The Watch-outs

β€œChair hogging behavior has become an awful cruise trend. And it even extends beyond the pool deck.”

πŸ…AuthorityEat Sleep Cruise

β€œthe pizza was inedible”

πŸ…AuthorityEat Sleep Cruise

β€œthe most frequent answer we received was be rude to the crew and the staff”

πŸ…AuthorityEat Sleep Cruise

β€œthe one thing we used to say about Royal Caribbean is that the cruise line didn't nickel and dime”

πŸ…AuthorityEat Sleep Cruise

β€œThe biggest issue we had with the stateateroom was the noise. Given its location right off the atrium, it often sounded like we were in the middle of the atrium party.”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Eat Sleep Cruise.

  1. Work with a certified travel adviser to navigate options and find deals.

  2. Match the cruise line to your energy preference: high-energy (Royal Caribbean/Virgin) vs. low-key (Oceania/Viking).

  3. If you are a Java lover, make sure to ask for a punch card at Java Blue Cafe to get a free coffee after six drinks.

  4. With sun loungers on multiple decks near the pools, you could find a spot to relax with just a little bit of planning.

  5. Save some room for the chocolate forest dessert at the Chef's Table.

  6. Use the cruise line app to pre-reserve specialty dining or flexible dining times to avoid crowds and high costs.

  7. Avoid the buffet on embarkation day; look for poolside grills or casual stations instead.

  8. Check for specialty restaurant lunch service, which is often cheaper or complimentary on certain lines.
