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. Budget at least $250 per person per day for dining on Four Seasons Yachts.

  2. Consider the all-inclusive model of Ritz Carlton if you prefer not to think about money while cruising.

  3. Go into Carnival Adventure knowing it's a budget cruise option in Australia.

  4. Keep an eye on pricing for luxury cruises as deals can be found last minute.

  5. Be aware that credit card surcharges will be hidden in prices after the ban.

  6. Monitor your cruise and travel bookings for unexplained price increases after October 2026.

  7. Take advantage of pre-cruise discounts to save money compared to onboard prices.

  8. Be prepared for frequent pre-cruise emails about sales and discounts.
