Twelve things that will get you thrown off a cruise

If you are planning a cruise holiday, make sure your passport has at least six months left on it, or you might not even be allowed to board. And check you have a visa for every stop you might make on the trip.

And pranksters please note: Bomb hoaxes or 'man overboard' jokes are not welcome.
