What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I think what's blown me away is the attention to detail in such a large scale which is beyond belief to me. I am in awe.

I name this ship Estrella. May she bring joy to all who sail on her.

CasualTravel Weekly

Utopia is spectacular there is nothing to me like it for families couples who are coming to Orlando they have to step on board that ship

CasualTravel Weekly

the Aqua 82 show is just out of this world something that I've never seen whether that be on a ship or on land before to be honest it's just completely Sensational

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Travel Weekly.

  1. Use the ship's diverse neighborhoods to switch between lively activities and tranquility.

  2. Always check the 'alternatives' button for flights to find better deals or different times.

  3. Use the 'all included' package to save money on drinks and Wi-Fi compared to individual costs.

  4. Check for refundable flight options to allow guests to pay the flight cost as part of their balance rather than upfront.

  5. Book exclusive dining experiences in advance

  6. Lean on travel partners for education on luxury cruise options

  7. Consider the unique itineraries when choosing a cruise

  8. Agents should use short breaks or event voyages to introduce newcomers to Cunard
