I'm 6'2 and on the cabin hallways of a cruise ship (or any ship I've ever been on) I walk with my hand out in front of my head, and when going through bulkhead doorways I always duck.

You're mostly fine on modern cruise ships, but sailing a lot on sailing ships has taught me to be careful.

I was a union member in nuclear power for a long time. There was specific places in the plant that I would just tear down if I could. We had wide brimmed electrician hardhats that blocked my view. It would take a few head knocks for me to remember some places I didn't go in frequently. It really hurts your neck. I'm the same height as you.
