π₯Expert Creatorthiscruiselife description on YouTube:
Hey cruisers! It's Mark and Rocky sharing our cruise adventures with you! From cruise ship walkthroughs and cruise ship reviews, to port and excursion overviews - we're taking you into this cruise life by providing you with videos, pictures, and background on our favorite hobby: cruising! The idea for thiscruiselife was born during the pandemic when cruising came to a halt around the globe. Talking about #thiscruiselife allowed us to support the cruise industry during the shut down, while providing an outlet to celebrate all of the things that make this form of vacation travel the best out there! Whether you're a first-time cruiser, or seasoned on the seas, there's likely something for you here on the channel. And as we grow, we'd love your questions, comments, and, of course, feedback, to make us even better. You can find us on all socials and at thiscruiselife.com. You might say we're kind of passionate about this cruising hobby (obsession?) and we love sharing it with you!

What Creators Are Saying About thiscruiselife
So, we wasn't too satisfied with Cday Brunch, so we decided to stop and get a rainbow bagel. Let's see. This is good. This kind of makes up for it.
Keeping Up With The Griffins
He's in a desperate attempt to save a dying channel that's on the skids. And I'm going to turn you guys around so you can see the road.
New York Dan
It is refined, calm, and geared toward adults who actually want to relax on vacation.
CruiseTalesToday
Just because you're on vacation does not necessarily mean that you are exempt from bad things happening to you or the people you are traveling with.
LetsTalkShip
The snack is described by on board signage as a crave warty natural bowl featuring bold flavors and fun bites made for cruising.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
βI would say without a doubt in my mind that, yes, I would absolutely sail on board the Carnival Elation again.β
βNorwegian Luna has become my new favorite ship.β
βI give it a five ship rating. I loved my time.β
βI am calling this the best new attraction on a cruise ship in many years.β
βWe loved it that much. I'm giving it six ships out of five.β
βThe worst part, however, about the Carnival Vista and most appalling was we had the dirtiest room we have ever had.β
βI noticed that there was a very strong smell of a mildew, or something that's been wet for a very long time.β
βWe had to eat at dirty tables with other people's dishes because there was no crew that was around cleaning the tables.β
βIt was a terrible experience. Uh, with the bar service on board, honestly, it feels like the crew is stretched too thin.β
βThe soap in the public bathrooms. Speaking of Norwegian cheaping out, they have essentially just put water in those dispensers.β
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for thiscruiselife.
Manage your expectations based on the price of the cabin.
Check the date of online reviews to see if they are current.
If you are going to Progresso, the cenote and ruins with lunch excursion is super recommended.
Use heavy duty 115 lb magnetic hooks for hanging items in staterooms rather than the 30 lb ones.
If visiting Barcelona, you must do tapas and paella.
Check out the Carnival Festival detailed first look for a top-to-bottom deck plan tour.
Check the deck plans for the sauna and steam room as they have been updated to be co-ed and may not reflect current ship layout.
Download the Carnival Hub app before the cruise.
