What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

Revolution a celebration of Prince is absolutely amazing the music the costumes the choreography it was absolutely electrifying

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

We just got back from a fully hosted Japan cruise with Japanet on a Viking cruise ship, and it was unlike anything we've ever experienced.

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

It was so lively, so fun, with a little tiny bit of audience participation mixed in.

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

I would never do Alaska without these [rechargeable hand warmers].

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

This trip has truly been magical and I'm going to tell you all about the ship, the incredible ports.

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV
The Watch-outs

I think it's gone beyond controversy and it's like approaching scandal right now.

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

I really do not like the London Heathrow Airport we had a very bad experience there where I was in tears

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

I think Fort Lauderdale in Florida I've had two absolutely terrible check-in experiences there at Port Everglades just awful winding lines Outdoors nowhere to sit for people who needed to sit no structure everyone was arriving at the same time hot mess Express hated it

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

one of my worst uh Cruise mistakes that I ever made was booking a two night cruise and thinking I would like it I did not like it I felt like I had no time at all

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

I was disgusted by that um they overbooked I think it was in Australia they overbooked what was it Odyssey what ship was it I don't know people showed up to the cruise port and they're like sorry we probably don't have a cabin for you
