We also p refer no housekeeping
We tell,our steward that we'd only like service maybe once during a week's cruise
We often give an extra tip so that v they don't think we want no service to save on tipping
I believe they are required to go into the cabin at least once to make sure all is well
We ask for towels as needed
We give e our garbage cans to be emptied as we see the steward the hallway
On a ship your steward deals with room issues nit anyone at the front desk
