What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

Is that not heaven? If that's not heaven on a cruise ship, then I don't know what is.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

It might actually ruin other ships for you.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

Would we sail the Star of the Seas again? And the answer, without a doubt, yes.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

it was absolutely incredible everything I had heard about the show was that it would be phenomenal I didn't know if it lived up to the hype but honestly it was better than the hype

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

this entire island is absolutely incredible

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea
The Watch-outs

The most noticeable difference isn't just how much cruising costs, but how much less that cost now includes.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

Cruise lines have mastered the art of subtle ripoffs that drain your wallet a little bit at a time without you even realizing it.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

The most telling feedback came from Princess Loyalists themselves. We met couples on board who had sailed Princess 20, 30, and even 40 times who told us this was their worst Princess cruise ever.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

this is by far the least impressive one we've ever done in my opinion

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

It was honestly the worst buffet I've ever experienced.

🥈ExpertFamily at Sea

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Family at Sea.

  1. When choosing a cruise line, consider whether you value production-style entertainment (Royal Caribbean) or participation-style entertainment (Carnival).

  2. On Royal Caribbean, look at Oasis class ships for the best value sweet spot.

  3. Prioritize the itinerary over the ship's amenities.

  4. Consider booking a balcony cabin for immediate access to scenery.

  5. Check where the ship docks to avoid shuttles or tenders.

  6. Consider Vancouver departures for smoother seas and better Inside Passage views.

  7. Budget for excursions as they are essential to the Alaska experience.

  8. Prioritize cruises with access to Glacier Bay.
