5 Types of Passengers to Avoid During Your Cruise

Embarking on a cruise liner journey is one of life's most unforgettable experiences. Picture yourself traveling to the most fascinating places on the planet and living life to the fullest. However, this journey can be put at risk when encountering fellow passengers who may violate personal boundaries. 

 

Here are 5 types of cruise passengers to avoid to ensure a memorable journey:

 

● Loud Neighbor: This type of traveler may be encountered frequently. A noisy neighbor can become your unwelcome companion. It's not pleasant to find yourself wanting to sleep while your neighbor is having fun.

 

● Balcony Smoker: In recent years, smoking on board has only been allowed in designated special areas. However, a smoker may not be aware of the rules or may intentionally ignore them. Standing on the balcony, a smoker might think that he is  in the open air, disregarding that the smoke may bother neighboring cabins.

 

● Complainer: We're sure everyone has experienced this more than once. In the beginning he is friendly and nice. But suddenly on the halfway of the journey he begins complaining about the cleanliness of the cabin, the quality of the food, the dull entertainment and excursions. And generally he annoys everyone around him.

 

● Intrusive Friend: The beauty of a cruise vacation is the opportunity to make new friends and network. But be cautious because not all that glitters is gold. The line between pleasant conversation and spending the entire vacation with overly pushy and intrusive new friends is indeed thin.

 

● Anxious Type: Beware of an anxious person because anxiety is catching. You'll always encounter the anxious person in the front row. For example, to return to the liner, he arrives 2 hours early, fearing being late. Or he arrives at the restaurant earlier than everyone else, fearing not getting a good table or even going hungry.
