Creator's Key Takeaways

I cruised 22 times in 2025 and boy did I learn a lot.

Yes, I do get tired of cruising. But you have to understand that this is work for me.

My favorite cruise of 2025 should not come to a surprise to any of you guys, but it was Explorer Journeys.

The cruise that disappointed me the most um really as long as I'm out on the water and I'm able to visit ports. I'm usually not disappointed when it comes to cruising, but I will say that the cruise ship that disappointed me the most that I was looking forward to was Disney Wish.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book cruises well in advance to lock in the best rate and get your preferred cabin.
✓Use a travel agent who actually cruises for personalized advice and support.
✓Book excursions through third-party providers for better value and smaller groups.
✓To avoid burnout, try new cruise lines and ships to keep experiences fresh.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not using a travel agent when booking — Use a travel agent who cruises for expert guidance and support.
Booking the cheapest cabin available — Consider cabin location and guarantees; cheapest isn't always best value.
Overpacking — Pack essentials like bathing suits, water shoes, and use packing cubes to stay organized.
