40+ Valuable Household Items That Could Be Worth a Fortune

First released in October 2001, the iPod is a very popular millennial gadget. But, thanks to the rapid technological advancement, it’s already considered vintage! Many first-generation iPods have already been sold for as much as $20,000. So, if you've kept your first iPod by any chance, you’re in luck! If the product is in good condition, factory sealed or not, you’re likely going to get a good return if you find a buyer.

Cutting off from the rest of the world while at sea may seem refreshing, but it could cause problems for couples who start to lead separate lives. According to a former crew member "It's kind of like a don't-ask-don't-tell policy."

The crew members may attend to your every want and need, providing great customer service when they can. However, while they may be there to assist you, you may not always understand what they're speaking about amongst themselves as they have their own code names for different situations. "Code Alpha" translates into a medical emergency, "Code Adam" means a child is nowhere to be found, and "Code Oscar" means a person fell overboard. This is probably not to scare anyone overhearing their conversations!

Due to problems in the past, most cruise ships have issued a "no fraternizing with guests rule." Crew members are strictly forbidden from forming any romantic relationships with passengers on board, and will face the consequence of being fired immediately if caught breaking the rule. This is taken very seriously, with some cruise ship management threatening their workers to leave them wherever the ship is to next dock should they break the rule, and leave them to find their own way home.

They may lead the luxurious life of being able to travel the world as part of their job, but crew members do have to sacrifice their privacy for this reward. Having to share cabins means that crew members are not given their own room onboard, and these are not big and spacious, but rather they all have to cram which may come as an adjustment shock. Higher ranked officers, however, do have the privilege of being given a single room.
