What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œNot just on sea, but I think this is the best burger I've ever had.”

β€œThis was an absolutely faultless cruise.”

β€œbeing able to go up there and anchor in exmouth Bay on board Pacific Explorer meant that we had a front row seat for one of the most amazing events that you can see here on Earth”

β€œThe medallion app for Princess is actually I think probably the best that I've seen in the industry.”

β€œShe's just fantastic.”

The Watch-outs

β€œThe tragedy began 10 days into the voyage. On April 11, a Dutch passenger died on board the ship.”

β€œi was actually blocked by you know instagram and facebook for breaching their community policy by reporting too many fake accounts”

β€œWhat was meant to be a rare voyage through the South Atlantic Ocean has turned into a significant medical emergency.”

β€œReports indicate that the Strait remains effectively closed to commercial traffic with Iran reportedly demanding tolls of up to a million dollars for the safe passage through the Strait.”

β€œRegular bathing wasn't really a thing.”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Chris Frame the Maritime Historian.

  1. To avoid crowded ships, consider traveling off-season or choosing ships with better space ratios.

  2. Do due diligence on space ratios and cabin sizes before booking to ensure the ship meets your personality type (e.g., needing quiet vs. wanting high-density energy).

  3. If you can, get your Princess Medallion mailed to you before travel to avoid longer check-in times at the dock.

  4. Don't be blown by the hype of mega-ships; smaller ships (90k-100k tons) often provide a more luxurious and less crowded experience.

  5. Look for the 'sweet spot' in ship size to avoid the 'Disneyland' experience of constant queuing.

  6. The less you pay, the less disappointed you're going to be.

  7. Dietary control prior to a dive is very important; don't eat for six hours beforehand.

  8. Ensure regular detailed inspections of safety-critical seawater pipes to detect hidden corrosion.
