One thing I’ve learned about cruise ships is that it’s seemingly impossible to pass a threshold that is level with the floor. Being somewhat of a klutz naturally and a feet dragger at that, I end up tripping a lot. As I braced myself against a railing on one such occasion, I noticed that – on the raised part – it said “watch your step.” Now, if I were already looking DOWN, I wouldn’t have to “watch my step.” I’d know it was there. The most useful thing to do would be to post such a warning at EYE LEVEL, but then you’d end up defacing the entire ship. What to do?

Shouldn't it read "Watch Our Step"?
