What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“We had the perfect day in Curacel.”
“Oh my god, that was out of this world.”
“So overall, is it worth it? Absolutely.”
“MSC Seascape in mid-April currently starts around 385 dollars per person for an inside cabin. That's about 55 dollars per day. I'm sorry, that is a freaking steal.”
“And don't worry about missing the ship. Brian is a pro, and he's going to make sure you get back in time.”
“I kind of hate it.”
“I can't imagine trying to live my best life, even into my older age, not feeling well on an excursion and being told we'll just head back. It's just absolutely heartbreaking, unforgivable, and devastating.”
“one man on Rap City of the Seas a few days ago took this literally and jumped off the ship because he incurred a massive gambling debt on the ship.”
“I kind of hate it.”
“I'm just wrapping up a port day in Puerto Plata and unfortunately saw something that really shook me to the core and is very disturbing which was a man laying at the side of the road who had passed away.”
