Creator's Key Takeaways

I am a full on OT level eight when it comes to the cult of cruising.

Cunard is, well, obviously Cunard is Keeping Up Appearances.

MSC is Fawlty Towers. Sure, it looks nice enough from the outside, but as soon as the credits stop rolling and you step on board, it is utter chaos from the off.

Virgin Voyages is Fleabag. If modern, stylish, and, well, pretty uncomfortable is your bag or Fleabag, then Virgin Voyages are the ships for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use British sitcom similes to explain differences between cruise lines.
If someone still doesn't understand, call them something horrible and walk away.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome back to Cruisetube – where we take cruising far more seriously than any normal human should. In today’s episode, I’m tackling one of the great mysteries of life: Why do some people think all cruise lines are the same? If you’ve ever found yourself trying (and failing) to explain the difference between Cunard, MSC, Celebrity, P&O and the rest to a thoroughly hopeless OP then this is the guide for you. I’m diving into cruise culture through a very British lens, using iconic TV shows to decode the personality of each cruise line in a way that even the most clueless non cult member can finally grasp. Expect sarcasm. Expect nostalgia. Expect accuracy you didn’t ask for but absolutely needed. If you love cruising, British comedy, or watching people be wrong on the internet, you’re in the right place. Here, ladies and gentlemen… WE GO!
