If you’re traveling within three decks, opt for the stairs for a quicker journey. While the idea of using stairs during a vacation may seem like an effort, it’s often a more efficient choice. Cruise ship elevators can experience congestion with a large number of passengers, stopping at every deck in both directions. This results in a potentially lengthy wait for the elevator to arrive at your floor.
Choosing the stairs for a short ascent or descent of a few decks proves to be a more convenient and faster alternative. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to burn off some of those indulgent “cruise calories” accumulated from enjoying plentiful meals on board.
