Except for muster announcement, this is a downright blessing!

Cruise tip: ask your cabin steward to remove the minibar items if you
know you won't use them.

Eat in the dining room for every meal if you want a good food

you like meeting your fellow cruisers, sharing a table at breakfast
and lunch.
