What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

Regent Seven Seas Explorer, it goes into S tier. I didn't want to disembark.

107 knights is the ultimate bucket list voyage

The food and service you'll experience across all of 7C's Explorer is undoubtedly some of the best you'll experience at sea.

The bathroom is truly incredible. It's one of those spaces that definitely lets you know that you are staying within a luxury suite.

The rainfall shower head is a personal favorite. Absolutely love that.

The Watch-outs

This cruise was terrible. And I'm not crapping on Kunard um or even the ship, but this particular cruise, we took it early early 2024 between Melbourne and Sydney.

Melbourne has become unattractive to cruise lines. That's the bottom line.

it is very unlikely that either Cruise will be departing I mean it's almost guaranteed that they will not be departing but people need to know this

the toilet wouldn't flush would overflow all sorts of things it wasn't great

the Australian Cruise industry is in a perilous position

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Adrian The Cruise and Travel Guy.

  1. Focus on finding your 'type' of cruiser rather than sticking to a single favorite cruise line to avoid limiting your experiences.

  2. Cruise lines should consider mid-cruise surveys to address issues as they happen.

  3. Cruise lines should potentially allow anonymous feedback that isn't linked to specific crew members.

  4. Calculate the break-even point for drinks packages based on port days and consumption.

  5. Add individual prices of extras (Wi-Fi, gratuities, etc.) to the base fare before comparing cruise prices.

  6. Consider independent shore excursions for better quality and lower cost, but allow buffer time for return.

  7. Check if your booking allows for price re-faring if rates drop.

  8. Always verify unsolicited phone offers by calling the cruise line directly via their official website.
