What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I think this is officially one of the most magical places I've ever been in my life. I was actually tearing up when I saw the seven sisters waterfall.

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

I could have literally eat these every single day they are so good

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

I do believe that New York is a collection of some of the most ambitious people, not just in the States, but in the world.

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

I just boarded the biggest cruise ship in the world. Welcome to Star of the Seas.

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

This is my first time ever on an Icon class ship, and I must say it is iconic.

The Watch-outs

But is it worth the long-term mental trauma, cruise ship politics, and literally breaking my body? Sometimes debatable, but 99% of the time, no.

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

I'd be sitting in a van for 6 and 1 half hours with a potential spinal injury not able to eat until 400 p.m. and miss the All Aboard time

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

For me, working on cruise ships is kind of like a toxic ex-boyfriend.

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

Yeah, so long story short, working on cruise ships, similar to my ex, I will not be going back.

🥉KnowledgeableWanderlust Alley

going to a doctor's appointment while working on a cruise ship currently I have some injuries
