What Creators Are Saying About Cruise Hive
We were frustrated, but we tried not to show it because we certainly know that errors can happen.

Retired Early Slow Travelers
If you're looking for value, variety, and plenty of fun, Carnival once again has the biggest presence in Australia for the 2026 27 season.

Late to the Sail Away with Paul & Lee
She's an absolute blast and a strong contender for one of the best value cruises sailing out of the American Gulf Coast today.

CruiseTalesToday
Is elite status on Princess really all it's cracked up to be? That's what we're going to talk about today.

Sean Went
As long as you're okay with a bit longer walk from the elevator bank, they offer layouts that feel much more spacious than the interior layouts

Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Cruise Hive.
Keep an eye on Carnival as they could be serving burgers late across the fleet.
Skip homemade treats for Carnival crew and bring factory-sealed, unopened pre-packaged snacks instead.
Follow the blue AA signs at PortMiami and prepare for plenty of walking due to terminal changes.
The deadline to contact Royal Caribbean or a travel agent is August 28th this year.
Pay attention to itinerary changes for Margaritaville at Sea Islander as they could disrupt tours, beach plans, and nightlife.
Watch for Norwegian Cruise Line's end-of-summer sale running through August 18th for 50% off and onboard credit.
Plan ahead for currency as Carnival generally doesn't offer exchange on board except for Canadian dollars.
If booking Alaska with Princess, consider cruise tours to Denali National Park and Kenai Fjords.
