What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I don't think there's a muscle in my body that is aching from just laughing so much.

If you love looking at the sea, it doesn't get any better than this.

What truly is lifechanging is how much our community means to us. It genuinely has changed our life and very much for the better.

it is best, one of the best holiday in we've stayed in

the band in the Rolling Stone Rock Room is the best band we've ever seen on a cruise

The Watch-outs

It sucked. Um, as specialty dining goes, this is the worst experience I've ever had in my 60 cruises.

we've not been sleeping very well at all.

The standard of passengers on this cruise was something we've never experienced in our 60 previous cruises.

70 mph winds out there. 80 mph winds in here. That's another storm.

we want to show you about our classic double room and show you why we would never ever book this room again

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Paul and Carole Love to Travel.

  1. When staying at Voco in Southampton, bring your cases down to breakfast on embarkation day so they can be put in lockup for convenience.

  2. If visiting St. Gloss Cathedral, you don't have to pay to enter, but a donation is appreciated.

  3. Make sure you bring a power bank so you can pop it by your bed because there are no plugs or USBs by the bedside.

  4. If you see the Pinnacle game show on the program on a Cunard cruise, go and see it because it's been good fun.

  5. Check out other ocean view reviews on Queen Victoria for comparison.

  6. Freeze a large plastic bottle of water and place it behind your fan to make it blow cold air.

  7. When joining Patreon, use a desktop rather than Apple Pay to avoid high transaction fees.

  8. When booking transport, agree on a price before getting into a taxi to avoid being ripped off.
