What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“The food on this cruise I thought was fantastic.”
“It means a lot. This boat has a history that's, you know, larger than all of us and she represents not only what she is as a wonderful artifact and a, you know, a product of her time but also, you know, the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people she's impacted over her, you know, many different facets of her life.”
“So, I'm on Ocean Victory um, at the moment. So, I'm right at the top of the ship sitting in the observation lounge overlooking Oben at the moment.”
“I'd say it's a you perfect way for solo solo travelers to get involved and meet people and and have fantastic conversations at sea.”
“I absolutely love that they have not only these windows and if it gets too hot, pull these down or open these obviously, but the great thing is that if you're working out and looking at the mirror here, it's double the views, right?”
“Everything won't be buttoned up for their first year, maybe even the first two years. So if you're expecting a welloiled machine, you might want to think about a brand that's more wellestablished.”
“The 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.”
“We were shocked to see some of those stems were bald and we were there the third week of April last year.”
