Cruising With Captain Cliff
🥉Knowledgeable CreatorCruising With Captain Cliff description on YouTube:
Welcome to Cruising With Captain Cliff! After completing my U.S. military career, I traded my boots for a life of exploration. I’ve been procrastinating on sharing my journey, but now I’m ready to bring you along as I return to full-time travel and cruising. My first cruise in August 2015 sparked a passion for seeing the world by air, land, and sea. Since then, I’ve traveled solo to 99 UN countries, explored 40+ U.S. states, completed 95 cruises across six cruise lines, and spent 854+ days at sea. This channel shares my real experiences: cruise tips, ship reviews, ports of call, travel strategies, and stories from meeting amazing people around the world. With my youngest of three children graduating high school and starting college, I’m beginning a new chapter — multiple cruises from Southampton, UK to Singapore, then continuing my journey through Asia. Legend of the Seas inaugural sailing - July 4, 2026 There is so much to see, learn, and experience. Subscribe and join the voyage!

What Creators Are Saying About Cruising With Captain Cliff
This is one of the joys of staying on the ship on a port day. You get the whole place to yourself.

The KAM Fam
It was a nice thing to do because it was super hot, super humid, and after having four days in ports previous, it was a nice day to just kind of relax.

Port Monkeys
I've cruised a lot. I've never had an issue with that. I've never had an issue with that.

Matt
Celebrity Beyond passed our imbarcation day test, but honestly that was not the test I was worried about.

Portholes and Pixie Dust
She is not the newest or the shiniest vessel on the seas, but she has personality by the boatload.
