    There's a common habit that people do on their cabin balcony that's not allowed on Carnival Cruises.

    No, we don't mean sex - so get your mind out of the gutter, thank you.

    However, it should be noted that doing the dirty on your balcony is very much frowned upon.

    As any serial cruiser knows, there are rules and regulations that you have to follow as a cruise ship passenger.

    For example, people who go on the infamous nude cruise are reportedly not allowed to put their bare butts on any public surfaces.

    Meanwhile, Christine Kesteloo, who lives on a cruise ship, revealed to her large social media following that she's not allowed to do things like gamble or film any other guests and crew members.

    Now, one Carnival Cruise rule that's been a topic of discussion of late is hanging laundry out to try on your balcony.

    While many people may do this at their apartments on land, it's strongly advised against when on a cruise ship.

    According to content creator Jayson Judson, senior cruise director and brand ambassador of Carnival Cruise Line John Heald was recently sent some photos of people hanging their clothing out to dry.

    Heald addressed the matter on his Facebook page, writing, as per the New York Post: "This is absolutely not allowed for very, very important safety reasons and I know that once the cabin attendants come to the cabin that morning they will be removed."

    Heald's sentiments are echoed on Carnival Cruise's website, which states: "For safety concerns, clothing and towels should not be hung to dry on your balcony."

    Elsewhere it's been suggested that seeing someone hanging their Y-fronts from their balcony isn't the most appealing site.

    The ambassador's remarks come after he issued another warning recently to those traveling to Europe this year.

    Someone asked the Brit on his Facebook page what documentation they'd need to visit Rome and the rest of the Mediterranean later this year.

    Heald replied: "Unlike the UK where starting January 8, 2025, US citizens traveling to the United Kingdom for short visits, tourism, or business, including those just passing through UK airports will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), the European Union has yet to confirm what will be needed.

    "There will be a visa needed or ETIAS as it is called. But at the time of me writing this it has not been decided by the EU when this will start."

    Once the ETIAS are up and running, they'll be valid for three years, or until the date of the person's passport expiration.
