Creator's Key Takeaways

avoid sampler cruises. Yeah, cuz they can be they're not a good reflection of what you're actually getting.

we look at five nights and above. Yeah. To get a real flavor.

repositioning cruises tend to be sea day heavy as opposed to port heavy. Which means you get a lot more chance to experience the ships.

try and find a cruise line where you feel that you're getting a similar vibe.
