Creator's Key Takeaways

Today we are going to talk about crowded cruise ships. Not that we know anything about it after our last cruise, but before that we had lots of crowds.

If you want to avoid the crowds, first thing is do not cruise during peak season.

Opt for smaller ships. Consider cruising on smaller ships which naturally have fewer passengers.

When the ship is docked, it becomes a sea day for you and there's nobody on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose smaller ships or luxury and boutique cruise lines for more intimate experiences.
✓Select unconventional or longer itineraries to reduce crowds.
✓Dine not at peak times; use early lunch, early dinner, or room service to avoid crowds.
✓Use adults-only areas or paid specialty areas to escape crowds.
✓Participate in activities or visit popular spots early in the morning or late at night.
✓Book specialty dining or use free or low-cost dining options to avoid main dining room crowds.

Intimidation about joining a group cruise for the first time — Many people haven't done it before, and they are getting to know them and can't wait to meet them in person.
