I Won’t Do These 7 Cruises. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Either!

After 128 cruises over two decades, I’ve learned that while most cruises are fantastic… some are simply not worth the money. In this video I reveal 7 cruises I regret taking and now actively avoid — even though many travellers still book them thinking they’re getting a great deal. Some of these cruises look incredible in the brochure, others seem like obvious bargains, and a few are even considered “bucket list” sailings. But after experiencing them myself, I discovered why they can lead to disappointment, frustration, or simply poor value for money. In this video I explain: • The cruise that looks like the perfect way to try cruising — but often isn’t • The extremely popular cruise many people dream about that didn’t live up to expectations • The cruise timing mistake that can ruin an otherwise great itinerary • Why certain new ships and launches can disappoint early passengers • The itinerary issue that can leave you seeing far less than you expected • The booking situation that can quietly change the whole experience onboard • And the weather-related mistake many cruisers make without realising These are lessons I learned the hard way after spending years and a small fortune cruising the world. Hopefully they’ll help you avoid making the same costly mistakes. As always on Tips For Travellers, every cruise I talk about is paid for by me at the going fare through my travel agent, so you can be confident my views and advice are independent, honest and unbiased. If you're planning a cruise — especially a bucket list trip — this video may save you from booking the wrong one.
