What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

the hotel staff at the front desk were over the top I mean they were just fantastic

we're coming back

you can taste the the the fresh olive oil the garlic with the parsley and the crush red all combined together with the grated cheese oh my God it's amazing

I would absolutely stay here again I really didn't have I have any negatives to be honest with you

would you stay at the ARA Hotel again absolutely why not absolutely loved it it was amazing great location

The Watch-outs

an individual unfortunately went through a tragic situation and has passed away and we like to get our prayers out for the deceased and their family

This is probably the worst the loudest cabin we have ever been at.

The Wi-Fi on Princess Line cruise lines, in my opinion, based on tests that I do, I do speed tests on every cruise ship that we cruise on, and by far, Princess has the worst Wi-Fi.

The minute we checked in, we got upstairs to our room. We got an email and the email says, "Oh, sorry. There's no cruise next week."

The water pressure on this ship is horrible. Check out the three different ships I have here.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Hubbards Journey.

  1. Try every sandwich and dessert at afternoon tea for the full experience.

  2. Use a fork for the rich chocolate desserts to avoid making a mess.

  3. Book a future Queen Mary cruise to take advantage of all offerings.

  4. Try the Hubbard 100 slot pull method: put $100 in, play 10 max-bet spins, then walk away.

  5. Avoid guest services on embarkation day to save time.

  6. Get to the theater early for a good seat with a clear view.

  7. Check out the secret forward-facing observation decks if they are open.

  8. Visit Serenity Adult-Only Retreat early to secure a lounger or cabana.
