What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

โ€œSeabourn is the finest cruise experience available.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œHero of the Seas will have nine pools on board. Nine. That is the most pools ever placed on a single cruise ship in history.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œMy best victory involved scoring what's called a junior suite for an additional $580 total when the standard price difference would have exceeded $3,200.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œHolland America's Alaska program is unmatched.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œFor discerning travelers who appreciate quality over quantity, tradition over trends, and sophistication over spectacle, Holland America delivers genuine value.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor
The Watch-outs

โ€œTraining compressed. Communication barriers between international crew ignored.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œPassengers report flickering lights, overflowing drains, and housekeepers stretched so thin they're managing 20 cabins alone.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œDuring one sailing, emergency lights failed during a power flicker for nearly 2 minutes.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œPassengers report glass and food.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableCruise Advisor

โ€œBut for seniors, especially those in their 70s, 80s, and beyond, Royal Caribbean has become increasingly difficult, exhausting, and overwhelming.โ€

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Cruise Advisor.

  1. Call or message customer service today while teams are still at full strength to lock in specialty dining reservations, shore excursions, cabin upgrades, and any accessibility or dietary needs.

  2. Download the NCL app and make sure all your booking details are confirmed in writing. Screenshot everything.

  3. If you're on a future MSC sailing this summer, log into your MSC account today and verify your ship has not changed.

  4. If you are thinking about a cruise in late 2026 or 2027, this is your signal to stop thinking and start booking.

  5. Now is the time to start planning if any of this has you thinking about your next Royal Caribbean cruise.

  6. Your booking is safe; corporate changes do not affect existing reservations.

  7. Watch for flash sales and aggressive promotions in early 2026 for potential deals.

  8. Monitor the company's debt load and any major economic shocks that could impact operations.
