What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œthis is one of maybe if not the most comfortable Suite we've ever had on a cruise ship”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œThis is probably our favorite overall buffet experience on any cruise line... I would say it's a 9.5 out of 10.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œViking Ocean. I think if we were forced to pick one cruise line that we could only sail on that cruise line for a year or two... I'd pick Viking Ocean.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œNCL probably has some of the best entertainment at sea that we've seen. We saw some shows on this cruise that was some of the best shows we'd ever seen.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œThe show was outstanding.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport
The Watch-outs

β€œWithout question, 100% the absolute worst cruise we've ever been on.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œthere is mold and fuzz growing on the fruit plate.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œI've never had that on a cruise line. Never had somebody really be rude to me on a cruise line.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œThis is the one buffet we try to avoid at all costs. We've been on three MSC cruises... Each time we tried the buffet and were very, very disappointed.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertCruiseReport

β€œi've seen a lot of youtube channels where they're asking the question is the cdc anti-cruise is there an anti-cruise bias the answer is pretty obviously yes”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for CruiseReport.

  1. Rent a cabana on the pool deck for shade.

  2. Consider upgrading to streaming Wi-Fi for better internet.

  3. Bring your own portable nightlight for the suite.

  4. Bring your own extension cord if you need AC power for a CPAP machine, as there may be no plugs near the bed.

  5. Request additional washcloths upon check-in, as only one was provided initially.

  6. Ask for the pillow menu early, as it may not be provided if you book late.

  7. Book through a travel agent for better pricing and assistance.

  8. Check loyalty program matching requirements before sailing.
