What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
βRiverside Luxury Cruises. Some of the best food we've ever had, if not the best food on any river cruise line. Their buffet is so phenomenal and so high class and so delicious.β
βIt was a feast for the senses in terms of the chanting that the monks were doing for this blessing and the songs and the scent of the flower petals that they were throwing on us.β
βIf you have gone on 10 cruises with American cruise lines, you get a free cruise. You get the 11th cruise free, which is so freaking cool.β
βBarge cruising is truly phenomenal and really tailored. And then the other thing I remember about our cruise, barge cruises, very typically they'll include one incredible meal at a restaurant on land.β
βIt's not only a great photo opportunity, it's an incredible educational opportunity.β
βThe thing that I miss, I would say, is a pool. I think it would be great to have pools, but none of them have a pool.β
