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. Pick one side of Rome (ancient or Vatican) and experience it properly instead of cramming both.

  2. Spend time immersing in local culture and food rather than rushing through landmarks.

  3. Book smaller catamaran cruises or winery tours in Santorini to avoid crowds.

  4. Choose a cruise line and ship that matches your desired vacation atmosphere.

  5. Book cabins with other cabins above, below, and on both sides to avoid noise.

  6. Use a good cruise travel agent to save money and avoid mistakes.

  7. Book dining reservations, excursions, and other services through the cruise line app before sailing.

  8. Check in online as early as possible to get the earliest boarding times.
