What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“They're unique to Azamara cruises and they're what turns a cruise into a memory.”
“Look at the size of this beautiful balcony. It's really nice and deep.”
“Regent Seven Seas is absolutely one of them.”
“We would absolutely love to have some of you sailing with us on this incredible journey.”
“Regent 7C's is one of the most luxurious cruise lines in the world.”
“When I called the cruise line to alter one of those sailings, they quickly said no. Not because they couldn't, because the policy said they didn't have to.”
“On a recent voyage aboard the Regal Princess, the captain's voice came over the intercom announcing a critical situation on board and asking for anyone with a signed blood donor card to come forward.”
“In a horrifying incident in November 2023, the cruise ship Spirit of Discovery was caught in a violent storm in the Bay of Bisque. A massive wave struck the vessel, causing its propulsion safety system to activate and the ship to halt abruptly, resulting in chaos.”
“If you are not in need of an accessible cabin, please don't book it.”
“I have not been able to go on several cruises that I've wanted to go on and found out later that totally able-bodied people have booked the rooms.”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for KirkToriStory.
Budget for Wi-Fi packages every sailing, as real internet is expensive and Starlink is banned.
Plan for excursions and port activities as essential costs, not optional extras.
Budget for in-between days, including hotel stays, flights, and other gap expenses.
Read your travel insurance policy carefully to understand actual coverage, not assumptions.
Purchase travel insurance with the right terms for full-time cruising.
Review cancellation, emergency medical, and repatriation coverage before booking.
Consider cancel for any reason coverage for additional flexibility.
Bring your own hooks for drying clothes.
