Kat and Matt description on YouTube:

If you’re trying to figure out if this cruise is actually worth it… here’s the answer without the runaround. What’s worth it, what’s a waste of money, and what cruise lines don’t tell you before you book. We’re Kat and Matt from K&M Getaways. We cruise a lot, and we break it down the way people actually talk about it after the trip—not the polished version. No fluff. No brochure talk. No pretending every ship is amazing. If you don’t want to waste time, money, or your vacation… start here

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

This trip wasn't about what we were doing. It was about who I was doing it with.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

I mean, hands down it's probably the best thermal spa that I've been on on the sea. Nothing even comes close.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

It has some blue cheese, bacon, beautiful ball of cream fresh in the center and it explodes with flavor.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

This is what I want for my family. Memories that matter. Stories with heart. A legacy my kids can look back in on.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

Wait, when that chef did that heartbeat in the fried rice thing, the entire table reacted like they were witnessing world-class entertainment.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt
The Watch-outs

My bank says the charges were never released. And Princess says they're not the bank. Cool. Love that.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

And I couldn't even get my knife through the tender one.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

There is nothing like going through the pool deck and seeing 300 chairs with 12 people in them and but everyone is taken.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

We tried to use GigSky on our most recent NCL Lunar Cruise and we never got it working. Not once.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

I really don't like doing that. Anybody who's eaten with me knows I am willing to do whatever they put out in front, but that Wellington was just inedible.

🥉KnowledgeableKat and Matt

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Kat and Matt.

  1. Don't try to document everything; take the picture and then put the phone away to live in the moment.

  2. Always book a balcony if you can.

  3. Fly into Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami to save money and avoid traffic when heading to the Port of Miami.

  4. Always get travel insurance to cover medical expenses and potential evacuations.

  5. Use packing tape over the ink in luggage tag sleeves to prevent the ink from bleeding onto the plastic.

  6. Do not use AI for your channel.

  7. Don't let anybody tell you how to do your channel; do your own thing.

  8. Do your research and be prepared if you want to become a creator.
