Creator's Key Takeaways

She really, really is. And you can see the differences. Not not just necessarily the differences between a cruise ship and an ocean liner, although those are apparent if you know what to look for.

Even Carnival takes better care of their ships. Right.

We are We are legitimately on the ghost ship Queen Elizabeth 2.

On all the active cruise ships though, this would be someone would be fired for this. They'd be out here scrubbing and painting and everything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check the website explicitly for what 'board' options (half/full board) include regarding restaurant access vs just the buffet.
✓If you care about room condition, look for specifically renovated rooms when booking.
✓Bring a cleaning cloth for your phone screen if you're going to be taking photos constantly.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Room condition differences — Pay attention to whether rooms are renovated or unrenovated when booking.
What's included with board options — The website descriptions are unclear - check explicitly if 'board' includes only buffet or access to any restaurant.
Getting lost on the ship — The ship has many small stairways and can be confusing - use the map and take note of deck letters/numbers.
