Well you don't have to. But if you want to, w- I can take care of the mess. [obviously not going to volunteer Maximilien for something so clearly below him!]
[just going to let Maximilien handle this one, busily doodling out Clarke, Skulduggery, herself, pauses to think of who else is annoying. more specifically, to Friday.]
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.
[Maximilien is fully prepared to give dictator lessons over here]
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.
[cheerfully nods along to Max's reasoning as she tapes the annoying passenger caricatures to the other knickknacks along the desk, arranges them just so.]
[He gestures to the new targets indicating that he's talking about them and definitely not the concept of free-will and the ability to think for yourself.]

[They'll get Friday to be her own person someday!]
You created the mess, you don't have to clean it up. Remember, you don't have to follow your own rules.

But, if I don't follow my rules, who will?

Well... There isn't anything in my orders that says I can't... specifically...
