Lois : No Cruise Control description on YouTube:

Welcome! I’m Lois, I’m a Specialist Nurse in the NHS and a Cruise content creator! I have quite a niche job, which can be very sad, so my way to maintain my resilience is to cruise! To set sail and switch off! I’d love to share this with you and inspire you to cruise! Having spent over 530 days at sea, on 20 different Cruise Lines, I hope to show you that Cruising really is the best way to travel and the choice of different cruise line is immense! Subscribe to watch my NCL, Azamara, Silversea, Seabourn, Celebrity, National Geographic, Windstar, Virgin Voyages, Disney Cruise Line, Explora Journeys, MSC Yacht Club, Majestic Line, Ponant Le Bellot plus many more over this next year. Over the next year I’ll be cruising the Scottish islands, the Med, Antarctica and the Arctic and much more on some very exciting cruise lines.

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I couldn't recommend it enough

i just like yeah no theater's ever going to be as good as that never

we loved the hammock so much uh it's just so comfortable and just the most amazing idea

would definitely stay in a junior suite on morel explorer again definitely without a doubt

I mean, this is heaven already. We're sailing past the Arctic. It's beautiful. It's our balcony view at the moment.

The Watch-outs

I need to think of something that stands for NC because quite frankly it's the worst customer service I have ever received in my life

I'm now had my FC cancelled between oh dropping my card between the 24th of November and the 6 when I got on the ship without anyone telling me

this was Cruise 52 for me and checkin was an absolute beep show um yeah absolutely awful chaotic no organization rude people passengers and crew just awful awful

She'll never ever be using Show Excursions um group again and cannot recommend it. Please do not.

I'm really all I can do is apologize for that wow Jesus Christ
