What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“It doesn't matter how many times you do it, it is awesome. And you know what? I tell you what, even just recalling it and just watching that, I've got a massive grin on my face.”
“Overall, the cabin or the suite in this matter earned five out of five stars.”
“This ship is a perfect blend between classic elegance and modern comfort.”
“Name me a more iconic departure location anywhere around the world. It's definitely right up there.”
“Imagine sitting here having a boiling hot spa as this ship sails through Alaska. Wouldn't that be special?”
“The cruise ship will not wait for you. It will depart on time. So if there is any delay to your flight, you will be impacted and everyone else will be sailing away.”
“I hate shower curtains, so I always mark down on points for that. Get rid of them, please, princess.”
“Disney Adventure has been delayed until March 2026.”
“Got a shower curtain which I personally hate but oh well. Holland America, if you're listening to this, get rid of your shower curtains.”

Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for S.W. Black Travel.
Ask the agent to check with a team leader to confirm availability specifically regarding guaranteed bookings.
Verify the actual value, location, and deck of the upgrade before accepting.
Be prepared to pay immediately as limited offers can change quickly.
Do not consider the upgrade finalized until you have written confirmation and an updated booking.
Use the link in the comments to search for available signature suites on Noordam voyages.
If you're in Australia, make sure that you consider the have it all package because it's well worth it in my opinion.
It's always worth going to have a conversation with the future cruise consultant just to see what they can offer.
Club Orange is always capacity limited... so do get in early to ensure that you don't miss out.
