What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œthe shows were so good uh 10”

β€œoverall rating of your experience on wonder of the Seas outstanding”

β€œAll in all, that remains something that I enjoy, that I love about being on cruise ships is the opportunity to try wines from around the world.”

β€œIt's like being in a cozy, loving home. Isn't that great?”

β€œI mean, bumper cars on a cruise ship? Sign me up.”

The Watch-outs

β€œthis is like one of the worst places to have a balcony cabin”

β€œthe dad is literally putting his fingers in his wife's butt crack while they're getting a family photo on a cruise ship”

β€œother than that I guess I can't think of any reason to book one of these cabins”

β€œpeople screaming at the crew should be banned to their room and escorted off at the next port”

β€œthere are some cabins here on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas that you definitely do not want to book”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Very unOfficial Travel Guides.

  1. Use discount websites to find inexpensive cruises.

  2. Look for ships with included entertainment to avoid extra costs.

  3. Maintain excellent anger management skills to avoid legal complications on a cruise.

  4. Be aware that local territorial sovereignty (the 12-mile zone) overrides the law of the flag when a ship is in port.

  5. Check if your flight delay is due to weather or strikes, as EU compensation regulations may not apply in those cases.

  6. Be aware that new EU regulations will allow families with children 14 or younger to sit together for free.

  7. If you don't use a smartphone, you are not required to use an airline app to get your boarding pass in the EU.

  8. Avoid 50-minute layovers to prevent panic and missed connections.
