Creator's Key Takeaways

First impressions, this ship is stunning. It has to be the nicest cruise ship we've ever been on.

We paid over 20 times that at $3,900 per person for three nights.

Is it worth the price? Absolutely. This has been tremendous. I've loved every second.

Suzanne says the value for money just isn't here.

Thanks to Incogni for sponsoring this video!

Although, to be fair, this is way more than a First Class Cruise - or even an Ultra Luxury Cruise! This is the world’s first - and only - Five Star Cruise. Ilma is also one of the newest all inclusive Cruise Ships in the world! This may be the most expensive cruise in the world, so it will definitely be nice. But, is it worth it? Well, we left the World’s First Five Star Cruise with mixed feelings… Ilma has room for only 448 passengers and offers nearly a 1-to-1 guest to crew ratio! That virtually guarantees a first class experience onboard and we’ll show you exactly what you can expect if you book this first class cruise all all of its all inclusive cruise offerings! You’ll get a complete tour of Ilma and tell you exactly what it’s like inside a Ritz Carlton Yacht. This Ritz Carlton Cruise Review is our first time cruising with them and we chose to do it inside a Terrace Suite, their entry level room. But, it may be the cheapest room onboard, it’s still expensive and includes a bunch of impressive features like a MASSIVE balcony and even an ambassador (a/k/a butler)! We’ll even show you all 5+ restaurants onboard. So, join Suzanne and me inside Ilma as we travel on a  Ritz Carlton Yacht through the Caribbean!! 0:00 Introduction 0:42 Boarding 5 Star Cruise 3:18 Suite Tour 5:48 Incogni 7:08 Sailaway Party 9:06 Day 2 10:32 Ship Tour 13:11 Exploring St. Barth 17:04 Day 3 19:12 Our Final Thoughts 20:04 Who Is This For?
