Creator's Key Takeaways

The Virgin Voyages cabin with the balcony. I do love the traditional balconies and sliding doors and, you know, the hammock out there.

Kunard, I would say for me, was the best quality and variety of food.

I do enjoy the sort of historical elegance of a Kunar of the Kunard cruises.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the not infinite veranda on Celebrity if possible.
โœ“If you have kids, consider Royal Caribbean or Disney for entertainment.
โœ“If you want a relaxed vibe, Princess or Celebrity have nice relaxing areas.
