In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by Sheri Griffiths from CruiseTipsTV (https://cruisetipstv.com) for a wide-ranging, fun, and insightful chat about all things cruising! Sheri shares the story behind CruiseTipsTV, from a high school graduation sailing aboard Carnival Ecstasy to launching a YouTube empire built on packing tips, cruise education, and Amazon favorites. We dig into Sheri’s experience across more than 50 sailings on lines like Princess, Carnival, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC, Virgin Voyages, Seabourn, and Oceania. She breaks down the “vibe” and ideal demographic for each, offers honest advice for planning (or not overplanning) your first cruise, and delivers some killer tips—like what you actually need to pack for Alaska (spoiler: it involves socks and maybe a scarf). Sheri also shares her thoughts on the evolution of cruise ships, private islands, and the rise of Virgin Voyages as a boundary-breaking brand. And don’t miss her ultimate picks for first-timers, families, introverts, and the “slightly bougie” among us—plus, where she’d sail tomorrow if she had the chance. Whether you’re a DCL diehard or just cruise-curious, Sheri’s warmth, humor, and deep knowledge of the cruise industry make this an episode you don’t want to miss.
