Creator's Key Takeaways

I've personally taken and really enjoyed loads of different shorter cruises.

Shorter cruises can be a great way to try out a new cruise line or a new cruise ship without breaking the bank.

Shorter cruises can help you progress through cruise line loyalty programs much, much faster than full-length cruises.

The demographic on board for a shorter cruise can be very different to who you'll find on board for a longer cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get your expectations right before taking a shorter cruise to avoid disappointment.
Check if drinks packages are available for shorter cruises with your chosen cruise line.
Consider bolting a shorter cruise onto a longer trip to make the itinerary more exciting.

YouTube Video Description

#Cruise Short cruises can sound like a great idea. For passengers, they offer so many benefits. They're a great way to try a cruise ship, or a cruise line, for the first time without breaking the bank. They're also a really great way to try a cruise in general, before committing to a full length trip. For the cruise lines, short cruises offer a way to generate revenue during periods where longer cruises might be difficult to sell, and they can also fill scheduling gaps in between more awkward lengths of cruises. In this video, I'm going to share with you 10 of the reasons why I LOVE short cruises, and also 5 of the reasons why I DON'T. Enjoy this video? Great! You might also enjoy these ones, too.
