You're in a position of power on the hierarchy of the ship. While the Captain might be in charge, you are the one most will interface with. They'll follow your rules because they must, and if they don't you can make them. I've seen you be able to be in multiple places at once, to always know when a fire is going to break out or a child is going to drink alcohol. You can continue to enforce your rules, but there's no one who's going to do the same to you.

And of course, people like you so you likely wouldn't have to do anything at all to have people continue to follow your lead. I suppose instead of leveraging your status you could be benevolent. That's...probably a viable option. [Yuck.] In any case, I think after however long you've been doing this you should get to enjoy some rule breaking.
