Creator's Key Takeaways

I am never sailing with that cruise line again.

Swearing off a cruise line, I think that's a bad idea.

I just have said, you know, several times that, you know, I I just choose not to to sail with them, right?

If you didn't have fun on a 4-day, you know, Carnival Booze cruise on Carnival Conquest, you know, maybe maybe try a 7-day cruise on Carnival Celebration.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wait a couple of seasons before writing off a cruise line as policies and quality change.

✓Try a different ship class or itinerary type (e.g., longer cruise or different destination) instead of a different line.

✓Recognize that some issues are acts of God or isolated incidents rather than systemic failures.
