Ray & Sue's Travel Channel description on YouTube:

Demystifying what cruise vacations are all about. Providing tips and tricks whilst on-board and off-board, we share our experiences of current and future cruises. We have already completed many cruises since 2006 and regret not keeping more of a record of those wonderful times. Moving forward we will bring you great content of our experiences of global cruise vacations and share with you not just the exceptional cruise ships that we board but also bring you interesting and up to date travel tips in the ports we visit. Whether you're new to cruising or an established cruiser, I'm sure you will find these videos factual, insightful and refreshing. We aim to show you how it really is in a hope we can dispel any myths about what cruising really is about. ENJOY !!

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œIt's an absolutely fantastic ship and whilst we're here on board during this week, we're going to be doing some ship tours and port tours”

β€œThe little port is over just at the bottom of the hill there where you can see the sunshine reflecting off of the ocean.”

β€œIt's very, very comfortable. No problems, accessibility, no worries.”

β€œAnd a really really lovely array of different eclair pastries that are available for you.”

β€œit looks just as inviting as all of the marketing materials would uh suggest.”

The Watch-outs

β€œit's a real uh sad thing to see um you know these ships are worth hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars and they're just sitting out the the pandemic”

β€œa very sad thing to see that we have the wonderful allure of the seas in port at the moment but of course she's not picking up any people for cruises”

β€œhow sad that is allure of the seas is in port now it's the first of august so we're obviously not seeing anybody off board and on board the cruise ship”

β€œlots of ships are currently at anchorage and sitting idle completely empty almost like ghost ships”

β€œit's a real shame to see but allure of the seas is is pretty much empty apart from essential maintenance staff”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Ray & Sue's Travel Channel.

  1. Ensure you complete your muster station check before attempting to leave the terminal area.

  2. Inside staterooms are a great option for those who want darkness in the morning or are frequent cruisers.

  3. Check the back of your stateroom door for specific muster station information and emergency signals.

  4. To avoid cable car queues, get off the ship early, go up to the top, and come down around lunchtime or just after.

  5. Be prepared for stairs and narrow walkways in Oia and Fira.

  6. If you have limited mobility, be aware that the slope in the Oia port can be a challenge.

  7. Please do wash your hands for a healthy and happy and safe vacation.

  8. Use the €12 shuttle bus from the side of the ship to the center of Dubrovnik for an easy transfer.
