What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

Would you sell Celebrity Apex again in a heartbeat? In a heartbeat.

Now, these ships have made us believe we would like to live on one of them or both of them full time.

We're going to take you on a cruise that we did last spring where we did one cruise, three continents.

This is how you travel bigger, people, and cheaper.

This opens up the world to you.

The Watch-outs

Medical evacuations blow up this budget. Whatever savings you may have had, it's gone. Medical evacuations, 40 to 100,000 dollars.

the thermal Spa is really weird you guys honestly I wouldn't waste your money

Cruise lines can literally refuse to let you board. Or if you're already on there... they can put you off the ship.

the cabins near the front elevators have got to be going picking mad um and the reason for that is as we go up to the front air elevators around deck 9 and 10 there is a horrendous squeak

Wi-Fi on a cruise ship is horrible

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Cruise Through Retirement - Videos.

  1. Ask travel agents if they charge a fee; they shouldn't.

  2. Ensure travel insurance covers medical evacuation, especially for international travel.

  3. Vet travel agents by checking their availability and how they handle stressful situations.

  4. Use a travel agent for complex trips with multiple connections or niche destinations.

  5. Check the updated points system for drinks and See You Soon offers before playing.

  6. Use the 2-cent machines to wait for drinks while saving money.

  7. Note that the casino has no bar; wait staff will bring drinks to you.

  8. Use an anchor cruise to extend land adventures and visit multiple continents on one trip.
