Laurie and Gary Cruise description on YouTube:

Cruising through life with my loving husband Gary! Gary and I went on our 1st cruise together in 2014. At the time I had been on only one previous cruise vacation with family and Gary had worked as a cruise ship entertainer but had never traveled as a passenger. We immediately caught the cruise travel bug. This channel started as just a way for us to document and remember our vacations but the more we posted and saw all the questions various people had about cruising the more we wanted to create content to help answer these questions and show you how much fun cruising can be. Follow us on our journey!

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

It was an incredible experience for us to be on this group cruise to feel like a part of something. could talk to anybody and it was they were so friendly.

I will fight anyone who says the medallions aren't amazing.

It was freaking amazing.

This was definitely by far the best Mexican food we've ever had on a ship. Ever.

this is the best show Gary and I have ever seen on a cruise ship

The Watch-outs

I got violently ill from sushi on one of my cruises.

The reason it gets number one is because of the freaking thin thin thin walls. I mean, paper thin walls.

I don't trust a cruise ship phone operator as far as I can throw them

I don't even know I think he literally just guessed uh 72 hours yeah that sounds good three days and yeah what the heck knock yourself out go how far

we are going to talk about our worst cruise ports ever

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Laurie and Gary Cruise.

  1. If you want to visit the Solarium, go later in the day as it is easier to find a seat once people head out for afternoon activities.

  2. You can order anything from the main dining room menu at Blue, even though Blue features lighter cuisine.

  3. Get to the main dining room early for formal night to avoid crowds, though it wasn't too bad this time.

  4. If you arrive at the port early, chances are they will let you board the ship even if you didn't get an early check-in time.

  5. Do not stay at the Motto by Hilton in Philadelphia for more than one day due to extremely small room size.

  6. Consider the Free at Sea Plus package if you use Wi-Fi, Starbucks, and excursions, as it provides better value than purchasing separately.

  7. Order two lox on the bagel if you're hungry, as it's only one per order.

  8. Use immune booster electrolytes before a travel day.
