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€œShe's just fantastic.”

β€œThis is better designed than the Edgeclass. It's just absolutely beautifully designed.”

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

  2. Implement thorough safety management systems for routine examination of critical equipment.

  3. If you're planning on a cruise in 2026 or 2027 in Brazil and you speak Portuguese, keep an eye out for Buena Vista.

  4. Book an ocean view cabin after guest services on deck three for a 7-foot floor-to-ceiling window.

  5. Consider older Millennium class ships for better value and classic cruising experience.

  6. Don't pay extra for the retreat; you can get similar service in standard cabins.

  7. Check the Expert Cruise Show for updates on the war's impact on cruising.

  8. Support the channel by joining as a member or purchasing the creator's book.
