Use them.

I thought obvious joke was obvious.

You know I love you man. But I need to be careful with jokes, right? I'm on a short leash.

Travel Rule #3:

Elevator etiquette: Don’t stand in front of the door to get on. Others may need to get off, and you’re not going anywhere until they do.

Don’t be that douche.

Cruise ships dump human waste in the ocean so the more cruises you go on the higher chance that someone eats a fish that ate your poop.

Wow. You don't have a clue. Google it.

That said, I would love to cruise with you, just so you can learn something.

“I’m not sarcastic. I’m just intelligent beyond your understanding.”
“Sarcasm is the body’s natural defense against stupidity.”

Got this from a friend of ours.

I can't begin to understand this reaction but obviously I got that info from Google.

Travel Rule #4:

Never cut a line. The elevator, the buffet, the stand-by line at a show, etc. Don’t do it.
One person can save a spot for one other, but one person cannot save a spot for 12 others.
That's just a douche on steroids.

Travel Rule #5:

Don’t photo-bomb other’s pictures. Yes, you will be noticed, and yes, you will be despised forever.
Don’t make that your thing.
Here’s a great example of a photo-bomb:

Just walk away.

It really does. And the fact his chin is lifted just enough to say, "got you". He also blends surprisingly well with the pole he's standing in front of, which is why I didn't notice him.

I just wish it was in someone else's pic.

Travel Rule #6:

Don’t be a pool chair hog. Do you really need a chair right next to the pool for 14-hours? No, you don’t. You are rarely going to get in the pool anyway, and there are tons of chairs in the sun. Find a chair when you need it.

lbr, I meant no disrespect, and I apologize if my response came off poorly.

Major cruise lines are very sensitive to accusations of ocean dumping, and they have made incredible progress over the last decades. Raw human waste is no longer dumped by respectable cruise lines.

I remember the days when we would hit golf balls off the back of the deck -- hundreds and hundreds of golf balls, on hundreds of ships. Thankfully, that's no longer a thing.

I guess if you want to bitch about cruises, it would be their high carbon footprint, not ocean dumping. But even in that area, the newest ships are getting much better.

You know what, I wouldn't mind going on a cruise and hanging with CruiseRGuy.

Seems like it would be fun. Mini Golf is what's up!

Well thank you sir.

You'll have to beat my better half at mini-golf -- she's the master. But I will run you up against the rails on the go-carts. For sure.

Travel Rule #7:

Don’t be late, ever.

Whether it’s a bus tour, a dining reservation, a theatre show, or just getting back to the ship.

No one is happy when we’re all waiting for two people who aren’t smart enough to know what time it is.

The ship announces your names. We all know who you are.

Go on a fall cruise to New England and Canada. The average age is a little north of dead.

Can you be a bit more specific? Like, why? Is there something missing, or are you one that breaks all the rules?

I guess you would think that's "bad", right?

We travel a lot, so we have an annual travel insurance policy.

Short answer, yes. Always buy at least the minimum travel insurance.

Been there. We laughed at the fact there weren't "pier runners", but pier walkers with walkers.

Travel Rule #8:

You are not immortal.

Don’t stand on the rail of a ship, the edge of a cliff, or the middle of a river, just to get a selfie. I guess if you’ve done it, and are still alive to read this, you got lucky.

Don’t do it again.
