What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

Everything on the Carnival Magic that we just went on in March. I'm telling you, the best Carnival Cruise food. Everything. Main dining room, wherever.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

The best thing you can ever give a crew member is a good review, okay? If if they if they did a phenomenal job, the best thing they say that you can give them is a good review.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

NCL's food blows Carnival completely out of the water. Really does it.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

I love how it evolves. I love our support that we get from the community.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

This cruise community feels like the family I didn't even know I needed.

The Watch-outs

What should be a fun snorkeling excursion turned tragic in St. Martin on Thursday, June 25th, when one guest suffered a medical emergency and passed away.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

I purchased flights in December, November of last year from Little Rock to Miami through Cheap Flights. Come to find out, we have been scammed.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

We won't be back to this island. It was not now here.

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

I will never let you do the schedule. Okay. I do want to say this, too. If don't ever fly Frontier

🥉KnowledgeableScottie J Travels

Don't go to the Sun K beach club, girl, in Nassau. Don't do it. Just don't do it.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Scottie J Travels.

  1. Take Tylenol before getting shots to help with the body rejecting them/soreness.

  2. Take Dramamine the night before a cruise to help prevent motion sickness and ensure a good night's rest.

  3. Do not use Google for medical symptoms as it can cause anxiety.

  4. When using a microphone for a podcast, lean in close to capture nuances in your voice.

  5. Don't eat anything until you get to the buffet on embarkation day so you can hog out.

  6. Bring your own Pringles to mix with late-night room service tuna if the ship stops carrying chips.

  7. Check out Java Blue Cafe on Excel class ships for free food options in the line to the right of the coffee line.

  8. Pack an extra change of clothes to avoid being wet on the ship after beach activities.
