfortable walking around the entire cruise without shoes.
‘They will go in and out of shops without shoes and will even consider it appropriate to go to the theater without shoes because they are technically indoors.
‘However, in any space outside your cabin, you must have your shoes on.
“And if you want to walk around the cruise ship without shoes right now, the crew members will make fun of you.”
However, it’s not just sticking your feet out that will get workers jeered: being rude is another blunder.
Lucy said: “I think the biggest mistake people can make when on a cruise is not being courteous to all the crew members.”
“You don’t know what you’re going to need and which crew member will be able to solve your problems and it has happened before where a passenger has been incredibly rude to a crew member they later needed during their cruise.” .’
If you’re nice to the staff, they might even offer you some free luxuries.
The 28-year-old shared that the best way to get free stuff and upgrades is to “make genuine connections with crew members.”
He added: “And this applies to your stateroom, steward, waiter and, really, any member of the crew.”
‘If you are a good person and have a connection with a crew member, they are more likely to go above and beyond for you.
“That’s why it makes me laugh when passengers are rude to crew members because they’re not doing themselves any favors.
“No crew member will want to go out of their way for a passenger who is disrespectful and rude.”
Lucy has been working on cruise ships for nine years, since she began her career at age 19.
A cruise ship worker claims that the worst type of passenger is the one who is ‘determined to be miserable’ no matter what you offer them and that ‘happy passengers are the best.’
So if you’re heading to the sea this year, make sure you smile and keep your feet under control if you want to make a good impression.
It comes right after a The singer who used to work on a cruise ship has lifted the lid on the morbid reason they have ‘free ice cream parties’ on board.
TikTok star Dara Starr Tucker opened up about her experience with cruise ship disasters and deaths in a series of videos on the platform, where she has more than 1.1 million followers.
When one commenter pointed out that there is a correlation between the amount of ice cream given to passengers and the number of bodies in the morgue, he confirmed that “unfortunately, this is often true.”
“If the crew suddenly makes a bunch of ice cream available to passengers (a free ice cream party), it’s often because more people have died on the ship than there is room in the morgue,” he said.
